The Type 44, officially the Type 44 cavalry rifle, is a Japanese bolt-action carbine designed in 1911 by Arisaka Nariakira and built with a fixed, folding bayonet for cavalry troops. Based on the Type 38 service rifle, it was first issued before World War I, produced in large numbers, and remained in production into the early years of World War II.
