The Norinco HP9-1, also known as the Norinco N870-14.00, is a short pump action shotgun made by Norinco of China. This 12 gauge smoothbore firearm has a 14 inch (36 cm) barrel and has a rust-resistant parkerized finish. It is a close copy of the Remington 870, a widely-distributed design no longer under patent protection, and most parts interchange freely.
The weapon is now used by the People's Liberation Army as the standard shotgun.
In the United States, where Norinco products are specifically non-importable, this gun is imported and sold under the names Norinco Hawk 982 and Interstate Hawk 982.
