How do you unlock the Type 100?

The Type 100 unlocks at Level 25 in Call of Duty: World at War (2008). A 30-round magazine and faster automatic rhythm than the MP40 make the Type 100 a balanced aggressive weapon. It has enough control for medium lanes while still handling close routes, and its Box Magazine raises capacity to 60 rounds after the final Marksman tier. World at War multiplayer has no selectable weapon camos; Expert headshot challenges award XP only.
