JH Industries

Jinsi-Hiyao Industries was formed by the merger of Jinsi Holdings and Hiyao Heavy Industries in 2026.

The company diversified into weapons manufacture in 2031, and the following year released the Tachi selective-fire pistol onto global markets. The pistol, using the .40 Smith & Wesson caliber, never sold much outside Japan (although a semi-automatic version was quite successful in the US sporting market), but was adopted as the service pistol of the GSDF in 2034.

In 2035, they followed up their success with the release of the MX-5 bullpup assault rifle. The MX-5 used a customized high-power 8.45x41mm MX round designed to penetrate high-density armour. The MX-5 underwent trials by the GSDF in early 2036, where it was decided that due to the difficulty even augmented soldiers had with controlling the weapon in automatic fire, it should be reserved for Cybernetically Enhanced Combat Forces (as defined by the UNCECF Treaty, 2031). The MX-5 and its suppressed variant, the MXS-5, have never been legally sold outside Japan, and even within its boundries it's aquisition is tightly monitored.
