Re: Type 95 assault rifle
It seems that there isn't much discussion on or about the Type 95 assault rifle anymore. The rifle has some flaws and i was wondering have the been fixed? What modifications would you do if you were to slighlty to remake the rifle into a modified version Type-95A or even a completly re-model a new rifle with a conventional design Type 06 maybe:china: ?
Excuse me sir, The QBZ-95 assault rifle or a.k.a. Type-95. I read at wikipedia that the QBZ-95 was designed to replace thouse Type-81 assault rifle (that I also read at wikipedia that is as reliable as the russian/soviet AK series but almost as acurate as the American M16s) The only problem that I hera about the QBZ-95 is that cant be fired from left handed shoulder cause it's dangerous for the soldier due the ejection chamber can eject the round remanent part (or whatever the neme in english is) to the soldier's face. I also read Chinas clame that is 5.8mm ammunition have better penetration power than both... the 5.56mm Nato and the 5.45mm Russian (they already testet) also the QBZ-95 is designed very likley as the british SA-80 assault rifle. Here som pics of the QBZ-95s
and right here you can observe the british SA-80 assault rifle
you can see clearly how mush they looks like. Right here you can read pros and conts about the QBZ-95
Advantages
The QBZ-95 (Type 95) can be compared in it's reliability with the AK Assault Rifles. Assault Rifle features low recoil power and cold hammer forged barrel. These features provide high fire accuracy. Furthermore it executes three shot burst fire. Weapon's compact dimensions, light weight, additional pistol and carrying handles provide comfortable handling and usage including in a limited space areas. It has can be reloaded from the each hand. One more advantage is ability to fed it from the 75 round drum magazine.
Disadvantages
High sighting line makes quiet dangerous firing from the covers as the shooter must uncover almost till his waist to make a sighted shot. All the "bullpup" design rifles feature uncomfortable magazines replacement. One more disadvantage is that the QBZ built on the "bullpup" principle has insufficient ambidextrous abilities as the extraction opening is placed right.
As for your question friend. you if you see pics from the PLA soldiers when the british give them Honk Kong you can observe they have QBZ-95s in their hands... That sound to me like they already adopt the riffle (you can chek that out at wikipedia)
