Sound about as stupid as car prototype designations.

Basically...not alot of imagination going on there I would suspect 😆
Once ya understand it tho it's a pretty simple system..ya want a real mind bender ..the Japanese with their Type system...everything seems to be Type this or Type that and ya really have to know how that works to sort out it's yr .
Here's one for ya bud...Isuzu Type 94a (TU 10) light truck...the number indicates it was built in 1934 or 2594 in the Japanese system

Oh no!

Why do they give the SAME number to a tank and a rifle? 

Each has a name and the M number. Try understanding the designation for different variations! Then there is the T number for new designs and prototypes that has nothing to do with the M number that is given if the item is actually accepted........

And then there's the stock listing (FSN/NSN).  And each component of that piece of equipment has its own separate stock number.
