You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Type 67''' is a [[general-purpose machine gun]], chambered in [[7.62×54mmR]] formerly used by the  [[People's Liberation Army]].<ref name="AR67">((Cite web|url=https://armamentresearch.com/chinese-type-67-gpmgs-in-syria-yemen/|title=Chinese Type 67 GPMGS in Syria & Yemen - Armament Research Services (ARES)|date=17 March 2016))</ref>

==History==
The Type 67 machine gun was developed as a lightweight replacement for the Type 53 ([[SG-43 Goryunov|SG43]]) and Type 57 ([[SG-43 Goryunov|SGM]]) medium 7.62&nbsp;mm machine guns in 1959.<ref name="MF">((Cite web|url=http://modernfirearms.net/en/machineguns/china-machineguns/tip-67-7-62mm-eng/|title = Type 67 GPMG|date = 10 November 2010))</ref> The first tests for the Type 67 started in 1963.<ref name="MF"/> Research on the weapon was led by Dr. Duo Ying Jian from the Beijing Industrial Technology Academy.<ref name="GMT67">((Cite web|url=http://www.globalmil.com/military/army/china/infantry/2017/0219/404.html|title=中国67式7.62毫米通用机枪_Type 67 7.62mm General Purpose Machinegun_GlobalMil-环球防务网))</ref> After Soviet-Chinese relations [[Sino-Soviet split|began to break down]], there were concerns that further technological assistance would not be rendered, including supplying them with Soviet-made PKMs.<ref name="GMT67"/>

The first combat use of the Type 67 was with Mujahideen forces fighting in Afghanistan fighting against pro-Soviet forces in 1980.<ref name="MF"/> These found their way through smuggling in Pakistani soil.<ref name="MF"/> In the Syrian Civil War, the Type 67 is found in use with Syrian opposition forces fighting against government forces from 2015.<ref name="AR67"/> It is suggested these were likely captured from Syrian troops.<ref name="AR67"/> It has also been used in the Yemeni Civil War against the Houthis.<ref name="AR67"/>

==Design history==
According to a [[United States Army Materiel Command]] analysis, the Type 67 uses the [[Degtyaryov machine gun|DP]] trigger mechanism, the quick-change barrel of the [[SG-43 Goryunov|SG-43]], a gas regulator similar to the [[RPD machine gun|RPD]], the [[ZB vz. 30]] bolt mechanism, and a modified [[Maxim gun|Maxim]]-type feed mechanism.<ref>[http://www.virginia1774.org/DIA-ST-HB-07-03-74.pdf Small Arms Identification and Operation Guide—Eurasian Communist Countries] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304090738/http://www.virginia1774.org/DIA-ST-HB-07-03-74.pdf |date=2016-03-04 )), [[Defense Intelligence Agency]]/[[United States Army Materiel Command]] ST-HB-07-03-74, p. 264</ref>

The furniture was made in wood with the integral non-detachable bipod attached to a gas tube.<ref name="SADJ">((Cite web|url=http://www.sadefensejournal.com/wp/indigenous-machine-guns-of-china/|title = Indigenous Machine Guns of China – Small Arms Defense Journal))</ref> For using the Type 67 at long range, a tripod can be used when needed.<ref name="SADJ"/> The Type 67 was initially supposed to be used as a [[medium machine gun]] (exclusively with a tripod), but Chinese engineers studied a captured M60 GPMG from American-led military forces in the Vietnam War.<ref name="GMT67"/> Further design revisions were made where the bipod was made standard to be used.<ref name="GMT67"/>

Since 1967, the Type 67 has gone through two model modifications and improvements, with the newer models designated '''Type 67-1''' and '''Type 67-2'''.<ref name ='Syria Yemen'/>

===Variants===

* Type 67-1: This has a non-fluted barrel with the bipod clamped to the barrel below the front. This can be removed.<ref name="SADJ"/> Furniture is made from plastic.<ref name="SADJ"/>
* Type 67-2: Uses the same barrel, but lighter.<ref name="SADJ"/> Tripod is used instead of a bipod, made from stamped steel instead of steel tubing.<ref name="SADJ"/> The gunner can attach a telescopic or night sight.<ref name="SADJ"/> On late production models, the AA sight base is removed.<ref name="SADJ"/>
