Sorry if long post. Just had to get that out of my system

Hey, if somebody wants to use it as an assault rifle, nobody's stopping him. The rifle has the full works for an assault rifle, so no problem there.

If the user is trained and strong enough, the 7.62mm round is a powerful round for assault operations. Besides, even elite units like US Navy SEAL teams simply just love their 7.62mm FN SCAR-H rifles.

A clearer picture of the CX-1 hypersonic missile. From the technicians working on it we can probably reasonably gauge the approximate size of the missile. My take? Probably 8-9 meters in length and around 80cm across.

Hahaha don't la say 'copy'. That's such a bad word.

A better word would be 'Reverse engineered'.

NORINCO 8M category 1 MRAP vehicle. Rumor has it you can get one for USD 200k.

A strange but innovative ROV system from NORINCO

A probable hunter-killer concept. The mother vehicle would patrol around, deploying its quadcopter for aerial reconnaissance if need be. If an identified target is to be destroyed or something, the mother vehicle can also deploy a smaller Machinegun-armed ROV for the killer mission.

Quite innovative.

Yes, you cracked it!
It is a medium transport plane with a high-set wing and four 6-blade prop engines, thus it is a C-130/A400 copy. This is the absolute truth.

Any attempt to say otherwise is anti-communist propaganda.

According to this small-scale model of the CX-1, there is a possibilty that the CX-1 will be produced in a full-sized version (left) and mini-sized version (right)

Wow, that really looks rather unbalanced and top heavy.

This is also anti-aircraft system I see, with the FN-6 missiles and all.

Interesting RWS concept. The system has a 7.62mm machinegun, 40mm grenade launcher, smoke launchers and a rotating 360-degree opto-electrical sensor gimbal.



Looks heavy though, probably only suited to tanks and heavier APCs.

Another unmanned system, similar to the US MULE project, but not sure if it's remote-controlled or really autonomous.

Few years later? Dude, you're severely underestimating Chinese 'reverse-engineering' powers!

Given China already has decent fighter planes, I don't see the need to buy another fighter plane from a foreign source just for the plane. Heck, I won't be surprised they bought the Sukhois just to dissect them for their tech.

Exactly, it's the tubular mag for the shotgun. The user can select want to fire from which mag tube, so a user can either load both tube mags with buckshot or load one tube with buckshot and one tube with another type (sabot, flechettes or something).

Each tube can fit 6 shells, so with an extra shell in the chamber the user can load 6+6+1 shells in the shotgun.

I think the 40mm grenade launcher is supposed to be the main weapon with the 7.62mm MG as the backup/coaxial weapon. Although I confess I don't actually know under what combat condition will this system be optimal for. Perhaps for COIN/riot control?

Here's a closer look at at the system:
