I dont know a whole lot about Japanese small arms sales to civilians. Ive been told Japan doesnt typically make civilian variants or sell outside Japan.

Basically, what are the chances of being able to get my hands on one to check it out? Im in the US, so itd ahve to be a semi auto variant.

Zip. They don’t make semi auto models. Closest most can get is airsoft, some do make their way across to the outside world but mostly for special reasons as reference display or for joint training abroad.

@Deino @Bltizo ( asking both of you since i think a regular won't have an answer)
Why are the maya/atago and Sejong class, which are based on AB class, so much cheaper than the original, even though they are largely the same design armed with equivalent sensors/armament?
Someone on one of the other forums stated ' its because US ships are military grade versus these other classes made to civilian grade specs', how much of a difference there really is?

They aren't cheaper. The Maya is in completely in line of a recent Burke ship. The claim about military grade and civilian grade specs is completely nonsense.

Even ignoring stuff like different forms of accounting.

If we don't ignore the accounting, then Maya should be even more expensive since Japan needs to pay FMS surcharge on items directly purchased from the US like An/spy-1, spq-9, mk41, the main gun etc.

You need also to take PPP into account.

PPP/nominal ratio for Japan is hardly 110%, which equalizes accounts for all sectors.
I'd expect ppp prices for high tech integration and military shipbuilding to show less variance from nominal figures.
