POTD: The Latest Chinese Weaponry

Your recent posting about PLA weaponry reminded me of all the pictures i took at the Chinese National Airshow in Zhuhai, China last November. Norinco, the largest arms manufacturer in China (Canadians know them well) makes everything from handguns to Main Battle Tanks and Spy Satellites, all of which were on display in a large hanger they had prepared to show off their goods. Zhuhai is meant to generate export sales so the arms on display are usually chambered in conventional NATO rounds rather than the unique Chinese stuff.
I like the design of the newer Chinese firearms. They are very slick.
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!

Shame the temporary sanctions on Norinco are still in place.
Yup--I have a Norinco 982 and it's a more durable copy of the Rem. 870 (it's built like a freaking tank!).
