| - The Type 56 assault rifle is the Chinese copy of the Kalashnikov AK-47 and AKM assault rifle, which has been manufactured since 1956. It was produced by State Factory 66 from 1956-73, then by Norinco from 1973 onwards.
- The Type 56 is a Chinese copy of the AK-47. The rifle has 3 variants; Type 56 (with fixed stock), Type 56-1 (with folding stock) and Type 56-2 (sideways folding stock). The Type 56 carbine is a copy of the SKS, but they are two very different rifles and are based on two different designs. It is still strange that the "Carbine" version is 15 cm longer than the "Assault rifle" version.
- The Type 56 assault rifle is the Chinese variant of the Russian designed and produced AK-47 and AKM assault rifles, The gun first began production in 1956 at State Factory 66 and continued so until 1973 when the responsibility of its manufacture was handed over to Norinco who continues to produce the rifle.
