Today we're taking a look at William Easterly's booklet "A Comprehensive Study [of] Japanese Submachine Guns: 1920 - 1945". Talk about a subject with very little written coverage - Easterly has photos, data, and descriptions of at least a half dozen really unusual experimental Japanese SMGs form the 1920s and 1930s, as well as both models of the Type 100 that was finally adopted officially. It's expensive for the size and production quality, but I don't know of a better source of info on these guns. The booklet is 65 pages plus an appendix of original documents in Japanese, and can be purchased directly from the author. To get yourself copy (dated, serial numbered, and autographed by the author), send $36 (check MO, or PayPal) to: william m.p. EASTERLY P.O.
