What’s special about the Chinese paratrooper’s 2-in-1 dagger?

The dagger is one of the must-have personal weapons of the militaries of all countries, and the old-fashioned bayonets such as the three-sided bayonet and the orthodox bayonet only have the function of stabbing and slashing; and daggers only have the function of cutting, sharpening and stabbing.Currently, the main trend of the world bayonet is also a stabbing dagger, which is also a big change in the design of the world bayonet. And today, introduce to readers a more special type of dagger, which is the “2 in 1” dagger, which is both a dagger and a pistol of Chinese paratroopers and special forces.Although a dagger is stronger than a bayonet, its blade is not as long as an ancient spear, but is well suited for close combat; especially with special forces. China began to develop a new type of dagger in the 1990s to equip special forceit’s a Type 91 (Type 91) dagger – gun.Full name of gun – dagger Type 91 is the “QSB91 7.62mm Type 91 4-barreled dagger – gun”, officially designed and completed in 1992. The gun consists of 5 parts: dagger, gun body, scope, trigger and a holster.The handle of the Type 91 dagger is the gun body; In the handle there are 4 barrels arranged symmetrically, can load and fire 4 rounds of 7.62mm pistol. Unlike the NRSJ dagger guns fitted to the Russian Army, the Chinese Type 91 barrel is forward facing; while the Russian NRSJ is facing backwards. Because the NRSJ dagger is pointed towards the user, when firing, there will be a recoil force that causes a decrease in accuracy when shooting, even a risk of safety, when the barrel is often turned to the user; but the dagger – the Chinese Type 91 gun does not have this problem at all. The gun uses a one-shot method, without automatic reloading. After the user pulls the trigger, under the action of the hammer spring, the hammer hits the fire needle, the fire needle hits the bullet’s fire grain to complete the firing process; After releasing the trigger, the flaming needle will automatically rise once more and enter the standby state. Different from the principle of the revolver, that is, following firing, the hammer and the needle are stationary, the magazine rotates. As for the Type-91, the magazine and the hammer are stationary, the flaming needle rotates following each shot. Surprisingly, this method of firing is very reliable. Another surprising thing is the barrel life of the gun – this dagger has a durability of up to 2,000 shots, and the bullets it fires are relatively high damage. According to testers, bullets fired from the Type 91 gun can penetrate a 120mm thick pine board at a distance of 10 meters.After the introduction of the Type 91 dagger-gun, it was mainly used by special forces of the People’s Liberation Army and special police officers of the public security force. Its main function is to gain more initiative in close combat, which can yield unexpected results. When not used in special missions or in one-on-one melee combat, the Type-91 can be used as a normal dagger with full functions such as cutting, slashing, stabbing. Because of its shape it was regarding the same size as a standard military dagger. Points to note when using guns – Type 91 daggers; First, the user needs to hold the gun firmly with one hand or two hands. When holding a gun, the wrist needs to have a firm posture, to eliminate the recoil generated following firing; Do not put your hands forward when shooting, avoid injury. Second, because the gun’s 4 barrels share the same aiming unit, the user must pay attention to the weak point of view and experience when using this application gun; to make sure the bullet can hit the target accurately.Third, due to the special shooting principle, the Type 91 cannot apply the same experience as ordinary pistols; especially since the force of the trigger is obviously greater than that of a normal pistol, it is necessary to bring the gun backwards to achieve a shooting effect. In addition, the gun requires regular maintenance and cleaning to ensure reliable operation of the components.The Type 91 gun – dagger was born, replacing the previously less successful Type 82-2 gun – dagger and becoming a powerful weapon of the Chinese Army’s special forces. It is reported that Chinese paratroopers have also been equipped with improved Type 91 dagger guns for a long time.
