Compilation of Kachin Independence Army and recently-formed rebel groups using Type 56, 81, M320 clones, and captured weapons against the Myanmar junta (2022-2026)
KIA was founded in 1961; the other rebel groups were formed 2021 or later.
These M320 clones were made by the KIA themselves, and they are one of the very few non-Western groups to [clone the M320](https://www.reddit.com/r/ForgottenWeapons/comments/1ltszuc/more_photos_of_the_kachin_independence_armymade/) (not even China has a documented clone). Aside from this, the KIA rarely uses Western-type weapons in contrast to clones of Soviet/Chinese-designed small arms and ammo. The Type 56 clone does have a UBGL with similar looks to the M203.
