Yokosuka MXY7-K1
This aircraft was a idea that was as equally interesting as it was terrifying. It is a suicide-plane. Once deployed, the pilot would traveled to their target and crash into the; setting the bomb off. This was used as a last line of defense. There was also a under-water torpedo based off of this idea as well.

Nambu Type 14 Semi-Automatic Pistol
The Nambu was the standard pistol for the Japanese infantry during WW2. It had its safety switch in an odd place, requiring the soldier to use their free hand to disable it. It was a light gun (weight-wise) and was fairly balanced. The good balance was due to most of the actual mechanisms were towards the back, near the shooter's hand. Unfortunately, Japan made it so that their soldiers had to buy their own guns if they wanted anything other than the standard issue weapon.
