The QBZ-191 China’s New Assault Rifle Isn’t So Impressive

It’s not too late to register for the October 1-2 Team Leader Class. Email me to reserve your spot.

Three years ago, China announced they were moving away from the bullpup platform of the QBZ-95 and adopting the more conventional QBZ-191. In a move that made me quite proud to be an American, China has moved from a bullpup to a quasi-AR 15 design. Well, it’s a short-stroke gas piston gun, so it might be more appropriate to call it an HK 416 clone than an AR-15. To be fair, it’s not like the HK416 isn’t based on the AR 15.

Let’s get out of the weeds and talk about China’s recent social media push. They’ve released a number of videos displaying the QBZ-191 in the hands of soldiers. One of their latest is a display of what’s described as an All Female SWAT team. They are wielding the new QBZ-191, and in a fairly hilarious video, they show this team clearing a shoot house and maybe showing the QBZ-191 isn’t quite ready for mass adoption.

Weird that an entire culture can’t pony up an original thought…

Interesting, until he saved throwing in with Biden and the WEF for the last sustenance.

  Not everyone can see through the ocean of propaganda. Doesn’t mean they can’t put out good content occasionally.

“Say what you will about our taxes funding Ukraine, we’re kicking Russia hard for pennies on the dollar.”

Is that “his truth” or how would we quantify that?
