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