I really like this one. A ton of novel gear, plus as was mentioned initially, this is only the second figure to come equipped with standard PLA camo. Cool HS as well.
Interesting weapon. A sustained-fire variant of the QBZ-95 rifle, with a longer, heavier barrel, firing a “machine gun” cartridge. Used as a SAW, without unique design like the Minimi/M249 NATO weapons.
I want to like this QBB-95, but I can’t help but notice the optic rail mounted, and with no optic provided to use with it. I would hope the rail is removable - wouldn’t it block the rear sight? If so, as configured, it would be rendered unable to sight properly.
Yeah, I could use an optic from my collection, but I’d rather Flagset provide a Chinese MG optic. I don’t think we have any of those in the scale.
I am not sure there are any Chinese sights/scopes in use other than the standard QBZ scopes that can attach directly to the rail of the carrying handle. All the other Flagset and Dam figures provided a western scope with the Chinese rifles that had a picatinny rail mounted on top of the carrying handle.
I’m not aware of how tight the strictures are, for regular soldiers in the PLA, regarding private purchase optics. The QB-95 family has, of course, some issue scopes. There are various images of other optics (SOF, or perhaps photo-op situations), and a number of “western” optics would enhance SAW performance.
I wouldn’t have a problem slapping one of the standard QBZ-95 optics on the QBB, but those mount directly to the carry handle, not a picatinny rail. So, again, here’s hoping that rail section is removable.
It does appear to be attached to a short picatinny rail section. Hence why I’d like that sight to be included here…instead of a rail with nothing mounted (that may, as I stated before, be blocking the rear iron sight)
