Here you go full episode, It does not revolve around the QBZ191 the episode showcases multiple units and some aircraft vehicles. Also show some bits of them using the new Rifle.
QBZ-191 service rifle family

I don't know why, but they decided to edit some videogame gun sounds in the video. The sound of the soldiers rocking the magazine in is from Counter-strike. The shoots sound conspicuous as well.
Either they want to hide the characteristics of sound for maintaining secrecy of the new weapon, or they just failed recording and decided to edit some template stock sound effect to cover it up.

One thing is certain: you ain't gonna find QBZ-191 series in Battlefield / Call of Duty game anytime soon...
I noticed that whenever the camera is in front of the gun, the bolt is locked back. I guess for safety reasons. I guess that being just recently issued and being in limited amounts for special forces are the main reasons, but i feel that the gun is still being held in an relative secrecy. Small arms are not too determining for the outcome in wars, which is probably why they don't feel that is wrong to show it every now and then.
Most likely they felt that the original sounds didn't sound cool. It's pretty common for gun focused channels and media to replace gun sounds with artificial ones that sound nicer than what the camera can record, just like Hollywood. I doubt that knowing how a rifle sounds from a recording would be delicate intel. China didn't have a problem with the international army games 2021 videos, featuring competitors shooting the QBZ with unadulterated sounds.
There is a system displayed on the ZhuHai air show this year using highly sensitive microphone to detect where the enemy sniper shots or mortar fires form, im not sure how exactly these types of equipment works but i could take an educated guess that the characteristics of sound of certain enemy's weapon maybe the key element or at Least it could make the work a bit easier considering how chaotic the real battlefield would sound like.

I doubt it’s going to work that way as all sorts of environmental factors can affect the sound profile in the real world.
Doing a sound library would also require you to have a comprehensive recording of all sound signatures of all weapons types, then you need to factor in different ammo types and suppressors etc, which feels like a recipe for disaster.
I would think that if they were to use sound libraries, they would instead feed in the sound profiles of all PLA infantry weapons so the system automatically exclude those from the analysis.
But I think such systems will work best for forces like peacekeepers, who might get shot at occasionally rather than troops operating in the middle of pitched battles, as I imagine the system will probably be overwhelmed or produce so many tracks as to be largely useless during intensive firefights.
