QBZ-191 service rifle family
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
So is QBZ-95 still the main gun used in the army? Or has the 191 already replaced it now?
The 95 for a cheap quick solution was good for its time but now China has a bit more cash, its probably best to implement the upgrade soon rather than later?

It is being rolled out to everyone. However it takes time for everyone to get the new rifle.
Its being replaced, they just have millions of qbz in stock, getting rid of that isn't gonna be easy. they sold a few to other countries.
And which countries are that (the Type 97 series don't count by the way)?
Does anyone think the QBZ191 can become as ubiquitous as the Russian AK and American M4 one day?
The Russians are major small arms exporters but with the unfortunate situation in Ukraine, they need every weapon and accompanying ammo they produce in house these days. Apparently Chinese arms exports to Africa have exceeded Russian product just this year. And the Americans just love to giving away their M4 rifles like candy during Halloween, everyone from the Israelis to Taiwan to the Taliban have gotten free M4s and 5.56 ammo for their birthdays.
Maybe the Chinese can start with their neighbors, the North Koreans, maybe even the South Koreans, the Japanese, Mongols and ASEAN members? The Mideast, Venezuela (they use QBZ95s apparently) and Cuba maybe??
Thoughts?
