In around 1935, Japanese firearm designer Kijiro Nambu (best known for Nambu Type 14 pistol) designed two experimental submachine guns, the Experimental Type 1 Submachine Gun (試製一型機関短銃, Shisei-ichi-gata kikan-tanjū) and the Experimental Type 2 Submachine Gun (試製二型機関短銃, Shisei-ni-gata kikan-tanjū). The number of produced guns is very small, and neither were officially adopted by the Imperial Japanese military, but it has been suggested that the IJN purchased a small number of Type II SMGs for testing.
Information on the two experimental models were muddled, particularly with their designation; the Type I is alternately designated "Nambu Model I" or the "Type IIA", which suggests that both weapons were all under the same "Nambu Experimental Type II" classification, just with different models. IMFDB formerly used the derived names "Type II Model A" and "Type II Model B" to refer to Type I and Type II respectively. Japanese sources however, made no mention of the Model A/B sub-classification.
Incidentally, the Type I was one of the first SMGs that used the pistol grip as magazine well.
