The Norinco HP9-1, also known as the Norinco N870-14.00, is a short pump action shotgun made by Norinco of China.

Description

This 12 gauge smoothbore firearm has a 14-inch (36 cm) barrel and has a rust-resistant parkerized finish. Longer barreled versions (18" minimum) are also available for purchase in the US, where ownership of short barreled shotguns requires a $200 tax stamp. It is a close copy of the Remington 870, a widely distributed design no longer under patent protection, and most parts interchange freely. The perpetrator of the Dawson College shooting was armed with an HP9-1-14.00.

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.
