Gigwanchong 1 light machine gun

The Gigwanchong 1 is a fully-automatic, gas-operated general-purpose light machine gun. Firing the abundant 5.56×45mm round, the Gigwanchong 1 was developed by the Samgag corporation for the Jeobseon Self-Defence Army to replace license-built Yamataian Wa-01 machine guns in 2420. It is also in limited service with the Yamatai Imperial Army.

Colloquially known as the Gi-Hana, the Gigwanchong 1 is rugged and reliable, designed to withstand harsh conditions in its squad-support role. It is also cheap to produce and uses a variety of lightweight alloys and polymers in its construction.

Overview
The standard Gigwanchong 1 weighs 4.26 kilograms empty. A traditionally laid-out machine gun design, the Gigwanchong 1 is equipped with a quick-change barrel, a vented fore-grip, a belt-feeding mechanism, provisions for the use of an ammunition pouch (compared to a heavier box), and a rate of fire of approximately 650 RPM.

Other standard features include an ammunition counter and a highly stiff and heat resistant barrel achieved with the use of fluting and specialized alloys. The weapon's lighter weight compared to the Wa-01 has also been noted.

In addition to standard iron sights, the Gigwanchong 1 can also mount modern optical and electronic sights, including advanced computerised target acquisition and tracking sights.
