The W85, also designated the QJC-88 when vehicle-mounted, is a gas-operated heavy machine gun designed in the People's Republic of China, firing the Soviet-designed 12.7 by 108 millimeter round. The W85 was never adopted into People's Liberation Army service in its original configuration, and was accepted only in its vehicle-mounted QJC-88 form.
