Not the 03, but some sort of Sino-ACR. For them modularity n shit.

Yeah, 95-1 with normal troops, 03 for armed police and airborne, as well as light infantry.

>>34007554
>bullpup.
>literally made for airborne and light infantry.
Why are chinks fucking retarded? Did they look at western weapons and just ape them without knowing why?

Most airborne still use the 95 tho

>>34007578
They noticed that when folded, the 03 is more compact than the 95.

>>34007578
The PLA also use that retarded .223 knock off. The 5.8mm they claim has better ballistics.

Some western guy tested it and the 77 grain heavy round is actually pretty good.

But they are all steel core ammo, so bad wounding against unarmored targets.

That earliest DBP-88 heavy ball was also noticeably larger (black lacquered case)

>.223 knock off.
It seems like it's closer to the aborted 6mm SAW dimensions-wise.
