This is probably my favorite gun for many reasons, the main being its brutal power and the fact no personal armor made can resist the round. A little more accurate than an AK with a bit more muzzle pressure, the Norinco-56 came stock with a chrome lined screw-on barrel and a great swing out bayonet that can also be stabbed into the ground to use as a monopod. The wound the bayonet makes is triangular and is not repaired very easily and bleeds bad. The mags are a bit more of a trick to change, but that shouldn't slow you down much. They make stock ten round internal mags, 20 rounders, 30 rounders, 40 rounders and my fav- the 75 round drum. Keep in mind in a firefight, every second that goes by seems like an eternity. God help me, last thing I want to do is duck behind some flimsy car while someone like me sits up there unseen and keeps...on...shooting...and shooting...
And that's exactly what it's like. Seems like those banana clips take forever to run dry, effective range is better than 100 yards if you know how to sight it in. Brick walls are no cover from that round, neither is a car or the latest helmets. Matter of fact the best NATO helmets to date don't even act like they are there, the bullet will go in one side and out the other cleanly. I don't know if I'd bury my Norinco in sand for five months, dig it up and try to fire it, but this carbine, if taken care of, will function for you flawlessly in almost any conditions. They are real simple to break down and clean, have an internal cleaning kit and can even be modded with recoil dampeners and scopes if you want to get custom with it.
I have to say though, try and stay away from the aftermarket furniture. I have seen it melt and catch fire, whereas wood you can just put out.
