QBB-95

The QBB-95 (Type 95 LSW) is a Chinese bullpup light support weapon chambered in 5.8×42mm, derived from the QBZ-95 assault rifle and designed for squad automatic fire.

Overview

The QBB-95, often referred to as the Type 95 LSW (Light Support Weapon), is the squad automatic member of China’s QBZ-95 bullpup rifle family. It fires the indigenous 5.8×42mm cartridge from a heavy, fixed barrel and is fed by a large-capacity drum magazine, providing sustained suppressive fire for infantry squads of the People’s Liberation Army Ground Force (PLAGF) and the People’s Armed Police (PAP). Though it shares the bullpup layout and many components with the standard QBZ-95 service rifle, the QBB-95 is a purpose-built automatic support weapon — not merely a rifle with a heavier barrel — and has been the PLA’s standard squad automatic since the late 1990s.
