Notes: This Type 64 is a North Korean assassin’s pistol. It is a highly modified Browning M-1900 with an easily fitted silencer and a slower round. The silencer can be removed and the weapon fired without it, but this is not normally done, more because the weapon is made for silenced fire rather than an inability of the pistol to do so. This weapon should not be confused with the Chinese silenced pistol of the same name.

Twilight 2000 Notes: By 2001, These weapons were being used all over the Korean peninsula, by both sides; in addition, some of them were found in China, Russia, and even as far south as Vietnam and as far east as Alaska.

Merc 2000 Notes: These weapons were increasingly found in the hands of terrorists and non-North Korean assassins.

Notes: This standard North Korean sidearm is a modified TT-33 Tokarev. Externally, the differences between the Type 68 and a Tokarev are merely cosmetic, but internally, the differences are considerable. The normal link system used to lower and raise the barrel ribs, has been replaced by cheaper and more reliable cams; the magazine catch has been moved to the heel of the grip; the firing pin is retained by a plate instead of a cross pin; and the slide stop has been replaced by a very robust catch instead of the fragile clip of the Tokarev. In fact, the Type 68 is internally more akin to the Browning Hi-Power than the Tokarev.
