I wonder how they hold up to regular ar-15s. Who's the consumer, Canada?Norinco CQ series.
I don't see any writings saying that it's a thermobaric, if that's really the case:
1. Then they should really just use the available chinese term 温压 instead of inventing a new confusing one that's not properly define the mechanism as well, since thermobaric bomb is more like a single prolonged explosion rather than 2
2. Unrelated directly but this weapon can't (less effective) be deployed in the western theater like ladakh since it relies on atmospheric oxygen for its ignition
With the sighting system, the concept looks pretty similar to Dynamit Nobel Defence's new product the RGW family, just with a thermobaric warhead. However, it is pretty interesting that the grip seems to be integral to the launcher, unlike the RGW. I'm not sure how much the cost difference would be, but I think making the sight and grip separate from the rocket launching tube would ease production.
Still, if PLA is not complaining then who am I to disagree with their judgment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Norinco CQ series.
sigh... these were literally in our gun shops 5 months ago in Canada, before some nut decided to shoot up in the atlantic. They have a pretty good reputation for reliability but have poor finishing.
Not only that, note those grips and scopes. EOTech’s have been spotted before in the past but not suppressors on the rifles, angled grips and PEQ’s. Plus those qbz 95B’s have been transformed a lot. Aside from a couple of photos of qbz 97B’s getting scopes, those carbines usually don’t get modified to the extent that is shown here. I have a feeling this photo is from a testing ground owned by the company producing these rifles or the modifications for them, not a PAP or PLA training field.A lineup of various small arms, from sniper rifles to submachine guns. Note the QBZ-191s among them. Interesting modifications on the QCW-05 submachine guns.
You really want to try a double-edged sword.
