Historical profile
Developed in the 1960s as the first fully Chinese GPMG, it entered service in 1967 to replace earlier Soviet-derived machine guns.
Revised in the Type 67-1 and Type 67-2 variants to reduce weight, simplify production and improve quick barrel change reliability.
Used by the PLA until the 2000s and still in service with reserve forces and many Chinese export customers in Africa and Asia.
