Then he must've a lot of time on hand to make those models, but I really inclined to say those are 3D-printed models because those "guns" totally lack of serial markings and stuff on the body.He posted that add on as I was writing. I haven’t seen any adverts for a QBZ 191 airsoft rifle yet. Given the relatively new status of the weapon and lack of solid details it’s probably costom which is why I would favor model. Probably a 3 D printed shell with the guts of a off the shelf AEG. Fitted with airsoft replica accessories.
That we really don't know.How does this compare with the Japanese 20 5.56?
HOWA Type 20 as it was debuted, has many parts and accessories from other manufacturers like KAC and Magpul, and even the sample has prototype etched on the upper receiver body thus indicated its iteration status, so we don't know if all that will become standard in production model.
Also, "performance" will require some range shooting results to compare with. QBZ-191 has seen undergoing some range test firing in the news segment but its results were not shown; HOWA Type 20 shown with only dry firing.
Besides, if you want a "compare", then you'd need some "back-to-back" session by the same shooter at the same shooting range going through a few mags of standard issue ammo. No, I don't think even the CIA or DoD can arrange to "obtain" both guns' production version for such comparison shootout. And certainly Sino-Japan relationship is nowhere near the level that PLA and JGSDF would perform joint training exercise where both sides bring their best toys to the occasion, do cross-training and stuff.
