Type-74 LMG

3D Model

The Type 74 light machine gun is a gas operated, magazine fed, air cooled weapon, which fires from an open bolt. The gas system is located above the non-removable barrel, and consists of a gas block with a four-position gas regulator, a gas piston tube and a gas piston. Locking of the barrel is achieved by the laterally tilting bolt, apparently copied from the Soviet SGM machine gun. The cocking handle and ejection port are located on the right side of the stamped steel receiver, and fitted with separate dust covers.
