It wouldn't be until after 1937 that work would begin on a domestically-developed submachine gun. Prior to the late 1930's, the Imperial Japanese military had purchased around 6000 MP-18 submachine guns from Switzerland and Austria, which they would use during the invasion of China in 1937. Japan was surprisingly late in introducing a submachine gun to its armed forces. The No.1 "The Liar" Submachine Gun appears to be based off the Beretta M1918 submachine gun.The Type 100 submachine gun (一〇〇式機関短銃, or Hyaku-shiki kikan-tanjū) was a Japanese submachine gun used during World War II, and the only submachine gun produced by Japan in any quantity.

This means the Liar is less at a loss during the day and in open combat.

The Liar also doesn't lose accuracy when firing standing and in full cover. At rifle range (~28m) the Liar can still kill in 5 or 6 shots and a good stable position will ensure at least half of its bullets hit (something the Fiddler definitely cannot do). The gun's high accuracy allows it to stay competitive at the higher end of its range. Like other SMGs, it's more efficient at night. You should always wait for the gun to reach its max accuracy, then slowly move toward the enemy and use cover. It does not lose accuracy if you walk while aiming, but unlike other SMGs walking or sprinting decrease your accuracy.ĭue to its characteristics, the gun shouldn't be used in a "Run & Gun" fashion like the Fiddler. The gun has a relatively slow stabilization but once it reaches its maximum accuracy it becomes a very accurate full auto weapon. However it possess a superior accuracy (less than a rifle though) and keeps it for longer when firing. It loses more accuracy from mouse movement.

It loses accuracy if moving without aiming.

On the surface the Liar looks like a worse Fiddler SMG: same damage (3 or 4 shots to kill), same range, longer reload, heavier, smaller magazine, slower fire rate.
