Japanese Police are armed? Huh.

They are. This happened during the.occupation of Japan by the Allied forces - most specifically the Americans - after WWII.

The handgun the Japanese police carry is little-changed from the model introduced at that time, which is why it is still an ancient-looking revolver.
