Event Timeline

Another comparison photo, just note both guns are US civilian spec, missing the "evil" third pin. Type 56 on top, Soviet "type 2" AK on bottom.

Also it's worth noting that in general the asset for Type 56 stands out a bit in quality from other weapons - the textures appear to either be of lower resolution, or with some sort of noise (possibly a by product of the dirt/scratches applied on it?), and the model itself has wonky proportions. Especially around the gas tube/gas block part, but it looks like the safety/selector lever is too long (with it's pin being too far back).
