Returning to the topic. People might not care about this fact, but I see from government tv and several telegram videos with bolivarian militias training with the qbz-97b alongside AKs. The guns have no optics, of course.

These probably aren't representative and maybe they get more spotlight for show, but the militias aren't depicted with other weapons. Either Venezuela bought a decent number of them, or other branches don't like it and decided to give those surpluses to the militia.

Interesting.
Have you ever contacted these militia on their experiences with the QBZ-97B?

I have seen videos of people shooting the gun itself and it seems to recoil a lot for a 5.56. Not sure if it would work well in Venezuelan terrain in case an invasion happened.

At least not hanging heavy objects from the suspended barrel like many years ago

They still do it, but people are acting like they will be hanging things from the barrel during conflicts.

While it is not very practical, considering this is China I have no doubt those are not even guns just parade replicas roughly the same weight like the guns used in parades due to the strict gun control.
