I'm giving my edge to the Italian Blackshirts.

At up to 40 rounds in the box magazines, the Beretta SMG out fires the Type 100 which maxes out at 30 rounds,

The Carcano out fires the Ariska. While both can have bayonets attached to them the Carcano has a bigger ammunition capacity, admittedly by just 1 bullet, but in some cases that makes the difference.

Pistols are a draw

grenades are a draw.

The only weapon the japs are at an advantage is the Type 99 machine gun.
