Paraguay army using Chinese M4 clone (CQ 5.56)
Paraguay has apparently bought the relatively new Norinco CQ 5.56, M4A1 clones.
The caption of the above photo, translated from Spanish:
Soldiers of the Joint Detachment of Empleo Inmediato (DECEI) marching past with carbines Norinco CQ-M4 of 5.56 mm Are copies of Colt M-4A1 made in China and equipped with viewfinders of not known model. The DECEI depends on the Commando of Special Troops of the Army.
According to Wikipedia:
This variant introduced in the year 2006 in several Defense expos worldwide, including the MILIPOL, is a copy of the American M4A1 assault carbine. It features a telescoping stock, a removable carrying handle mounted on a Picatinny rail, and a 368,3 millimetres (14,5 inches) barrel. The CQ Type A carbine variant is claimed to be able to stabilize both M193 “Ball” and SS-109/M-885 variants of the 5.56 mm cartridge, as would be expected from a rifle with a 1:9 barrel rifling twist. It will quickly accept the installation of grenade launchers due to the quick attachment/detachment handguard design and to the step-cut barrel.

The AR is the best combat rifle out there. It’s not a surprise.
Jdun I used to love the AR15s as well they were my favourite gun especially the AR4 COMMANDO. Actualy, they are still my favourite kind of gun and the best type of them is an M4. You da’ man jdun.
