China 95 (qbz 95)5.8 mm assault rifle series is a standard automatic weapon developed by NORINCO of China for the People's Liberation Army. This weapon entered the PLA service in 1997 to replace the old 7.62mm Type 56 and 8 1 rifles. Type 95 adopts a bracket-free design similar to that of French GIAT FAMAS. There are three variants of weapons: basic assault rifle QBZ95, squad machine gun QB95 and shortened compact rifle CAR95. Most PLA elite force is currently equipped with Type 95.
plan
The PLA began to develop the next generation of assault rifles in the late period of 1970. In the early stage of the plan, the focus is on small caliber, and the performance of high-rate ammunition is equivalent to that of NATO standard 5.56X45 SS 109 and Soviet Union 5.54X39 M74 ammunition. After some ammunition tests and evaluations, 5.8X42 DBP87 ammunition was finally selected as the winner of five candidate categories (5.6mm, 5.8mm, 5.8 1 mm, 5.98mm and 6.00mm). The speed of the ammunition from the standard barrel is 930m/s, and the effective range is 400m. Ammunition is said to have better penetration ability than NATO standard 5.56 mm ammunition.
Once the ammunition was ready, the PLA began to develop new rifles based on 5.8 mm ammunition. 1in the middle of 1990, NORINCO, China, introduced a new design of bareback rifle, namely QBZ95. The weapon was adopted by the PLA as Type 95, instead of the older Type 56 and Type 8 1 7.62mm rifles. Type 95 first served in the Hong Kong Garrison of the People's Liberation Army on 1997, and also played an important role in the military parade on the 50th anniversary of Beijing National Day on 1999. In 2005, most elite troops of PLA were equipped with Type 95 as standard rifles.
The 95-style user experience has always been controversial. The unsupported design allows a shorter weapon length without sacrificing impact and killing effect. This is beneficial for use in narrow spaces such as armored vehicles or helicopters. However, compared with the rifle with traditional design, the rifle without bracket can not be shot correctly by the user in the way of holding the gun before. In addition, because the unloading opening of the bareback rifle is very close to the user's face, the user will feel very loud sound, air billow and smoke when the spent cartridge case jumps out.
modify
Like many assault rifle designs, the Type 95 has a variety of configurations, including the basic assault rifle QBZ95, the class machine gun QB95 that produces higher firepower and longer effective range, and the shortened compact rifle CAR95. NORINCO of China has also developed an export weapon QBZ97(97 (Type 97), which is used to shoot NATO standard 5.56X45 ammunition. Another weapon in the 5.8 mm rifle series is the Type 88 semi-automatic sniper rifle, but it is usually regarded as an independent weapon and enjoys the same design and many parts as the Type 95.
When the Type 95 is in service in the PLA general army, it can be equipped with LC 1-I 35 mm Grenade launcher under the barrel. The launcher is front-mounted and can fire 35mm high-explosive (he) and high-explosive anti-tank ammunition (HEAT) with a maximum range of 400 mm..
QBB95 machine gun is equipped with a set of image enhancement night vision device. The weapon has a slightly longer barrel and 75 drums than a standard assault rifle. Weapons shooting 5.8 mm "heavy ammunition" bullets produce high-intensity firepower and long-range effects.
ARC95 light rifle is specially designed for special forces and air transport units. This weapon is characterized by shortened barrel and light weight. Unlike the standard QBZ95 assault rifle, the ARC95 can't add grenade launchers.
design
Type 95 is a pneumatic, magazine, automatic and unsupported weapon. It has a short-stroke gas piston and a rotating bolt. The handle of the bolt is located at the top of the gun body, under the handle. The housing and handle are made of polymer, with a rear sight base and a mounting point for optical or night vision sight. The shell outlet is only arranged on the right side of the weapon, so it cannot be fired from the left shoulder.
The standard line of sight is wide, with the range of 100 ~ 500m. The front barrel part of the standard assault rifle is unobstructed on the left side to launch grenades. It is also possible to equip a Grenade launcher under the barrel, or use a small bayonet. The firing control of type 95 rifle consists of trigger and safety/selection switch, which is located on the left side of the rear gun body and behind the magazine. The rifle is equipped with 30 magazines and can be fired partially or continuously.
CAR95 compact rifle has a short barrel, so it cannot fire grenades or be equipped with Grenade launchers. The QBB95 machine gun has a long barrel, and is equipped with a drum with 75 rounds of ammunition and a foldable bipod for better shooting accuracy.
bullet
Type 95 series assault weapons fired 5.58× 42mm DBP87 bullets developed by NORINCO, China. Bullets come in two configurations: standard ammunition and "heavy ammunition".
The standard 5.58 mm bullet has a length of 57~58mm and a weight of 12~ 13g. The bullet (projectile) is 25mm long and weighs 4.5g.. This kind of bullet is used in QBZ95 assault rifle and CAR95 light rifle.
The "heavy ammunition" bullet was developed by 1986. It uses a heavier bullet with a length of 28 mm. This kind of bullet is also different from the standard 5.58 mm bullet design. This kind of bullet is used in QBB95 machine gun, QBU88 sniper rifle and QJY88 general machine gun.
Other ammunition includes blanks (rifle grenades) and tracer bullets.
