The QJY-201 (Chinese: 201式通用机枪; pinyin: Èr líng yāo shì tōngyòng jīqiāng),[1][2] is a Chinese general purpose machine gun designed and manufactured by Norinco for the People's Liberation Army. The weapon is publicly unveiled at Zhuhai Airshow in September 2021. The weapon is chambered with the DJP-201 7.62×51mm cartridge,[3][4] and features an unusual open-bolt, hybrid long stroke, short recoil operation.[5] The medium machinegun features weight reduction design, such as lightweight material for the body and detachable box magazine made of fabric, reducing the weight to less than 8 kg (17.6 lb) when empty.[6]
