Overview[]
The QBZ1956-1 7.62mm Assault Rifle (abbreviated as QBZ56-1), also known as Type 1956-1 Submachine Gun is a Chinese assault rifle developed from the Soviet AKMS. Like the AKMS, the QBZ56 lacks a rail to mount optics.
Nomenclature[]
Like most weapons developed before the 1980s, the QBZ56 was known by the Type designation until it was re-designated by the new naming systems implemented in the 1980s through to the early 2000s.
