The Type 79 (Chinese: 1979年式衝鋒槍; pinyin: 1979 Niánshì Chōngfēng Qiāng; lit. '1979 Year Type Submachine Gun')[1] but more commonly known as (Chinese: 79式衝鋒槍; pinyin: 79 Shì Chōngfēng Qiāng; lit. '79 Type Submachine Gun') is the first generation indigenous submachine gun made in China. This development came in coincidence after the start of the Sino-Soviet split.[2]

The submachine gun was certificated in 1979 and entered mass production in 1983.[3]
