Book with info on non native Japanese small arms?

[greenr18]

Are there any books that go into fine detail of non-indengeous firearms adopted by the Japanese for use during and before WW2? IE the Sig version of the MP18 if it had any changes, etc

Believe there might be one about Japanese use of the Carcano.
This.

I don't know about a specific book but some of their pilots used Spanish made pistols. If I remember correctly, it was a Ruby design that carried about 20 rounds in the magazine.

In an article written by Lt. Col. William Brophy (Ret.), in "Gun Collector's Digest" on Japanese Military Arms-Pistols there's a brief mention of Japanese officers purchasing their own sidearms. He has a photo of a DWM Model 22 in .32 ACP, complete with holster and accessories.
