tvdog SG Sometimes I wonder why the PLA has decided to adopt not ONE, but TWO types of camoflage patterns so similar to the Americans. Not forgetting to mention the US-type helmet. No wonder the Americans have changed their Desert Camo and I think also their woodland BDU is on its way out.
tvdog SG Yet another type of PLA camo. Looks like WW2 German Waffen. They are carrying the weapon that replaced the AK47/AKM in the whole PLA. It has a longer barrel, among other things, designed to improve accuracy as they found the AKM too inaccurate.
LazerLordz SG Heh.Thanks for the pics..let’s hope the PLA evolves into a professional army and not a puppet of the Communist Party.
tvdog SG No chance...as you can see from the last lot, they start 'em young... Here's the latest Type 99 MBT. Most of their MBT have a turret-mounted anti-aircraft laser gun that is used for blinding enemy aircraft pilots.
tvdog SG more... Chinese J-10 Don't know what this is but looks like a handy thing to have for FIBUA.
tvdog SG A platoon of special troops. The guy on the extreme right seems to be carrying a silenced SMG, as is the 2 guys in front with the shinier weapons. The third guy from the right is armed with the SAW version of their Type-97 bullpup. ' ' ' SWAT team of paramilitary police. ' ' ' ' PLA SpecOps
tvdog SG Chinese bayonets from "pig sticker" of the 50's to the nasty-looking survival knife-type today. With wire-cutting capability when used with scabbard.
tvdog SG PLA AGL ' ' ' PLA "Minimi". Belt-fed but in the same 5.8mm calibre as their bullpup assault rifle. ' ' ' This RR looks like you can launch both tubes together? ' '
tvdog SG This again, is quite new. 2 pistols, one in 9mm, another in 5.8mm. You can tell from the markings on the receiver. See the 2 types of ammo? The round nose is the 9mm and nasty little sharp ones must be the 5.8mm. Probably same bullet as the AR but in a pistol cartridge. Looks like following closely on the footstep of the FN 5.7mm pistol. Armour piercing capability. Seen in use by these 2 cowboys here. Chinese police not known for subtlety...
tvdog SG 3 Chinese weapons made after the AK47/AKM was dropped. The one on top is in the soviet 7.62x39mm while the other 2 are in the new 5.8mm. The top weapon is still in widespread use. The modern-looking AK in the middle was never adopted. The bullpup below is what they are all switching to. Looks very well-made...
tvdog SG Chinese copy of the "Calico" SMG in 9mm. Has the helical magazine like the US Calico and and RUssian Bizon. Has a retractable buttstock.
tvdog SG I've seen quite a few pics of their SWAT or Spec Ops with crossbows. This is a mid-sized one. They use an even larger version also.
lionnoisy SG Have u heard of using Iron Gloves to climb mountains? http://forum.mil.sina.com.cn/cgi-bin/viewone.cgi?gid=71&fid=5168&itemid=4513
38 SG This's not the Type99 MBT, but the Type96(88C) MBT, Here is the real Type 99, see the difference?
