QBZ-97


The Chinese carbine is a lot different from the other two standard carbines. Unlike the M4 ad the AK74-U, the QBZ does not not have a laser sigh, this can actually be an advantage however.

This is what wikipedia says:

The QBZ-95 (Chinese: 轻武器,步枪,自动, 1995; pinyin: Qīng Bùqiāng--Zìdòng, 1995; literally "Light/Small, Rifle, Automatic, 1995") is an assault rifle manufactured by Arsenal 266, part of Norinco and Arsenal 296, under Jianshe Corp, China South for the People's Liberation Army, the armed forces of the People's Republic of China, Chinese People's Armed Police (para-military) and the Chinese law enforcements. This weapon uses a newly-developed ammunition type of Chinese origin, the 5.8 x 42 mm DBP87. The QBZ-95 consists of a system of firearms using a common design.

Tactics. This gun requires a different view towards using it than the other two standard carbines.

1. Use the iron sight (zoom) as much as possible, this has a little pin which can show you where your bullet will land. It is more reliable than the laser, which will spray the bullets a bit.

2. Think of it more as a rifle than a carbine. Try to engage people up close more often, as this gun loves that kind of play if you can pull it off.

3. This gun fires even faster, so be all the more aware of that ammo count.
