Hello, everyone. I have a question regarding about the QBZ-191; and that's something I would find it interesting: Does the Chinese arms manufacturers will make export versions of the QBZ-191, and its new magazine feed SAW, in 5.56x45 NATO; 7.62x39mm; 5.45x39mm 74 Russian; .300 Blackout; and 7.62x51mm NATO? So far, they have shown only the current family of QBZ weapons in its original 5.8x42mm cartridge. Anyone?
They make it if they get a big customer. Pakistan is looking for a new rifle and QBZ-191 should be perfect. But Pakistan don't use 5.56mm outside special forces so maybe they will just go with 5.8mm version.
Unless China offered it as part of free military aid with technology transfer and instructors like Soviet Union offered their AK I don't think they will adopt new rifle and ammo when they can't afford changing entire supply chain and retraining their soldiers to new rifle and ammo. QJY-201 GPMG seems to be a more likely option since it use the same 7.62mm NATO as MG3.
