The Type 92 7.7mm machine gun (九二式七粍七機銃 Kyūni-shiki nana-miri-nana kijū) was developed for aerial use for the Imperial Japanese Navy before World War II. It was the standard hand-held machine gun in multi-place IJN aircraft during the most part of the Pacific War. It proved to be seriously inadequate. Aircraft produced in the later part of the conflict often were eqipped with weapons such as Type 1 and Type 2 machine guns or Type 99 cannon.
