The Norinco QLZ-87 (轻兵器 榴弹发射器 自动 or roughly "Qing bing qi, Liu-dan Fa-she-qi, Zi-dong," "Small Arms, Grenade Launcher, Automatic" (the Armament Research Services brief on the QLZ-87 uses 榴蛋 instead of 榴弹, which is a homophone and internet slang for grenade, and has the character "egg" instead of "munition") and its derivative, the QLB-06, are a pair of unusual repeating grenade launchers developed by China due to dissatisfaction with AGS-17 clones.
