The QBZ-95 family of bullpup assault rifles is China's 21st century foray into the world of synthetic bullpup stock assault rifles (like the Steyr AUG, British SA80, and French FAMAS rifles). This series of weapons designs marks the first time the Chinese army (PLA) have diverged from the traditional Kalashnikov styling of rifles and light machine guns. The family includes the improved QBZ-95-1 variants, the QBZ-97 variants for export, the QJB-95 light machine gun, and the QBZ-95B carbine variant.
QBZ stands for "Qīngwǔqì, Bùqiāng, Zìdòng" (Chinese characters: 轻武器, 步枪, 自动), meaning "Small arm, Rifle, Automatic". The QJB designation of the light support weapon variant stands for "Qīngwǔqì, Jīqiāng, Bānyòng" (Chinese characters: 轻武器, 机枪, 班用), meaning "Small arm, Machine gun, Sqaud-use".
Note: the QJB-95/95-1 light support weapon is often misreported as the "QBB-95/95-1" on the internet.
