There is also modification made to the charging handle, I think it is made wider than the ones we have seen previously.

An interesting question to ask is, is this new chagrining handle special to the DMR version of the gun, or have they updated the overall design?

In other words, PLA not ready for the whole "Christmas tree" deal...

Other military forces are moving away from quad rails too. Unnecessarily heavy, difficult on the hands (I too love holding cheesegraters for hours and hours), and more expensive to machine as well.

Their solution for the QBU-191 is a 12 o'clock rail with m-lok in other aspects, which is lighter, easier on the hands, and easier to machine than quad rail equivalent.


For standard QBZ-191, having a 12 o'clock rail and four smaller rail attachment points (i.e.: not permanent) on the handguard is more than sufficient as the standard infantry configuration imo.


If they want a more "SOF" version of QBZ-191, they can just adopt a shorter version of QBU-191's handguard.
Quad rails this day and age imo is just silly and costly, and if the PLA has any sense they will never adopt a quad rail handguard for QBZ-191...
