Two different models. I wonder which one is the earlier prototype. Did the magazine say when or how old this is?
This is another part of the article.
Seems that all weapon tests are done with the prototype with exposed gas block and a foregrip

I didn't know they allow beard in PLA.
Uyghurs and certain other minorities get it in Western China since shaving there is painful. As a matter of fact, one of the officers who was part of the series of clashes with India several years ago was a Uyghur whom the Indians thought was Pakistani undercover military officer.

I solely believe that the PLA will use QBU191 as a future reference for what their Next version of the 191 will be, considering it boasts impressive accuracy and low recoil, it seems that they will invest more expensive resources on Marksman Long - Mid range instead of Close Range encounters.

Out of all of the 191's the designated marksman rifle QBU hit the jackpot the most.
Saw the video of it firing. Impressive RoF and recoil indeed. Any downside that we might not know about?
