The Norinco Type 80 / 80式衝鋒手槍 is a close-combat machine pistol that was used in China in the 1980s by the People's Liberation Army of China. It was developed by Norinco in the 1970s, influenced by the design of the German M712 Schnellfeuer.
The Type 80 can be used in either single-shot mode or fully automatic fire mode; however, the barrel overheats after thirty rounds of sustained automatic fire.
