Norinco Type 56 (AK47) Description
The Type 56 is selective fire, gas operated assault rifle with rotating bolt. It is the Chinese copy of the Kalashnikov AK-47 and AKM assault rifle, which has been manufactured since 1956.

It is estimated that around 10 to 15 millions of them were made in that time. In post WWII world, communist China was looking to modernized it's army so they ask Soviets for help. With help of communist Russia, China in 1956 started to manufacture their own copies of famous Russian Simonov SKS carbine and Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle. The Chinese copy of Simonov SKS carbine was named Type 56 carbine (be aware of carbine to avoid confusion with Type 56 AK clone).

The type 56 is almost exact copy of Russian AK-47 with only notable difference to be under folding non-detachable bayonet while Soviet original had detachable bayonet.
