Hello, I found this video. I heard people say that there is a keyhole issue with the 191 since the barrel is wobbly, and has poor bullet spread, can anyone provide context on this video?
I've seen demonstration video of QBZ-191 at longer range in which the target paper have normal holes. Also the other bullet holes around the paper (assuming they're from QBZ-191) also looks normal. My guess is for demonstration purpose they're using non standard ammunition, probably frangible or simunition that incompatible with QBZ-191's twist rate, probably to avoid damaging the camera.

Look at the case's color, it's not DBP-191

There are stone walls behind the targets, so those rounds are most likely training rounds not optimized for the 191.
