Type 95 Assault Rifle II

Re: Type 95 assault rifle

OK, fine.

I'd put tuning fork over rubber padding, sincetuning forks are proven in hammers, not that they can't coexist.

It'll be hard trying to spit downwards when the magazine is below also. Case'd have to go very far back and u'll have jamming problems.
I don't really trust the SAR-21 method of lefty use.......Seems untrusty.......

Look at this:

Why does it eject only 1 way? Is there a piece? I'd think. If there is a way to change it, it'll be key. (Or you can look at C8s.)
I'd probably take a Mauser chamber assembly, fit it with a Type 81 gas operation, recoil assembly (It's probably different if it's more stable.) and fit a switch to the chamber so that the Mauser assembly can "turnover" and spit the other way.

Re: Type 95 assault rifle

Hi,

If this is what I would think of having in an assault rifle or the mod of the Chinese Type 95, I would not introduce most of what was in Singapore's SAR 21 because of some review I have from my friends in S'pore armed forces.

I would like the spent cartridge to be ejected forward from the front much like what is happening to F2000.

Also I am thinking if there is not spent cartridge like the German's caseless rounds, wouldn't it be better? Also a build in grenade launcher would be good, but I am not a fan for its weigh.

Do you mean a built in grenade launcher on the actual rifle? Or a new grenade launcher design for that specific rifle? If you are talking about the first one then not every scenario requires a grenade launcher and it also makes the rifle that much more heavier for the user. The current detachable grenade launcher works just fine for the rifle. Since the PLA special forces don't need a grenade launcher (correct if wrong) in CQB in urban environments why would they need the standard Type 95 rifle that has the option of a detachable grenade launcher being fitted on. The Type 95 Carbine (where the heck has this rifle gone too anyway haven't seen it for ages) would do just fine for the Special forces since the barrel is shorter for CQB in urban environments, but cannot have a detachable grenade fitted on it. But this shouldn't be problem since they don't need them in there scenario. The Beijing SWAT and Snow wolf all seemed to be equipped with the standard Type 95 rifle but really wouldn't the Type 95 carbine do just fine for them since the rifle length is shorter for CQB engagment? The Type 95 standard should go to the PLA infantry while the Type 95 Carbine should go to the special forces. But currently the Special forces is getting the standard Type 95 rifle while the PLA infantry is getting the Type 81 rifle.

Re: Type 95 assault rifle

This is a possible solution for the handle problem of the current Type 95 assault rifle. Like the Type 95 the Type 05/JS military basically resembles the Type 95 with the reloading trigger on the top along with the fixed carrying handle. The police version is slightly different with the reloading trigger move to the side and the handle removed in order to attach a pictionary rail for accessories. Solving the handle issue for the Type 95 it could incorporate the Police Type 05/JS version kind of layout.


Police JS/Type 05


Military JS/Type 05

Re: Type 95 assault rifle

Forgive me I dont have the luxury to read the above posts, but can someone please tell me that what kind of ammunitions are used in Type 95? and which one does PLA prefers; in other term which one is more effective in combat

thank you.

5.8 X 42mm DBP87 rounds. Round is basically similar in performance to 5.56mm NATO round but Chinese sources state that round has better penetration compared to 5.45mm and 5.56mm rounds...

Re: Type 95 assault rifle

The 5,8x42mm is somewhere between the russian 5,45x39mm and NATO 5,56x45mm. The round has the highest penetrating power, but are loosing out on other aspects. It is less accurate than 5,56mm but more accurate than the 5,45mm which are built for the russian spray and prey mentality. On the other hand the nasty 5,45mm ammunition far outperforms the other two in the wounds it produces. The small wounds that comes as a result of optimizing your ammunition for punching through body armour, have been a problem in Iraq etc.
and this problem is inherited in the 5,8mm.

Re: Type 95 assault rifle

Hello to everyone.
I have a concern about the three different bullets with the same caliber.
One for pistol and SMG ant another two for rifle and sniper rifle, SAW and machine gun.
Even the last two is interchangeable it is not practical for logistic.
I read an interesting book about Read Army(Viktor Suvorov. Inside the Soviet Army „Why do Calibres Vary?”) and one chapter describes the method of choosing the calibers.
Maybe for the pistol should choose a little different one ex. 6 mm or something else.

I'm sorry, I couldn't figure out what you were asking? Why most handguns use 9mm calibre as opposed to something smaller? If so... the general reason that I can think of is to avoid overpenetration, as handguns are most often used by law enforcement in urban areas...

(The article was an interesting read,)

Re: Type 95 assault rifle

Well to have one caliber in several rifles, as the PLA has, makes logistics easier at first. Now different tasks require different features from the catrige. If you stick with the same caliber and only changes the projectiles, it's not that complex as to to design a new caliber.
Now for the differences. The catrige is 5.8mmx42. The sniper-rifle Type88 uses a "heavy round". If it means what it says, the projectile wights more it makes sense. The sniper is for longer ranges than the Type 95 wich uses standart 5.8 catrige. Both catriges contain the same amount of explosiv 5.8mm x 42 But since the one round is heavier it will not be accelerated as fast as the lighter one, that means drag is lower. So due to that and the greater weight, it will loose lesser energy on the way to a far away target. For standart infantry battles that's not that important, and the soldier doesn't have to carry the heavy rounds.
Well, and then there's the point what character shall the projectile have when impacting. For armor penetration you use a hardend head "full metal jacket". If you operate as a law enforcement in CQB you don't want to penetrate a bullet through a target, but to expand all it's energy there, man stopping effect. That's the place for jacketed hollow point. It will deform in the target.

Does that answer your question??
