QBZ-95

From Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video Games
(Redirected from Norinco QBZ-95)
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Type 95 (Chinese: 95式枪族; "Type 95 firearm family") family of bullpup assault rifles is China's 21st century foray into the world of synthetic bullpup stock assault rifles (like the Steyr AUG, British SA80, and French FAMAS rifles). This series of weapons designs marks the first time the Chinese army (PLA) have diverged from the traditional Kalashnikov styling of rifles and light machine guns.

Despite popular misconception, the Type 95 family is actually designed and manufactured by China South Industries Group, not Norinco Group. The family includes the QBZ-95 rifle variant, the improved QBZ-95-1 variants, the QBZ-97 variants for export, the QJB-95 light machine gun, and the QBZ-95B carbine variant.

The exact definitions of the three-letter designations used for the weapons is not confirmed by any known reliable online source. It is generally believed that QBZ stands for "Qīngwǔqì, Bùqiāng, Zìdòng" (Chinese characters: 轻武器, 步枪, 自动), meaning "Small arm, Rifle, Automatic", and QJB stands for "Qīngwǔqì, Jīqiāng, Bānyòng" (Chinese characters: 轻武器, 机枪, 班用), meaning "Small arm, Machine gun, Squad-use".

Note: IMFDB previously incorrectly prefixed this weapon's name with "Norinco", under the false assumption that it was manufactured by Norinco or Norinco Group. Editors should not prefix this weapon's name with Norinco, and should remove them when they appear, as this weapon was not manufactured by Norinco or Norinco Group.
