Historical profile
Developed by Norinco's 208 Institute starting in the 2000s to provide Chinese special forces with a modern suppressed weapon in a proprietary caliber, alongside the Type-05 PDW.
Adopted in 2005 by the People's Armed Police, PLA special forces and counter-terrorism units, replacing the older silenced Type 64 and Type 85.
Shares over 80% of its components with the standard QCW-05 submachine gun and the QSW-06 pistol, simplifying logistics for Chinese special units.
