Automatic Rifle Type 1961 also known commonly as "Arakawa" from the surname of it's creator, Brig Gen. Arakawa Hidemitsu is one of most iconic Nifonese firearms. It was accepted into service in 1961, after evaluation conducted by the Imperial Nifonese Army concluded that the recent developments in Assault Rifle rendered battle rifles used up until that time obsolete. During the Cold War Era, the Nifonese state exported this rifle to various anti-communist states and militias, forging it's image as an icon of global fight against socialism.

- The rifle is 970mm long, and with full combat load weights 3.3 kilograms.

- The grip, stock and cover of the barrel are made of high quality wood.

- Receiver and other metal elements were made of stamped and welded steel components. This method of production is easy and cost effective, allowing the Arakawa rifle to be produced with minimal cost and equipment.

- Type 1961 is a selective gas operated firearm utilizing a short stroke piston system. The gasses release during ignition of the cartridge are pushed through a port located at the end of the barrel, opening a tube that contains the piston system. In a single movement the piston is then propelled backwards, then it is stopped. Return spring propels the piston forward while gases are released via two ports on the sides.

The use of short stroke piston gives Arakawa a decisivene edge in accuracy over it's main competitor - the AK series or rifles while maintaining the same level of reliability.

- Ejection port is located on the right side. Type 1962 fires from closed bolt. The ejection port is also covered in chromium which protect the mechanism inside from humid environment of tropical areas in Southern Furukuran Sea.

- The barrel length is 465mm.

- This weapon features a trigger mechanism with a lever type fire selector, which is also used as fire safety similar to that included in the AK series of rifles . Three modes are available - no fire, single round and multiple rounds.

- The weapon is fed with a drum magazine with 20x or 30x 5.7x44 SACTO round options. 40 round drum magazine is available too.

- Arakawa is powered by Standard Rifle Cartridge series of ammunition, each fitting dimensions of 5.7mm of diameter and 44mm of length. Most commonly used round, Nifonese Standard Rifle Cartridge Type 1985, is a rimless bottlenecked round weighting 4.2 grams.

- When fired from the barrel the round reaches muzzle velocity of 980 m/s and energy of 2010 J.

- Rate of fire is 720 rounds per minute.

- This rifle features M14-style flash suppressor.

- Type 1961 features a two part sight system - a rotary rear drum and hooded front post. The drum features four modes - rapid target acquisition, close range, low light and impaired visibility use.
