Having used the French Hotchkiss Modele 97 to great effect during the Russo-Japanese war, the Japanese decided to develop a licensed version of its successor the Modele 1917 which became the Type 3 Machine Gun. Rather than sticking with the original French calibre, the Japanese converted the design to their then standard 6.5mm calibre.
