Type 94 Shin Guntō

The Type 94 "Shin Guntō" (English: new army sword) is a sword produced by Imperial Japan. It replaced the Kyu Gunto as the standard katana issued to officers of Japan's armed forces. It ranged between new traditionally manufactured blades to ancestral blades. The Type 94 in particular entered production in 1934.

Battlefield 1943
The Shin Gunto is the melee weapon issued to the IJN Scout kit. If a player is to hit an enemy, it will be guaranteed 1 hit kill, like all melee weapons in the game.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the Shin Gunto makes a brief appearance during the opening mission, Operation Aurora. It is first seen when the player enters the trenches, where a Japanese soldier jumps down to attack Faraday with it, but quickly is killed. It is not seen in any other scripted event, however, if a player gets near enough to a Japanese soldier to be in melee range, the soldier will pull it out to kill the player. If it hits, it will instantaneously kill the player, regardless of the difficulty mode and damage already sustained by the player. It is not usable by the player.
