QJS-161

The QJS-161, also known as the Type 16 paratrooper machine gun (), is a Chinese light machine gun designed and manufactured by Norinco for the People's Liberation Army. 
Design and development.
The QJS-161 features two types of barrel varied in length, presumably for different requirements from the PLA Ground Force and the PLA Airborne Corps. As an open-bolt machine gun, the QJS-161 uses 5.8x42mm ammunition that can feed either from a disintegrating belt in fabric container or a standard Chinese 5.8x42mm box magazine, loaded into the feed port on the left side of the weapon, and the non-reciprocating charging handle is located on its right. A picatinny rail is located behind the short dust cover above the feeding port. A standard 30-round magazine can be inserted vertically into the magazine well at the bottom of the weapon.
