Chinese Special Forces Competing With AR-15 Rifles
We recently blogged about an elite Chinese counter-terrorism force armed with China-made AR-15 rifles. It turns out that Chinese Special Forces are also using the AR-15. These photos were taken at the 5th annual Warrior Competition held in Jordan where Special Forces from 18 countries competed against each other. Chinese teams came in first and second place. The Chinese teams were armed with Norinco AR-15 rifles, some of them customized with aftermarket stocks and other accessories.
More information and photos at Chinese Military Review.
Many thanks to Peter for the tip.

I think its a smart move on their part from a logistical stand point. If and when we ever meet them on the battlefield they can simply use our weapons and ammo! they will have the training. What I try and explain to ppl is that they are the new evil empire but one with money and a strong production base!
So we find out the Chinese cheated sounds about right. Who cheats in a competition that does't mean anything?
