Type 56C: China's Last Military AK (And It's Totally Non-Standard) (Ad-free)
🕑 Added 2025-03-17 12:00:02 +0000 UTCThe Type 56C is the final iteration of Chinese Kalashnikov, originally intended for export but primarily used by Chinese police and special forces. It is a short-barreled carbine with a folding stock, and remarkably few standard AK parts. The receiver takes a number of cues from the Type 81 rifle, and is shorter and has different geometry than the standard AKM stamped receiver. The gas block includes an adjustable gas plug, and the sights are also reminiscent of the Type 81.

I don't know; I haven't seen one fire. The bolt and receiver would increase it, but a heavier spring or (more importantly) smaller gas port would reduce it.

do those have a considerably higher rate of fire? shorter receiver lighter bolt? looks real handy for close stuff.
