The China Type 64 is an unusual Chinese silenced pistol, recognisable by its integral bulbous silencer. The breech slide can be locked closed to prevent ejection of the spent case - operating in single-shot mode, or can be unlocked so that the pistol operates in a normal blowback self-loading (semi-automatic) manner. The China Type 64 is chambered for its own 7.65 mm rimless cartridge and takes a nine round magazine. The Type 64 was produced solely as an assassination weapon and has been in service since 1964. The China Type 64 has a 124 mm long barrel and is fitted with a blade foresight and a notch rearsight. It has an effective range of 35 metres and a muzzle velocity of 274 metres per second.
