The '''Type Hei''' (''Hei'' being the Japanese character for C) is a prototype semi-automatic Japanese rifle. It was one of three experimental semi-automatic rifles commissioned for testing by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1932 and produced by Nippon Special Steel. It utilizes a toggle-lock action similar to the action seen on the experimental [[Pedersen Rifle]]. Early versions of the rifle feature a detachable 5-round magazine, with later versions having an increased 10-round capacity. Both versions could be loaded using [[Arisaka]] stripper clips. A variant with a 20-round magazine and full automatic fire capability was also trialed as a light machine gun. The Type Hei along with the two other semi-automatic rifles submitted for evaluation by the Japanese military were tested in 1935, but none were found suitable for mass production and use.
