PLA Small arms

They are on a reconnaissance mission.
I mean at least we're seeing pics of it again, the QCW-05 seems to have disappeared for a while and it didn't seem to even be making it into local police forces. It is strange, to see an smg on such open territory like this, but I imagine it has something to do with old doctrine from the Vietnam war days. Back then no suppressors for AK's and suppressed SMG's were more commonly seen for recon troops.

Note to moderation team this post should be here.
It’s probably still 5.8. Although that is an established trend The PLA seems to have elected to a universal cartridge model for infantry. If they did derive a machine gun like that it would probably be for export.

Promotional video for an unspecified Chinese 12.7 mm rotary machine gun, possibly the CS/LM5.
Why should "style" even matter? Seems pretty stupid and narrow minded to limit knowledge and options like that.
Evans Carlson successfully applied what he learned from the 8th Route Army to his Marine Raiders. Likewise, the PLA has benefited from recent reforms influenced by US doctrine.
