• Own a Type 56 for revolutionary defense, since that's what Chairman Mao intended

    Four revisionists break into my commune

    "What the Gui?" As I grab my Mao cap and Simonov rifle

    Blow a hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot.

    Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's a Nambu that's been stored in a drainage ditch for 30 years and bounces off the neighbors ox

    I have to resort to the satchel charge at the top of the stairs filled with high explosive

    "TONGZHIMEN HAO!" the explosion shreds two men in the blast, the shockwave and shrapnel destroys the village mango shrine

    Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified counterrevolutionary because the entire platoon only got issued three bullets

    He Bleeds out waiting on the cadres to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up

    Just as Chairman Mao intended.

    It funny because the PLA call both their AK and CKC variants Type56, so it really confusing and work in this context.

    You see one is type 56 SMG one is type 56 rifle. Just like how US had M2 tank and M2 hmg in service at the same time

    Tongzhimen hao might be the funniest unintentional translation error possible.

    Or you just invoke the spirit of Zhao Deng-Yu and go all out Dadao as if it were Xifengkou pass all over again.

    Just as Chairman Mao intended.

  • In fairness, the XM7 is the first U.S. Army service rifle with no bayonet lug.

    This is a disgrace, how will the yanks commit to a bayonet charge now?

    By wiring sabers to the muzzles of tank guns, obviously

    Burn them with hot suppressors. The suppressor is the reason there's no bayonet.

    I think that's because it's designed to be used as a two-handed club.

  • Funnily enough, in Chinese, guns are called "qiang," the same word and character used for "spear," so clearly every gun should also be a spear!

    I still love the literal translation for a bayonet being "stabby knife"

    TBH, first chinese guns were were spears with added shot load. It's not the gun with added spear, it's always a spear which can ruin somebody else day at the extended rage!

    Is that why I keep seeing video the Emperor type characters riding four-wheel bike and duel wielding smg while vibing like he on fentanyl.

  • Type 80 my beloved

    Utterly useless and doctrinally obsolete upon introduction

    But we do love a wonderful failure

    LOOK at the knife stock! It's truly innovative. Not good, or useful, but innovative.

  • What kind of pistol is at upper left picture? Looks like somebody in PRC tried to modernize C96 (which was popular in China) with improved ergonomics, double action trigger and box magazine.so cursed so I want one!

    iirc that's the ill-fated Type 80

  • I mean, having a knife on the end of your rifle does seem kind of useful...

  • the most important thing with military weapons is they gotta look badass, and you can easily increase how badass something looks by adding a knife to it

  • I’m pretty sure that the type-63 was the last integrated bayonet, no?
