Q&A Request: Chinese Small Arms (w/ Jason Clower)
🕑 Added 2025-07-05 14:06:37 +0000 UTCI am going to be doing some filming with Jason Clower (Type 56: The Story of China's Army; https://www.youtube.com/@Type56_Ordnance_Dept) and I figure that's a perfect opportunity for a Q&A. As someone quite knowledgeable on Chinese small arms, what would you like me to ask him?

What was the PLA's philosophy around the bayonet? Or even the concept of close-combat in general. How did they differ from their contemporaries?

How much truth is there in the claims that the QBZ 191 isn't made with the same quality as previous designs? And do we have any insight on whether the typical PLA soldier prefers the 95 or the 191?
