Type 63 assault rifle was the first domestically designed and mass produced assault rifle of Peoples republic of China. It was designed following significant ideological disagreements between PRC and USSR during 1960s, so China decided to develop its own small arms,based on the earlier licensed designs. As its name “Type 63 rifle” implies, was initially adopted by PLA in 1963. It is interesting development because it represents a mix of features taken from other designs, mostly from the Type 56 assault rifle (Kalashnikov AK) and the Type 56 carbine (Simonov SKS). It is believed that Chinese factories produced well over 1 million of Type 63 rifles before a more advanced design, the Type 81 assault rifle, was adopted to replace it.
