Light enough to be carried in one hand

That’s not exactly a detailed answer. Most MGs in the light and medium class can be carried or posed like this unloaded. If you add a full belt of ammo that often takes the weight doubles yet it’s still in the range for Rambo posing in photos.

More close-up shots of the export assault rifle family.

I just realized. They didn't show any 5.56 or 5.45 versions of the CS/LR17.

Does anyone remember this?

I don’t think they have ever shown a 5.45mm. I mean the most popular calibers of the world are 7.62x39mm in Asia, Africa and Europe. 5.56x45mm in the Americas, Europe and Asia. 5.45x39mm is pretty limited in those who retained it and very much linked to Russia. If you are a state looking to adopt a new rifle in 5.45 you are probably buying AK200/205.

So, there are 4 variants of the CS/LS7:

CS/LS7A: Has a fixed/foldable rigid stock that looks reminiscient to the qbz-191.

CS/LS7B: Has an fixed/foldable retractable stock that reminds of the new AK-19 stock.

CS/LS7C: Has an MP5A3 style retractable stock.

CS/LS7D: Their own MP5K.

Here's a rather lengthy 3-minute video on almost all the new small arms weapons for export. Be sure to set the quality to its highest as auto quality sucks.

If the PLA really is replacing 7.62x54R with 7.62x51 DJP-201 ammo, my thinking is that the pressure load of the DJP-201 would more closely match 308 Winchester pressure than the regular NATO standard to better match newer rounds such as .338 Norma for long range shooting.

The PLA has previously showed in a museum about their new weapons, three bolt action rifles, one in 7.62x51, other in .50 BMG or 12.7, and the other in 8.6

8.6 is .338 in another denomination. BTW, one way to tell the two machine guns apart, is that the GPMG has an beefier looking stock end.
