Is there any report of its performance in real firefights or engagements? Additionally, I want to know if Chinese SWAT has armor piercing rounds for this gun.
7.62x25 by itself can punch through aramid vests, but most likely they will only be firing basic steel core FMJ since using up surplus shit is the point

Wait, Type 79 is surplus shit? What about the QCQ-171? That ain't surplus, right?

Do you think the SWAT uses better munitions for their new guns?

Ironically the PAP didn't like the 7.62x25 for hostage situations because it over penetrates flesh easily and might hit civilians in the area. Remember that most cases of armed criminals in China only have knives with the occasional gun in the past, with no body armour so over penetration is a real concern. They do like the accuracy of the Type 79 though, so if anything, they are definitely not sourcing or developing AP rounds.
