Depends on who you ask. The answer could be "one" or "two" or "we're not sure but we think more were created." Also depends on whether you're talking about the pistol or the carbine.

Damn you moving0target. I thought you wouldn't know about the carbine.

I was about 90% certain I was right on that.

Lets see if I can get you with this one:

Easy: Who designed the automatic pistols for Japan in the first half of the 1900's?

Hard: Name the pistol models.

Kijiro Nambu was the designer.

This is a list of his designs.

Type A Model 1902 Grandpa Nambu

Type A Model 1902 Modified

Baby Nambu

Type 14 Nambu

Type 94 Shiki Kenju

Natch.

I have a feeling I would have to find something ridiculously obscure to get you.

What was the name of John Browning's mother's cat?

Was it Kitty?

I realize that I did not answer the last question, but I do have a ridiculously obscure one that might be able to shut 5.56 up for a second or so! I'll ask it, and if you think that I am out of order, do not answer it and I will wait for my turn, which may come on a really good day in about fifteen years or so.

The British were experimenting with different calibres before the US forced the adoption of the 7.62 NATO round. They built an experimental system based on the 4.85mm round, and the SAW in that calibre had a quality that made it completely unique among all machine guns ever made. What was that quality?

Heheheheheheheh...

(Actually, should not laugh. The last time I laughed, the question did not last very long.)

Does it have something to do with penetration at long ranges?

The British 4.85x49mm was designed and tested during the 1970s. Way after the 7.62NATO was adopted. The Cartridge that the british were playing with back when the 7.62NATO was adopted was the . 280 British for the EM-2 Rifle. That was around the 1950s. The 4.85x49mm wasn't even around yet.

As for the waepon that the British were design with was the 4.85x49mm LSW. Which gave birth to the SA-80 Light Support Weapon. Which is known for it's crappy quality.

What quality does the L86A1 have? It is better as a Sniper Rifle than as a Light Squad Automatic Weapon.

Was it tinkle?

Well, you are getting close. Yes, it was very accurate, but the quality showed on automatic fire.

Was it Tabby?
