Type 92 Japanese Nambu Machine Gun. That was the worst possible machine gun of its time. Instead of a clip like the BAR or BREN Gun, or a belt like the M1917 Browning or the M1919A4 Browning and the MG34 and MG42, the Type 92 Nambu required the 20 round clips that had to be fed individually, and could not be connected like the belts. It the the reason these machine gun positions were easily overrun.
