The Howa Type 64 Battle Rifle (64式自動小銃 Roku-yon-shiki-jidou-shoujuu) is a Japanese battle rifle used exclusively by the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the Japanese Coast Guard. It is a gas-operated selective fire weapon which is chambered for the 7.62x51mm NATO round and uses a detachable 20-round box magazine. The Type 64 was never exported due to Japan’s strict anti-hardware export laws.
