The Nambu pistol, which was the standard sidearm of the Imperial Army, was one of the worst handguns ever issued, and the Arisaka rifle, while extremely strong and reliable, would have been fine in World War I, not World War II. Japanese armor was poor, as was their radar, communications equipment in general, and small arms. The Long Lance torpedo was superior to our torpedoes (which often failed to detonate), but that was about as far as it went.

My uncle, who was a navy officer in World War II, brought home a number of souvenirs, among which was an Arisaka Type 99 7.7mm Short Rifle with a bullet hole through its buttstock.
