  The 5.8×21mm DAP is a Chinese armor-piercing cartridge for handguns and submachine guns.
  
  ## Description
  
  The cartridge was designed for replacements of 7.62×25mm Tokarev-chambered small arms for the People's Liberation Army that would offer a wound as large as a standard 9×19mm Parabellum round. This round is offered in both a standard, and subsonic version. Both the QSZ-92 service pistol and the QCW-05 submachine gun are produced in this caliber as well as 9×19mm Parabellum.
