	Chinese Type 56 Assault Rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The rifle exists in three variants; Type 56 (with fixed stock), Type 56-1 (with under-folding stock) and Type 56-2 (sideways folding stock).
		It's easy to confuse this rifle with the Chinese Type 56 Carbine because of the name, but they are two very different rifles and are based on two different designs.
		This discrepancy is due to the fact that the official designation of the "Type 56 Assault Rifle" in Chinese is "Type 56 submachine gun", so a squad would have both type 56 rifles and type 56 submachine guns together.

		The Type 56 rifle was regarded as a very capable weapon in the ages of the "People's War".

		Known as the Type 56 to the Chinese, it is characterized by an explosive popping sound.
		Assault Rifle: Military rifles using a short cartridge capable of single shot or automatic fire, developed from a belief that most engagements took place under 400 yards and by reducing the cartridge case and propellant, performance would still be accurate and recoil force more controllable.
		The short size of the assault rifle, and its ability to fire at up to 800 rounds per minute has led to it being adopted by various forces as a replacement for the submachine gun, a trend likely to continue in the near future.

		Their analysis shows that rhetoric and legislation targeting this particular type of gun (and a virtually indefinable type at that) is but the crime-busting politician's equivalent of the political correctness vogue among liberal academics -- a soothing substitute for real distinctions and hard decisions.
		The most common type of "assault weapon" legislation, however, is neither the ban-by-name nor the generic method, but rather a mixture of the two.
		If producers of assault rifles had advertised their effects as depicted by the media, they would be liable to prosecution under truth-in-advertising laws.{50} 5.

		It was too early for the assault rifle to develop...there was no tactical role prepared for it until the world urbanized, and an observer could fairly say most military recruits had never handled a firearm.
		SKS or the Chinese Type 56-1 is analogous to the American M1 Carbine, and is not a true assault rifle.
		Assault rifles are probably the least "evil" of all firearms, at least in their semiautomatic configuration, for they attract attention all out of proportion to their real firepower.

	Chinese Type 56 Rifle, native built SKS
		The Chinese didn't begin manufacturing their version of the SKS until 1956, as seen from the Type designation, but they purchased quantities of the Russian original after the first year of the Korean War to re-arm their armies in more consistent and logistically supportable manner.
		Subsequently, the Chinese have manufactured several varieties of the original SKS, including selective-fire models, short-barreled "paratrooper" models, and models which use the detachable magazine of the later AK-47 assault rifle.
		The earlier type is 9" in length and resembles a knife blade.

		The rifle was chambered for the then-new 7.62x39mm M1943 round, an intermediate cartridge which went on to become a standard for the subsequent AK-pattern rifles.
		It is not however a modern assault rifle in the most widely-accepted use of the term, as it is incapable of fully-automatic fire.
		An earlier semi-automatic rifle was hindered by official insistence on using the powerful 7.62x54mmR round, which was at that point standard amongst Russian rifles; unfortunately, as had been found with Fedor Tokarev's SVT, the round's excessive power was detrimental to reliable, rapid function of a semi-automatic rifle.

		Assault weapons are certain types of semiautomatic weapons that require depressing the trigger to release each bullet.
		A waiting period for purchasing assault weapons, for example, would ensure a "cooling off period" so as to prevent an individual from using the weapon in the heat of anger and to allow gun dealers to run a background check to determine if the purchaser has a criminal record or a history of psychiatric problems.
		Assault weapon legislation is not perfect, nor is it "politically safe," but increasing public security and protecting lives should outweigh the reluctance of some politicians to battle the N.R.A. At the very least, these legislators must examine the need for and potential benefits of assault weapon laws.

		Many TYPE 56 System weapons still kept in stocks were so re-arsenaled, equipping them with a shorter barrel and handguard in plastic, a side-folding stock, and no bayonet, resulting in a Chinese version of the AKSU that is in service with the Chinese Navy Raiders and certain police units.

		The Chinese Type-54 could be distinguished from the Soviet TT33 by the serrations on the slide and by the Chinese ideograms on the pistol grip (the Soviet weapon had a star in the center of the pistol grip).

		This admission is potentially very serious, particularly if Kerry imported a war trophy from Vietnam (which is implied by his answer alluding to the "reminder" aspect of the rifle and the fact that he uses the phrase "assault rifle" rather than the neogolism "assault weapon").
		There are at least two possibilities of which "assault rifle" Kerry owns: either an SKS or what the Chinese called the Type 56, which is their copy of the AK-47.
		If the weapon were a machine-gun--that is the Type 56 Kalashnikov--it would have to have been legally registered with the ATF immediately in 1969 under the 1934 National Firearms Act.

		This round was intended to be a compromise between the pistols rounds fired from submachine gun, which were controllable but lacked power, and the rifle cartridges fired from heavier machine guns, which were either too heavy to fire while on the move or, if lightened, uncontrollable during automatic fire.
		The conventional wisdom is that the Nazi's originated the concept of an assault rifle with their MP44 machine-pistol design, (which fired the 7.92x33 "8mm Kurz" round) and the Soviets copied them, but this is disputed by Ezell -- both sides may have developed such weapons concurrently.
		All rifles imported after the 1989 semi-auto import ban are sold with 5-round magazines, no bayonet lug (and consequently no way to attach the cleaning rod to the rifle), and thumbhole stocks.

		Whilst the Chicom Type 56 was the predominant rifle, the weapon was referred to generically as the AK-47 irrespective of the country of origin.
		Almost as equally widespread as the AK-47 was the Soviet 7.62mm SKS carbine or Simonov, a semi-automatic rifle which was especially common amongst the regional and local VC forces.

		The Communist Chinese, apparently not anticipating the need to engage in the sort of massive, armored infantry conflicts envisaged for potential European conflicts, were especially enthusiastic about the SKS.
		These are readily identified by the presence of a selector switch on the right side of the rifle, forward of the trigger, and by a gas regulator knob extending from the forward part of the gas cylinder.
		As of 1980, PLA member Tang Wenlie was said to have developed an improved version of the Type 72 rifle utilizing fewer moving parts than its predecessors.

		Kerry did not own a Chinese assault rifle, as he was quoted as saying in Outdoor Life magazine, but a single-bolt-action military rifle, blaming aides who filled out the magazine's questionnaire on his behalf for the error.
		First of all, there was a Chinese "assault" rifle in use at that time, and it was known to be exported to North Vietnam.
		However, the line that the rifles were "originally manufactured in Russia more than 100 years ago" does lead in the direction your reader went, but the Chinese never used the M91/30 in any quantity I can discover.
