Machine gun Monday, Nambu Experimental Type 2 Model B
Apparently this odd looking Japanese "rapid fire pistol" was designed prewar by rifle manufacturer Kijiro Nambu, firing the 8 x 22 pistol round. It was originally fitted with a 50 round magazine from the Type 1 but the mag size was reduced to 30 as shown below. It was rejected by the Japanese military, so did not reach production and it seems that only about 50 were built.
More here.
Well if it was anything like the Type 94 Nambu pistol better it didn't make it. That thing had an outside sear and could go full auto or fire being holstered, etc.
