=Combatants=

JSDF (From Wikipedia)
The Japan Self-Defense Forces (自衛隊, Jieitai?), or JSDF, occasionally referred to as JSF or SDF, are the unified military forces of Japan that were established after the end of the post–World War II Allied occupation of Japan. For most of the post-war period the JSDF was confined to the islands of Japan and not permitted to be deployed abroad. In recent years they have been engaged in international peacekeeping operations.

Yamainu (modified from Higurashi wiki)
The Yamainu (lit. "Mountain Hounds") are a counter-intelligence force under the control of the "Tokyo conspiracy", a conspiracy to weaponize the Hinamizawa virus. Though they are initially there to protect Furude Rika (under codename 'R') and those working at the Irie Clinic, they are bribed by Takano Miyo to help her carry out her plan to destroy Hinamizawa.

=Weapons= Note: In the case of the assault rifles, due to a "gap" in their arsenal, I gave the Yamainu a likely candidate (Howa Type 64) for the time period.

M9 Bayonet (JSDF)
A 7-inch blade that can be used detached or on the end of a rifle, the M9 has a clip point and can, in combination with the sheath, be used as a wire cutter.

Nightstick (Yamainu)
Yamainu troops are seen using a simple wooden nightstick of about twelve-fourteen inches in length.

119's Edge
The JSDF's M9 Bayonet for its superior reach.

Sig Sauer P220 (JSDF)

Browning Hi-Power (Yamainu)
The Browning Hi-Power is a 9mm handgun with a 13-round magazine and an effective range of about 50 meters.

119's Edge
The Yamainu's Browning Hi-Power for its greater stopping power.

Minebea PM9 (JSDF)

Howa Type 89 (JSDF)
The Howa Type 89 is a 5.56mm assault rifle capable of firing in full auto, semi auto, or three round bursts with a rate of fire of about 750 rounds per minute. The Howa can fire from a 20 or 30 round magazine. The Type 89 has an effective range of 500 meters

Howa Type 64 (Yamainu)

The standard JSDF rocket launcher is the Panzerfaust 3, a one-shot disposable launcher with a maximum range of 920 meters and fires a 110mm warhead. The Panzerfaust 3 is equipped with a telescopic sight.

119's Edge
The JSDF's Panzerfaust 3 has a longer range, is more accurate, and has larger warhead, more than making up for its one-shot nature. =Battle= TBA, begins Friday, 9/9.
