If that is so then how much do we know about the level of adoption that the PLA will make for this rifle ? That is the question that I put forward.The QBZ-03 experience is not relevant to the experience of this new service rifle because the PLA has not adopted a new service rifle in recent years with similar ergonomic and modular features to the new service rifle in a way to which the QBZ-03 had.
That is to say; the QBZ-03 was preceded by the QBZ-95. The QBZ-95 was a rifle with a different configuration but otherwise similar lack of ergonomic and lack of modular features. We also had evidence of the QBZ-95 being widely adopted already by the time QBZ-03 started being introduced.
This new service rifle has no preceding "QBZ-95 equivalent".
So there is no logical basis to believe that the QBZ-03 is somehow a relevant experience for the new service rifle.
