The 5.8×21mm DAP Type 92 (Mandarin: 手枪弹 Shǒuqiāng Dàn “General Pistol Cartridge, Model of 1992”) is a Chinese armor-piercing PDW cartridge for handguns and submachine guns.
The cartridge was designed to replace the 7.62×25mm Tokarev-chambered small arms for the People's Liberation Army, while still offering a wound as large as a standard 9×19mm Parabellum round.
[3] This round is offered in both a standard and subsonic version.
[1] Both the QSZ-92 service pistol and the QCW-05 submachine gun are produced in this caliber as well as 9×19mm Parabellum.
