Chinese snipers win Military and Police Sniper World Cup '11
Chinese snipers placed first in four of the five events at the 10th Military and Police Sniper World Cup in Budapest. Chinese sniper Xu Bo placed first overall, Qing Feng, also Chinese, came in second with Martin Kunz, of Austria, coming in at third. Nineteen countries had team participating, including Austria, Belarus, Britain, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland, USA, Ukraine and Vietnam.
Last year China used Remington rifles for the competition and placed third. It is not clear if this year they were using domestic rifles or imported target rifles. None of the rifles above resemble the JS 7.62, China’s medium range sniper rifle chambered in 7.62x54R.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Chinese Snipers once again made history by winning the Top two places in International Special Forces competition in Jordan from March 24-28 2013.
35 teams from 18 countries took part including France, USA,, Russia, Canada, Netherland
Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Malaysia, Leabanon etc
The best of Canada took 3rd place. 5 teams from USA took part ,including a team from the US Marines. (usual excuse : not sending the best team)
It is not point bragging infront of your home ground at Fort Benning. If you are the best, you should dominate in every International competition.
For this competition, the Chinese sent their teams from Beijing Armed Police which is equivalent to your SWAT team.
Chinese may win competitions, We win wars...
