Type 56 assault rifle

The Type 56 assault rifle is the Chinese clone of the Soviet AK-47 rifle. It was China's service rifle from 1956 to the adoption of the QBZ-95 in around 1997, and is the most produced variant of the AK rifle in the world.
The Type 56 is the most commonly used AK variant in American film and television productions. This came about because China exported civilian AK variants (both Type 56 patterened and less commonly Soviet AK patterened) to the West in large numbers during the 1980s, primarily by the export companies Norinco (not to be confused with Norinco Group) and Poly Technologies. Most American movie prop rental houses had dozens if not hundreds of Type 56s, usually semi-automatic civilian versions, in many cases converted to full-auto by Class III manufacturers.
The easiest way to distinguish a Type 56 variant is its front sight: Type 56s have a distinctive full-circle ("hooded") front sight that no other AKs (excluding the Romanian Draco Pistol carbines) have.
Note: IMFDB previously incorrectly prefixed this weapon's name with "Norinco", under the false assumption that it was manufactured by Norinco or Norinco Group. Editors should not prefix this weapon's name with Norinco, and should remove them when they appear, as this weapon was not manufactured by Norinco or Norinco Group.

==Type 56==
The Type 56 designates the original fixed stock variant of the Chinese AK. Historically, most Type 56s were manufactured by Factory 626 in Heilongjiang, whose weapons featured a "triangle 66" roll mark (confusingly suggesting that they were manufactured by the nonexistent "Factory 66"). Numerous other Chinese state factories besides Factory 626 also manufactured the Type 56.
In America, prior to the wave of Chinese gun exports in the 1980s, small numbers of military Type 56s were brought to America as trophies from the Vietnam War. Prior to 1982, importing military equipment from communist nations was illegal at the federal level in the United States. In 1983 the list of prohibited countries from which to receive weapons from (for the civilian market) was amended due to special trade agreements signed between the USA and China & Yugoslavia, opening America to AK and SKS imports until the 1989 import ban under then-President George H.W. Bush. At that time he directed the ATF to redefine the 'sporting purpose' clause of the Gun Control Act of 1968 to limit 'military style' semi automatic weapons. This was a redefinition of an existing law, no new law was created, until Congress in 1990 passed a bill that prohibited reassembling imported weapons into identical versions after import (the 922R compliance section). During the early 1990s AKs and SKS rifles were still being imported with various parts removed (bayonet lugs, threaded muzzles, etc) to comply as being 'post ban weapons'. The vast majority of American movie armories AKs came from this time span. During the Clinton Administration a near total ban was enacted on the import of all firearms from China, except a very small selection of historical style firearms (double barreled shotguns, pump action shotguns, manually operated rifles, etc). This ban was eased initially during the George W. Bush Administration, but then re-instituted in 2005 after Norinco was caught trying to import weapons that were not approved for the US Market. 
Most fixed-stock Type 56 rifles have an under-folding spike bayonet, nicknamed "pig sticker"; this rifle is often seen in movies about the Vietnam War, and is correct for NVA throughout most of the conflict. Quite a few of the Type 56s seen in American movies also have AKM-style slant compensators fitted; this was a common feature on semi-auto Type 56s exported to the U.S., but not the full-auto military model.
The "M22" is an early export version of the Type 56 produced and exported up to the mid-1960s, featuring no factory markings on the receiver and an "M22" code in their place instead. It was specifically created to export the Type 56 while minimizing its connections to China, and several other Chinese export firearms were "sanitized" this way; these include the "M7" for the Type 56 RPG, the "M20" for the Type 54 pistol, and the "M21" for the Type 56 carbine. The "M22" was exported in large numbers to Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and "M22" Type 56s in the United States are usually war trophies from the Vietnam War.
In the United States, other import names used for the Type 56 include "56S", "AK47S", or "AKS47".
Export Type 56 models usually have selector markings marked using Latin alphabet, with L (pinyin acronym for 連, lián, meaning "continuous [fire]") for full-auto and D (pinyin acronym for 單, dān, meaning "single [fire]") for semi-auto.

==Poly Technologies AKS-762 "Galil Side-Folder"==
The AKS-762 is a series of civilian semi-automatic Type 56s exported by Chinese company Poly Technologies Inc. They were some of the first AKs to have been imported into the United States, alongside Egyptian Maadis.
The AKS-762 came in a variety of configurations, including ones identical to military Type 56 setups. One visually distinct variant among them features a basic side-folding stock similar to the Type 56-2 but also the Galil, leading to the nickname "Galil Side-Folder".
In terms of manufacturing, Poly Technologies rifles were manufactured by Factory 416 in Shandong and Factory 386 in Fujian.

==MAK-90==
"Post-ban" version of the Type 56, made for import for use as a civilian sporting rifle. As such, the MAK-1990 was manufactured in semi-automatic mode only, the rear sight was ground down and the bayonet lugs were ground off. Most rifles are fitted with a 'thumbhole' stock and were manufactured with both milled and stamped receivers. Originally, these rifles were sold for around $180 and were looked down on as "cheap" rifles, but have since been regarded as fine rifles and have gone up in price greatly.

==TUL-1==
The TUL-1 (Short for "Tự Lực" - self-reliance) is a North Vietnamese weapon based on the Type 56, albeit designed to fit the role of the RPK which also resemble, as the original RPKs couldn't be sent by the Soviet Union due political and covert reasons. The guns were however sometimes assembled from parts of AKMs or similar rifles so a standard design wasn't set. 
The main differences with the RPK include the receiver, the dust cover and the muzzle. Production ended in 1974, after Vietnam started producing the RPK under license. The TUL-1 remains in use in present day, being still issued to the Vietnam People's Army.

=Type 84 (5.56x45mm)=
==Type 84S==
thumb|right|500px|Type 84S - 5.56x45mm
The Type 84 is a 5.56x45mm /.223 Remington variant of the Type 56 manufactured entirely for export. The rifles were originally developed as semi-automatic only civilian rifles for the United States market, under the name Type 84S, but small numbers of full-auto military versions were developed later for export to other countries. Other export names include "AKS-223" and "AKS-556".
The Type 84 has six primary variants, each of which has their own "S"-suffixed civilian semi-auto variants:
* Type 84: Standard variant with fixed stock
* Type 84-1: Variant with under-folding stock
* Type 84-2: Variant with side-folding stock
* Type 84-3: Variant with fixed stock and black synthetic furniture
* Type 84-4: Variant with under-folding stock and black synthetic furniture
* Type 84-5: Variant with side-folding stock and black synthetic furniture
The Type 84 was exported and sold with an AK birdcage flash hider and had a deep polished factory blue. It is often seen impersonating the AK-74 in movies and TV shows.
The United States banned the Type 84 and its variants by name in the 1989 Import Ban. They were thus mostly exported to Canada and Australia, and as a result, appeared in television shows or movies that were filmed in those countries.
