The [[Type 4 rifle|Type 4 Rifle]], often referred to as the Type 5 Rifle (Japanese: 四式自動小銃 ''Yon-shiki jidousyoujyuu''), was a Japanese prototype [[semi-automatic rifle]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nramuseum.org/the-museum/the-galleries/ever-vigilant/case-63-world-war-ii-allies-and-japan/%27%27japanese-garand%27%27-wwii-semi-automatic-rifle.aspx |title="Japanese Garand" WWII Semi-Automatic Rifle |website=The National Firearms Museum |publisher=NRA |access-date=6 June 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140327101116/http://nramuseum.org/the-museum/the-galleries/ever-vigilant/case-63-world-war-ii-allies-and-japan/%27%27japanese-garand%27%27-wwii-semi-automatic-rifle.aspx |archive-date=27 March 2014}}</ref> It was a copy of the American M1 Garand but with an integral 10-round [[magazine (firearms)|magazine]] and chambered for the Japanese [[7.7×58mm Arisaka]] cartridge.<ref name= "rifles">{{cite book |last=Walter |first=John |title=Rifles of the World |publisher=Krause Publications|year=2006 |location=Iola, WI |page=146 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Eq2Dnj4sDZIC&pg=PA146 |edition=3rd |isbn=978-0-89689-241-5}}</ref> Where the Garand used an [[Clip (ammunition)#En bloc|''en bloc'' clip]], the Type 4's integral magazine was charged with two 5-round [[stripper clip]]s and the rifle also used Japanese style tangent sights. The Type 4 had been developed alongside several other prototypical semi-automatic rifles. However, none of the rifles entered into service before the end of [[World War II]], with only 250 being made and many others were never assembled. There were several problems with jamming and feed systems, which also delayed its testing.

===Beretta models===
[[File:Bm59.jpg|thumb|Beretta BM59]]
During the 1950s, [[Beretta]] produced Garands in Italy at the behest of [[NATO]], by having the tooling used by Winchester during World War II shipped to them by the U.S. government. These rifles were designated "Model 1952" in Italy. Using this tooling, Beretta developed the [[Beretta BM59|BM59]] series of rifles. The BM59 was essentially a rechambered [[7.62×51mm NATO]] caliber M1 fitted with a removable 20-round magazine, folding bipod and a combined flash suppressor-rifle grenade launcher. The BM59 is capable of selective fire. These rifles were produced under license in Indonesia as the "[[Beretta BM59|SP-1]]" series.
