Re: Chinese military photos
Gun control is very very strict in China. You rarely see a gunman and most of them are using either very crude home made firearms or stole low power police pistols like the Type 54 or 64. Combine that with minimum training for the gun man (there is very few civilian gun ranges in China, and most of them are for shot guns) you get the idea...

Re: Chinese military photos
I thought the legs are such small targets and always moving fast. It would be so difficult to actually hit legs on a consistent basis, especially when the shooters are under heavy fire since the SWAT won't simply hold the shield and march forward (all the type 95's will be aimed at you and bullets raining down on you). That's why, in SWAT, they usually teach people to shoot the center of mass, the chest area. It is such a large target that it can be easily hit even when the guy is moving and dodging. And of course, no one can move their chest as fast as their legs.
So combining the benefit of increased mobility and the low probability of getting hit on the legs, the decision of using a small shield should be easy to be made. In fact, I don't remember seeing Western SWAT holding a full-body-length shield on an assault. I've only seen those full-body-shields been used in riot control.

In the link below there are photos of female PLAAF pilots. One question..If these women in the photos are indeed going to fly the aircraft why don't they have G-suits??
If someone would give me instructions on how to download from a flash player I will post many, many more PLA photos..Thanks!

Use irfanview. Its totaly free, and for me this is the best photo viewing program, with a lot of options.
After installation go to options menu and Capture/Screenshot or press simply the C button.
