PLA Small Arms Competition

Depends on interpretation. My comment was about history of China(be it during dynasties, democracy, communist...) and its actions towards other countries. China itself however has undergone much civil war, ethic rife and domestic issues throughout its thousands of years of history.

Taiwan/Chinese Taipei falls into this internal issue. Much like Quebec calling itself a sovereign nation or Israel claiming the Gaza Strip, it comes down to interpretation.

Although in the 60-70's there were always threats to attack Taiwan, it hasn't happened. At most the PRC wants Taiwan to call itself Chinese Taipei during the Olympics....

Im also curious, if China's military is defensive in nature why are they building such a massive deep water fleet?

Sooner or later there will be wars for Fresh water and Oil, which is why China is spending so much of their U.S reserves to tie up resources in Africa and South America. The rest of what they require, they will attempt to take at gun point. Its a realistic scenario that they will end up in wars with both Russia and India.

The Type 97/QBZ 95 has some serious ergonomic design flaws. You can tell by the manual of arms these guys are using. They have found some pretty good work arounds for them, ie, compensating for the goofy safety position by not charging the rifle until they are going to shoot; changing the mag with their right hand to compensate for the goofy mag release (the Type 97 mag release is even worse). It should also be noted that they aren't using any optics.

Having said that, the balance of the rifle is superb (as you can see when they are running), accuracy is quite good, and it's built fairly well.

You've just reminded me to finish that Chinese Type 95 bashing article that I promised......
 
THis is supposed to be a "GUN thread", not a Chinese politics thread.

But since it is started, I will put in my two cents before this OT shall die!

If you read the Art of War, the Chinese considered war as the lowest form of solution - political moves back by military prepareness is the preferrable solution to achieve objectives. It has been always the Chinese way to recruit states around its border, when they made noise, they punked the people in charge or conduct proxy wars against them ( for example, in Korea around the 13th century)

Tibet was always one of those client states - the last time Tibet was an independant power went all the way back to almost 1000 years ago. It was not until the weakening of Qin Dynasty did Tibet made more noises. When Qin Dynasty was dead, the absensce of a strong central government kinda let Tibet on its own. It is in a way, like the irish, scottish and English relationship.

But can they hit anything?

Like everything from the ChiCom government media, I'd take it with a grain of salt.

All I see is 5 guys that have their drills down. If I saw the entire 2.5M strong standing PLA doing this I'd be worried. Fortunately for us 2.49M of them are still using Type 53's, SKS' and AK's, and I'm sure that their skills are no where near those of these 5 government circus performers.

Good propaganda though...

Do you have evidence to back that up?
I know they run mostly on 5.8mm now, using QBZ-95 or Type 88 (for those who hates bullpup)

Charles Martel, I don't know you, but I am sure you got it all wrong from a Paranoid Perspective, the reason Chinese had that much build up is base on know it history, been meddling by outsider for Century.

I like those boots/green running shoes - I wonder if they make them in a size 11.5 D-width??? :D (have you noticed that our smiley icon looks vaguely Asian???)

This is a "no value added" post and has been mudgunner49 approved...:cool:

Their intentions towards Taiwan are?
Click to expand...

Intimidate them from doing anything too drastic while their economies become inexorably intertwined to the point where they no longer need any military leverage because they hold all the economic leverage.

100,000 Taiwanese work and live in the PRC. They own/operate many of the electronics assembly and fabrication plants that used to be located in Taiwan. I'd say that day isn't too far off.

Funny thing was the reporter said they practiced so hard that each of them shoot above 200 hundred rounds a day!!!! Well, I understood that a bit too much for shooting without hearing protection with a bullpup!:D

PS. I also wondering their new reloading method. There were a few shown on youtube before and now they seems standardised the tac reloading.

I think I see them wearing earplugs. I wonder if they run competitions using the other rifles like the Type 03 or Type 81. Or are units not issued the Type 95 simply disqualified? :p
