No, it's just a standard laboratory for weapon testing. Those fans are used to simulate high speed cross wind.

I think those are intended to be body armor.

I am not a purest, When I see The slogan "Glock Perfection" I laugh. lets face it nothing is ever perfect. And it's a American Tradition to "Hot Rod" to take something that is stock and rebuild it to be uniquely ours.
The M1911 is over one hundred years old. The fact that is's more popular then ever is testament to John M Browning building a really good gun but Even Browning modified the design to create the M1911A1. So when I see modifications like polymer frames I just see more proof that Browning was well ahead of his time. Polymer framed pistols are nothing new the HK VP70 the worlds first Polymer framed pistol dates back to 1970, Polymer framed .45ACP hand guns are nothing new. Custom 1911 frames and slides in exotic materials like Titanium and Damascus Steel for years and polymer parts have been used in Race gun versions for over a decade So I don't see any technical issue nor any reason not to accept it. Now would I buy? maybe first i have to shake hands and see if i like.

Think the body armor isn't anything new, the PLA have exhibited their modern body armor a few years back, just that they hardly seen wearing their Level II and III body armor, mostly just webbing or tactical vest.
Also, the helmet doesn't seem to be "new", not enough detail in the image to tell it from the kind they're using now (not like the MICH helmet you can tell right away), the only addition is the NVG mount similar to the type use by the US forces.
But what interest me is the gatling...seems that they finally get their heads around to make proper machine guns, probably thanks to the increased availability of light vehicles, turning the PLA from "foot-mobiles" towards more "mechanized-mobiles".

Aim at the Canadian market, China introduces the newest export type-97; the T97NSR. According to oversea feedback, Canadian users basically are satisfied with the modification but users also express that there are some drawback of the T97NSR too. For example, the changing of the magazine, the safety button and the installation position of the optical aiming device is too high, ect.
IMO, without optical sight, this gun looks weird.

That rail kit is made by a Canadian company IIRC, and that's a superior alternative to the original design if you ask me. And sure thing it'd look weird without any sight, but you can say the same thing to may other modern rifles that also sports full length Picatinny rail as well, and all you need to do is to install a set of MBUS sight or EOTec holo sight or ACOG to rectify the "weirdness"...
