It could also be fired without pulling the trigger. The sear bar was exposed and pressing on it could fire the weapon.
Some Japanese LMGs had mounts for the large style bayonet. One even added a telescopic sight and a mechanical counter to it's 30 round magazine (Type 96, I think).
Early-war Japanese rifles weren't really bad, just unremarkable.
