The Sumitomo NTK-62 (62式7.62mm機関銃 Rokuni-shiki Nana-ten-rokuni-miri Kikanjū) is the standard issue GPMG of the Japan Self-Defense Forces known as the Type 62 GPMG. Though the Sumitomo Heavy Industries’ M249 has largely replaced it in the JGSDF the weapon still plays a support role as it is still used as a co-axial weapon in various armored vehicles including tanks and APCs as well as being a medium support machine gun. Like most modern Japanese-made firearms it was never exported.
