Type 56 Carbine

Quite literally a copy of the Russian SKS, with a few minor differences owing to local construction techniques. At the time of its induction of the the People's Liberation Army armory in 1956, the doctrine of the Chinese army relied on long-range sniping, spoiling attacks, and ambushes. During the Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979, however, the SKS's capacity for long-range precision fire was of little use in the mountain jungles of the border region, and the SKS finally fell out of use with the main Chinese army after 30 years of service as preference for assault rifles finally prevailed. 
Both Type 56s would be replaced by the Type 81, which would later be replaced in turn by the Type 95 and Type 03. These two very dated weapons would be passed down to militia units, which, following the outbreak of the Human-Vannai War, would go on to become the Survivalists Coalition and the Axe Gang Bandits. As a result, the Type 56 Carbine is still encountered in skirmishes between the various Chinese factions, fulfilling its intended role as a weapon for highly mobile, self-reliant guerrilla bands and rural militias protecting their own villages.
