YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGet Your Own Mini Toy GOAT Replica Today!
In 2019 China’s People’s Liberation Army introduced their brand new primary rifle the QBZ-191. The reason they switched away from the Type-95 takes us through Xi Jinping's larger goal of modernization and completely overhauling their entire infantry philosophy.
For instance The QBZ-191 appeared just 4 months before China announced they would also start manufacturing 1.4 million body armor plates. That probably doesn’t sound like a big deal until you realize in the past PLA soldiers were never issued ballistic plates. Xi Jinping's sword just got a little sharper and his shield a little thicker.

The lightweight 6.6 lb qbz-191 fires a new version of their 5 8 by 42 mm intermediate cartridge at a rate of fire of 750 rounds per minute using a more reliable gas operated short stroke piston. Don’t get too distracted by the beautiful hardware that isn’t the real revolution here, we’ll see this is really all about the 4 new high tech attachments and changes to their fighting doctrine. But are the internet rumors that the QBZ-191 has poor performance actually true and Will Xi Jinping's overhaul of the average Chinese infantryman work? Fire a surplus round at the like and subscribe button and lets get started.
