The Lyrics
My 475th SJH IPASOY parody!!! This one deals with the absurd WW2 Japanese Nambu Sword-Pistol combo born out of desperation due to the fact that the Japanese made poor infantry weapons with a poor 7-8mm caliber. The normal Nambu was 8mm but for the sword-combo Baby Nambus of 7mm were used, mated to 1800s swords. Sword-pistols were nothing new as there were Flintlock types back in the 18th century... but encountering one in the Pacific in 1945 was kinda shocking to US troops. It failed as both pistol and as a sword- very awkward to carry and use effectively. The Japanese should have taken the German WW1 route and simply made an artillery Nambu with a high capacity snail-drum mag and extended barrel ;-)
The absurd Sword-Nambu
combo crime
The mating workmanship was crude
Gun affixin’
Sword for swingin’
Was easy to jam it
Hard to carry round
Needed better weapons
Copy of Garand, Type 5, not found
[Due to constant production slow-downs]
The absurd Sword-Nambu
combo crime
Bad design
Little use
Little use
Little use
Weapon of last resort
Encountered-rare
Just an oddity
Need to abort
[Nambu was short]
7 (mm) was weak
The absurd Sword-Nambu
combo crime
(Sword action no great feat)

I've had the chance to handle a couple of Baby Nambu pistols, and a number of katanas. But never a combination of the two. That would be weird.
