The Type 82 is a copy of the FB PM-63, created after the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) captured PM-63s from Vietnamese vehicle crews during the Sino-Vietnamese War. It was not adopted by the PLA themselves, but used by the Chinese People's Armed Police, and later by the regular police force. The two weapons are practically identical, the only difference is an extra sling point on the receiver's right side. With the addition of the sling point, the Type 82 was intended as a frontline infantry weapon as opposed to the original PM-63, which was designed for vehicle crews.

It should be noted that the Type 82 was largely based on the pre-1975 variant of the captured PM-63. This means it retains a shorter spring, tungsten rate reducer, no travel stops, and atrocious mechanism: the upper slide will move backward after firing and, if the operator is not careful, it will hit their eye. This may occur even if the stock is retracted, which is the reason why many operators prefer to use it one-handed, to minimise the risk of being hit by the upper slide.

* Type 82 is a copy of FB PM-63.

** While both Type 82 and PM-63 are similar, the only difference is an extra sling point on the receiver's right side. With an addition of the sling point, Type 82 was intended as a frontline infantry weapon as opposed to the original PM-63 which was designed for vehicle crew.

** It should be noted that Type 82 was largely based on the pre-1975 variant of the captured PM-63. This means it retains a shorter spring, tungsten rate reducer, and no travel stops.

* Type 82, or originally PM-63 known has an atrocious mechanism:

** The upper slide will move backward after firing and if the operator is not careful enough, the upper slide will hit the operator's eye. This case sometimes still occurs despite the stock being retracted, therefore many operators prefer to use one-handed, to minimise the risk of being hit by the upper slide.
