Chinese Type 95 (QBZ95) 5.8x42mm Assault Rifle

The bullpup Type 95 (QBZ95) 5.8x42mm Assault Rifle is operational with the People's Liberation Army, Chinese People's Armed Police, Chinese para-military police and People's Liberation Army Special Operations Forces.


The bullpup Type 95 (QBZ95) uses 5.8x42mm round which according to the Chinese sources has outperformed the both the NATO's 5.56x45mm and Russian 5.45x39mm rounds in penetration , flatter trajectory, velocity and energy downrange.

too big for tiny chinese guy..make smaller guns that are practical...also do not imitate or copy. Design your own systems.

Above post is pretty irrelevant to what this is intended for. I'm pretty that's what the US Marines will be saying when they fight. From what i've seen here, I'm pretty convinced by China's military. Their use of a round smaller than 7.62mm is likely to have the same effect that one did on the AK. Smaller projectile = travels faster and further, with possibly improved armour penetration.

Their training, however, is unlikely to match that of US forces. Consider how long America has been doing it.

China has prove it's worthy on the battle field against bigger and better arm nations. Korea and v. It's not the guns it's who's at the trigger.

The trouble with US is its persistent belief that it is the centre of universe, and shall remain so. With its mighty propaganda machines and Hollywood-styled make beliefs, besides its technological head start, it continue to exert hegemonic masculinity over the rest of the word.

Defeats in the hands of the impoverished Chinese in the Korean and Vietnam wars were spun to appear like victories. To make up for the dented egos, they trained their overwhelming technological fire power on perceived and imaginary foes who fought and fight with literally "bows and arrows"!

However one spun, the mighty US army and its allies lost the both wars to the impoverished, undernourished, under equipped and physically "smaller" Chinese. Then the technological odds were 9:1 in US's favor. Today, it may still be 7:3 in US's favor. But my advice: Don't send Rambo!

anonymous the us marines are a bunch of fucking idiots that's why they lost their strategy was horrible. in war china will kick Americas ass, since they have a much large production industry which will make the Chinese have a larger amount of weapons out competing the us and having a larger army with a super power as its ally and north Korea with lots of nukes and weapons. US had some small allies and there large allies have economies close to collapsing. So anonmyous stop posting shit.

The Chinese military tactics are quite basic its all was strict to the letter orders on how to act to a situation with no deviation,
american tactics are do what you think is best for the situation at hand adapt and over come ect but when it comes to on the ground experience america has 60 years of modern combat experience but with china they have seen but not experienced
personally ageist 3 million PLA id take 1 million us army. (and 200 thousand British)

On topic after firing the QBZ-95 not a bad wee weapon ill still take an SA80a2

i agree with all above...the americans can't even get into africa without getting their asses kicked...lol...PITY THE FOOL

In the past 30 years what modern combat has Chain had?

Nothing

The US has been involved in the largest ground combat battles in 20th century operations in Deseret Storm 1 and lets not forget Deseret Storm 2...

Again what combat prove troops or equipment do they have?

Yes China could out man the use 4 to 1 in soldiers but as we seen this did not help the Iraqis..
