It baffles me how they haven't made qbz191 keymod kit yet, they are teasing just the handguard yet haven't shown anything else for almost a year or two.

Why bother?
QBZ191 is not a commercial product so no need to offer something to appeal to those Keymod diehards. Even if they were to offer a semiautomatic version, Mlok won the mod wars. Besides the retrofit market supplied the mods not the OEM.
From the PLA and Norinco perspective the minimum to get the advantage is the aim. The want is a standard that is interchangeable. One optic, one laser/light, one foregrip. Only the SF guys need total custom. The main line infantry need just enough to have the advantages of optics and night vision. Keymod and Mlok were commercial at birth they came from the want to have all the tactical accessories without the added weight and bulk. From there they transitioned to military because American military sometimes are American sports shooters.
Do you have more images from this show? I would be interested to see pics of their Type 56 clones.It appears Algeria has obtained production licenses for the CS/LM5 and CS/LM12 rotary machine guns as well as for the LG5 sniper grenade launcher.

Unfortunately these are the only images I have.
Has this variant been rechambered in 5.8 or is it still using the Tokarev cartridge?
