China's new infantry rifle

[Slater]

Looks like they dumped the bullpup for a more traditional layout:

"According to sources, the new rifle is a gas-operated short-stroke pistol assault rifle, and is chambered in the standard 5.8x42mm caliber, but it utilizes a new type of round that has been designed to perform better, the National Interest report said."

That’s a lot of fake Magpul looking furniture on that thing.

Maybe Leapers/UTG just scored a big contract? They could start a new polymer furniture division just for the Chinese military. Call it "Lupgam" (Magpul spelled backward)

No, really, Hunter provided them a catalog.

I'm wondering if this is an advancement of the QBZ-03. I read that the old QBZ-95 was never that popular and that they were already looking for a traditional rifle not long after the 95 was adopted; the 03 was one of the first replacements considered.

China adopts a new rifle every decade.

Imagine if the US Army adopted the M14 in the 50s, the M16 in the 60s...
And then adopted the AR-18 in the 70s. The Colt ACR in the 80s. The M4 in the 90s. The XM8 in the 00s. And one of the IC entries, maybe the FN, in the 2010s. That’s the PLA’s small arms programs for the last seventy years.

WTF is "the standard 5.8x42mm caliber"

that thing looks like some sort of Sig550 knock dripping in fake magpulesq furniture.
