Micro Uzi

When the three storms show up, one of the Chang Sings uses a Micro Uzi but it's no use. Since he fires only single shots it should be assumed he is armed with an Uzi pistol instead.

Assault Rifles

Type 56

Several Type 56 assault rifles are seen being used by Wing Kong gang members. They can be identified as Type 56s given the smooth receivers and unique hooded front sights, but feature AKM slant muzzle brakes as did most American Imported Chinese AKs. Also seen in the hands of Lo Pan's security men during the initial escape from his underground lair.
