The Norinco Type 86 is a Chinese-manufactured bullpup version of the [[AK-47]]. It was exported for civilian use and it was sold worldwide in hopes of cashing in on the 'bullpup market' that many expected to explode in the 1980s, however despite offerings like the [[Steyr AUG]], bullpup sales never took off.

It is a common misconception that bullpups were banned from import during George Herbert Walker Bush's tenure (as a result of the 1989 Stockton Schoolyard shooting).  Foreign made bullpups were actually prohibited by fiat by the ATF during President Ronald Reagan's term.  During the middle of the 1980s, BATF started prohibiting the import of bullpup designed firearms as not suitable for sporting purposes (this was done BEFORE the famous re-interpretation of the Sporting Purpose Clause in 1989 as a result of the Stockton Schoolyard shooting).  The British offering of the SA-80 was the first bullpup banned from import but this was primarily due to the supposed 'ease' that which one could be converted to full auto (which is why there are next to none semi-auto SA-80s in the U.S.).  The ATF then banned the import of the Valmet M82 (which never sold well anyway) and the Steyr AUG in 1986 and the Norinco Type 86S in 1987 (well before the Stockton Schoolyard shooting).  By 1988, the only remaining foreign bullpup designed firearms were the ones which were already in the country.  Since the Norinco Type 86S came just before ATF slammed the door shut on foreign made bullpup designs, there are relatively few in this country.    Bushmaster began offering their domestically built (thus legal) M17S bullpup as a result of the increasing restrictions on foreign made bullpup firearms being written up by BATF (almost on a daily basis).  Later, in 1994, Norinco tried to offer a redesigned firearm to comply with the codified 1989 import ban (like Steyr did with their USR rifle), but then President Clinton brokered a trade agreement with China to prohibit them from selling any 'military style' weapons to the American Civilian shooter market.  The U.S. would sign favorable trade agreements with China if they agreed NOT to sell any firearms to the American gun owning public.

The Type 86S (Chinese: 86S式自动步枪 / 86S shì zìdòng bùqiāng / "Type 86S automatic rifle") is a Chinese semi-automatic bullpup rifle based on the AK-47. The rifle was exported by Norinco and was branded as a Norinco weapon, though its actual designers and manufacturers are unknown (Norinco themselves do not have manufacturing capabilities).

The Type 86S was rather clunky and did not exhibit fine fit or finish. It was exported for civilian use and it was sold worldwide in hopes of cashing in on the 'bullpup market' that many expected to explode in the 1980s, however despite offerings like the Steyr AUG, bullpup sales never took off.

One of the reasons why the Type 86S was not a big seller was that it was considered rather 'ugly' by many firearms enthusiasts in the 1980s. The barrel compensator was disparagingly called the 'fishlips" due to its unusual shape. There were two types of the Type 86S, featuring a straight and curved charging handle respectively.
