How bad is the 77-type pistol? It's not just "old"—it's "notoriously bad." Many may think it's just an outdated model, but the 77-type is infamous for its flaws. It wasn’t created by professional designers but by a worker, Wang Jiageng, at the Jinan Military District’s maintenance workshop during his spare time. In 1977, with help from the manufacturer and military, it was finalized as the 77-type pistol for use by senior military officers. This might sound inspiring, but the problem lies in this: military weapons need systematic engineering design, strict reliability tests, and constant improvements.
