BTW, I think that ASEAN competition does not use scope. But you
can't compare Type95 with other Bullpups.
From range videos of the Type95, I've seen. The 95's recoil is not
exactly light, in fact, TAR-21 also have significant recoil.
Compare to SAR21 , It will beat both rifles hands down. Haven't
seen videos of AUG A3 yet, but from A2, it is better than both 95
and TAR.
I have read before on some other arms forum that bullpup have
this innate problem of reduce in accuracy at longer distance. This
was bcos of the shorten barrel due to shorter gun. Thus usually
bullpup comes with scopes to ratify this issue.
You're kidding me right... but the 5.8mm round does tends to
veer out after 400m, because of the reduced power, though the
cartridge is bigger.
But with scope, with my own experience target accuqistion
becomes slower due to the fact the view in the scope is
exaggerated. This was even more apparent when u are likr 100+m from
the target. The magnification of the scope also exaggerates ur
error due to breathing techniques and rifle handling. So during the
competition, could the Chinese team have suffered from this
fate?
95 don't come with standard built-in scopes.
Besides, the article says the competiton involves a segment of
60rds shooting in prone position. As we all noe the Chinese use
5.8mm rounds, their mag is longer than 5.56mm mag, could this mean
slower change in magazine and also poor rifle balancing due to the
fact, the longer mag forces the shooter to prone "higher".
It just need practise of loading.. and does the article says
it's a timed shoot-out ?
