[QUOTE="Pelzig, post: 49441, member: 2227"] The first kanji in the second of three scans I posted does mean "lesson" or "teach". The third kanji, prior to the 7.9mm can translate as "use" or "for". The second kanji can translate as "train". I checked for other translations that might hint as gun laying but found none. So, I guess that brings up a new set of questions. Were the machine-guns fitted as standard or only installed during training? Some cut-aways of the Shinden either show them or don't. If they were fitted for training, that kind of nullifies the concept of replacing the cannons with four of the Type 1 weapons as one source mentioned. To me, at least, you have cannons installed. Why not train with those? What was the real need for the two machine-guns? I'm partial to the gun laying theory but the kanji isn't bearing that out. Cheers!
