Makarov PM
The Makarov PM is seen in the hands of Black Communist Rebellion members. It is possible that they might be standing-in for Norinco Type 59 pistols, as the BCR is said to have sourced most of their weapons from China in this universe's alternate history.

Stechkin APS
The Stechkin APS is seen used in a drive-by assassination and later recovered as evidence. Curiously, Captain Iijima identifies it as a "Chinese Type 54" which could be a misidentification of the real-life Norinco Type 54 or since this is an alternate timeline, it could actually be an in-universe designation. In reality, there are no known Chinese copies of the APS pistol, licensed or otherwise.

Assault Rifles
Norinco Type 56/-1

Chief Inspector Kido (Joel de la Fuente ) is seen using one with fixed stock after commandeering it from a resistance member. The existence of the Avtomat Kalashnikova-series of rifles is explained by them acquiring Chinese copies smuggled overseas, with the implication that Kalashnikov rifles are somehow still in full production despite the defeat of the USSR in the current alternate universe.

Norinco Type 84S-1
Fighters from the BCR and later, the American Resistance are seen using Norinco Type 84S -1 assault rifles with underfolding stocks as their main service rifle. While the characters in-universe remark about their origin being from China is correct, the appearance of these rifles is still highly anachronistic as the 84S was manufactured in the 80s for export purposes. Presumably, they were used as an AK-type stand-in since it was easier to stock on 5.56mm blanks.
