Is it? I see bullets in the magazine.
QBZ-191 service rifle family
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
The hardguard looks strange and very plasticky. The handgaurd of the real rifle doesn't reflect light that well.
It may very well be rubberized or just polymer made. But I don't see how that proves that this is a plastic model rather than a real gun. As @Aniah mentioned, the bullets in the mag look very much real.
I believe this particular image is of real firearms. The upper receiver appears to have serial numbers and the lower also appears to have Norinco markings.It's likely a dummy training rifle, one that was first seen three years ago. It's used for dry fire training, thus the optic and the changeable magazines.
The green box also has DBP10A 5.8 ammo markings.
Yes it's a plastic model pay attention to the end of the hanguard
"Norinco markings?" Isn't Norinco an export-oriented sales company? Meaning that they don't really produce anything themselves, but they are in charge of arms export sales?
Norinco is a massive conglomerate of many smaller businesses that all sell under the "Norinco" brand.
This is the logo of the well-known NORINCO(北方工业), which is a sales company. It is jointly controlled by two major military industry groups in a 1:1 ratio.
1. China North Industries Group Corporation
Official Chinese name is 中国兵器工业集团公司(China Weaponry Industries Group Corporation)
In China people sometimes call it "北方工业"(North Industry), same as NORINCO's official Chinese name
2. China South Industries Group Corporation
Official Chinese name is 中国兵器装备集团公司(China Weaponry Equipments Group Corporation)
In China people sometimes call it "南方工业"(South Industry)
The products of the two major groups are basically sold by NORINCO, so Chinese firearms have the NORINCO logo.
