Zhouran International Arms Trade Negotiation Board [MT]

Postby Zhouran » Sun Aug 27, 2017 2:41 am

This is basically both a storefront and place of arms negotiation. Indeed, it is meant to be a supervision and negotiation board where a client state/client group negotiates with Zhouran for the acquirement of Zhouranese weapons and equipment. It is also a place where Zhouran offers weapons to any client state/client group that is in need of arms. Also, clients can order while prices are negotiated.

Oh, and NO POSTING!

The NSverse is a large multiverse that can get chaotic at times. Since the political arena shifts dramatically, wars are a common sight in the NSverse. As a result, it is always important for nations to stay armed and prepared for the worse. Under orders from the People's Defense Council, the Military Technology Export Bureau has established an International Arms Trade Negotiation Board (IATNB) in order to negotiate and provide clients with Zhouranese weapons and equipment.

Nowadays in Zhouran, numerous civilian and military products, ranging from children's toys to firearms, and even warships and artificial satellites, are all built with the use of highly-sophisticated industrial-level additive manufacturing and multiaxis machining for quick, easy, efficient and precise manufacturing. As a result, Zhouranese product these days are of top-quality and have been built with extreme accuracy, leaving no room for accidents and errors.


Every nation has the right to self-defense. It is basic humans right that everyone feels safe in their homes and that any aggressors who violate and enter someone's home deserves to be punished. An armed community will always be a safe and happy community.

- Senior Marshal Kang Yingyong



Since Friday, September 29, 2017, the International Arms Trade Negotiation Board will not only promote and sell weapons and equipment to clients, but potential clients are now allowed to buy any products as long as they send a telegram to us first and negotiate which products they want.


If you want to buy products, you have to TG me first so we can negotiate. Until then, do NOT post here with your orders until negotiations are done.

Weapons Offer to Lonograd

Postby Zhouran » Tue Sep 05, 2017 8:06 am

Type 92-300 assault rifle



Image


Cartridge: 5.45×39mm
Action: Gas-operated, rotating bolt
Rate of fire: 800 rounds per minute
Muzzle velocity: 916 m/s
Effective range: 800 m
Feed system: 30 round magazine

The Type 92-300 is an assault rifle created by Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in early 2000 and commissioned in late 2002, it is an upgraded derivative of the Type 92-100 assault rifle that was designed with further improvements, upgraded features, more reliability, and increased accuracy.

A select-fire, gas-operated firearm that uses a long stroke gas piston rod coupled to the bolt carrier, the rotating bolt locks into battery via two locking lugs. The weapon's spring extractor is installed inside the bolt head and enclosed in one of the locking lugs while the ejector is a fixed protrusion of the internal bolt carrier guide rail. The rifle uses a hammer-type firing mechanism and a trigger group that enables semi-automatic and fully automatic firing modes. The ambidextrous safety/fire mode selector, which is located at the top of the pistol grip, has three positions for "safe", "semi-automatic" and "full-automatic" fire. The safe setting disables the trigger and secures the weapon from being charged.

To ensure smooth functioning inside the gas tube and increase the accuracy of the rifle, the gas piston includes small "fingers" near the piston. When fired, a portion of the propellant gases are evacuated into the gas cylinder through small holes and a channel in the gas block. The high-pressure gases drive the piston rod, which is attached to the bolt carrier, rearward. During this rearward movement, a cam slot machined into the bolt carrier engages a cam pin on the bolt and rotates the bolt, unlocking the action. The arrangement of parts on the bolt carrier assembly provides for a degree of free travel, allowing gas pressure in the barrel to drop to a safe level before unlocking. To the immediate rear of the piston head is a notched ring which provides a reduced bearing surface and alleviates excess gas build-up. As the bolt carrier travels back, it compresses the return spring guided in a hollowed section of the bolt carrier and the return energy contained in the spring drives the moving assembly back forward, stripping a new round from the magazine and locking the action. The non-reciprocating charging handle is located at the left side of the receiver.

The weapon features a side-folding skeleton-type buttstock that folds to the right side of the receiver, as well as rail mounts and a heavy barrel for increased reliability in sustained firing. The end of the barrel has a multipurpose muzzle attachment, which performs the role of a muzzle brake and flash suppressor. The Type 92-300 also uses a modified variant of the Type 95 assault rifle's operating system, which was designed to prevent heat, carbon build-up, un-burned powder, and dirt from being deposited inside the bolt assembly and the bolt carrier group, allowing for a cleaner and cooler operation, less downtime for cleaning and repair, and considerably longer life span of the rifle. Also, the weapon can function after being immersed in water and can operate in harsh environmental conditions.


Type 02-100 assault rifle



Image


Cartridge: 5.45×39mm
Action: Gas-operated, rotating bolt
Rate of fire: 700 rounds per minute
Muzzle velocity: 920 m/s
Effective range: 800 m
Feed system: 30 round magazine

The Type 02-100 is an assault rifle created by Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in early 2001 and commissioned in late 2002, it is an automatic bullpup rifle that is based on the Type 82 assault rifle, uses the operating mechanics of the Type 95 assault rifle, and features improved maneuverability and reduced weight.

A selective fire, gas-operated weapon that fires from a closed bolt, the weapon is locked with a rotary bolt with two locking lugs that lock into recesses milled into the receiver. Propellant gases are channeled through a vent in the heavy barrel to drive a long stroke piston located above the barrel in a gas cylinder to provide power to the operating system. The weapon features a self-regulating gas system and a rotary bolt breech locking mechanism that is equipped with two locking lugs, which is rotated by a helical camming groove machined into the bolt carrier that engages a control pin on the bolt. The arrangement of parts on the bolt carrier assembly provides for a degree of free travel, allowing gas pressure in the barrel to drop to a safe level before unlocking. To the immediate rear of the piston head is a notched ring which provides a reduced bearing surface and alleviates excess gas build-up. As the bolt carrier travels back, it compresses the return spring guided in a hollowed section of the bolt carrier and the return energy contained in the spring drives the moving assembly back forward, stripping a new round from the magazine and locking the action. Extraction is carried out by means of a spring-loaded extractor contained in the bolt. The cocking handle is located at the left side of the gun, above the forend, and does not reciprocate when fired, while the ejection port is located at the rear-right of the Type 02-100.

The rifle uses a modified variant of the Type 95's operating system, which was designed to prevent heat, carbon build-up, un-burned powder, and dirt from being deposited inside the bolt assembly and the bolt carrier group, allowing for a cleaner and cooler operation, less downtime for cleaning and repair, and considerably longer life span of the rifle. Also, the weapon can function after being immersed in water and can operate in harsh environmental conditions.

The ambidextrous fire mode selector is located at the rear part of the housing, near the buttpad, and has two positions for "semi-automatic" and "full-automatic" fire, while a separate safety switch, which is a cross-bolt type button, is placed at the front of the trigger guard. The safety switch disables the trigger and secures the weapon from being charged. The Type 02-100 features an integral flash suppressor and rail mounts. The machined solid steel billet action allows the weapon to be resistant to cracking, but at the cost of additional weight.


Type 03 sniper rifle



Image


Cartridge: 7.62×54mm
Action: Bolt-action
Muzzle velocity: 872 m/s
Effective range: 1,300 m
Feed system: 5 or 10 round box magazine

The Type 03 is a powerful bolt-action sniper rifle developed by Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in early 2001 and commissioned in late 2003, the weapon has been praised for its long range, high accuracy and low recoil.

The rifle uses a cold-hammer forged receiver and a free-floating heavy barrel, both providing maximum strength for minimum weight as well as excellent resistance to wear. The bolt has three massive lugs and is resistance free, while the bolt handle is designed with a large, bulbous knob that provides a firm, positive grip. The large bedding surface of the receiver is mated to a bedding block by three screws for maximum stability, ensuring a very high degree of stability.

In front of the trigger inside of the trigger guard is the safety lever, which can be operated without producing mechanical noise. The two-position safety locks the trigger mechanism, locks the bolt in closed position and blocks the firing pin. The safety is on when it is in its rearmost position. It is off when it is pushed to its most forward position. When the weapon is cocked the firing pin protrudes from the rear of the bolt-action, making it possible to feel if the weapon is ready to fire or not in poor visibility.

The base of the ergonomic forestock encompasses the bedding block with the bedding block serving as a point of attachment for a bipod. The buttstock with its pistol grip and integrated skeleton to add strength, is designed for right- and left-handed shooters. The rear of the buttstock possesses a series of spacer and angle plates to regulate the length of pull and curvature adjustments that can be tailored for the individual shooter. The buttplate is adjustable for both height and pitch, while a cheek-piece is adjustable for both height and pitch as well.


Type 05 HMG



Image


Cartridge: 12.7×108mm
Action: Gas-operated
Rate of fire: 750 rounds per minute
Muzzle velocity: 862 m/s
Effective range: 2,700 m
Feed system: 50, 100, 500, 1,000 round belts

The Type 05 is a heavy machine gun created by Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in late 2003 and commissioned in early 2005, it was designed to provide air-defense, self-defense for armed vehicles, and infantry support. The weapon can be mounted on tripods, anti-aircraft mounts, and vehicle mounts, as well as lightweight bipod mounts.

A gas-operated, air-cooled, belt-fed, automatic weapon that fires from an open bolt, the gas system consists of a gas chamber, located below the barrel, with a gas regulator and a long-stroke gas piston attached to the bolt carrier. The barrel features a cylindrical muzzle break and can be quickly replaced in the field during sustained fire. The receiver is of rectangular shape and bolt locking is achieved by lateral displacement of the entire bolt to the left side, until its locking lugs are engaged with locking recesses cut in the insert attached to the receiver wall. The bolt is linked to the bolt carrier with swinging links which control the movement of the bolt and, once the bolt is fully locked, strikes the firing pin to discharge the gun. The rear of the receiver houses a spring buffer for the bolt group.

The standard belt feed unit feeds from the right side, however the gun can be switched to left-side feed. The belt indexing mechanism is built into the feed cover, which swings up and forward for loading and unloading. Spent cartridges are ejected forward through a short tube, located to the right of the barrel. The firing mechanism of the Type 05 consists of a trigger lever with the necessary linkage to the sear, and a mechanical safety. Although fitted with iron sights, the Type 05 can be equipped with optical sights. Thanks to its relatively light weight and reduced recoil, the gun can be mounted on a lightweight mount with attached bipod legs and can be moved around by a single person without assistance.


Type 97 HMG



Image


Cartridge: 14.5×114mm
Action: Gas-operated
Rate of fire: 750 rounds per minute
Muzzle velocity: 1,044 m/s
Effective range: 3,400 m
Feed system: 50, 100, 500, 1,000 round belts

The Type 97 is a heavy machine gun created by Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in late 1995 and commissioned in early 1997, it was designed to provide air-defense, self-defense for armed vehicles, and infantry support. The weapon can be mounted on tripods, anti-aircraft mounts, and vehicle mounts.

A gas-operated, air-cooled, belt-fed, automatic weapon that fires from an open bolt, the gas system consists of a gas chamber, located below the barrel, with a gas regulator and a long-stroke gas piston attached to the bolt carrier. The barrel features a cylindrical muzzle break and can be quickly replaced in the field during sustained fire. The receiver is of rectangular shape and bolt locking is achieved by lateral displacement of the entire bolt to the left side, until its locking lugs are engaged with locking recesses cut in the insert attached to the receiver wall. The bolt is linked to the bolt carrier with swinging links which control the movement of the bolt and, once the bolt is fully locked, strikes the firing pin to discharge the gun. The rear of the receiver houses a spring buffer for the bolt group.

The standard belt feed unit feeds from the right side, however the gun can be switched to left-side feed. The belt indexing mechanism is built into the feed cover, which swings up and forward for loading and unloading. Spent cartridges are ejected forward through a short tube, located to the right of the barrel. The firing mechanism of the Type 97 consists of a trigger lever with the necessary linkage to the sear, and a mechanical safety. Although fitted with iron sights, the Type 97 can be equipped with optical sights.


Type 97 automatic grenade launcher



Image


Cartridge: 40×53mm
Action: Advanced primer ignition blowback
Rate of fire: 380 rounds per minute
Muzzle velocity: 250 m/s
Effective range: 1,700 m

The Type 97 is a 40mm belt-fed, blowback-operated, automatic grenade launcher created by Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in late 1995 and commissioned in early 1997, it was designed to attack surface targets as well as low-flying aerial targets.

The weapon fires high-velocity 40×53mm grenades at a cyclic rate of 380 rounds per minute. The grenades are placed on a belt that can be loaded from either side. The Type 97 is man-portable and can be mounted on a tripod or vehicle mount, thanks to its low recoil and light weight. An air cooled, belt-fed, blowback-operated weapon, it fires from an open bolt and uses advanced primer ignition principle to decrease peak recoil. To provide minimum of parts and maximum reliability of feeding, the Type 97 uses two-stage feed, when each round is first withdrawn rearwards from the belt on the opening stroke of the belt and then placed into T-slot cut in the bolt face; on the closing stroke, the round is already properly positioned on the bolt and is feed straight to the chamber; empty cartridge cases are ejected to the bottom as they are pushed down from the T-slot by the next cartridge.


Type 91 multiple-shot grenade launcher



The Type 91 is a lightweight multiple-shot 40mm revolver-type grenade launcher created by the Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in late 1989 and commissioned in early 1991, it was designed to fire the 40×46mm low-velocity round and provide close fire support against point and area targets. The round is designed to be effective at breaking through windows and exploding inside, blowing up doors, producing multiple casualties, destroying bunkers or emplacements, and damaging or disabling soft-skinned vehicles. Intended to significantly increase the firepower of a small group of soldiers, the launcher uses a revolver principle to achieve a high rate of accurate fire while the cylinder magazine can be loaded or unloaded rapidly to maintain the high rate of fire.

A low-velocity, shoulder-fired 40mm grenade launcher with a six-round spring-driven revolver-style cylinder magazine for 40×46mm grenades, the spring-driven cylinder rotates automatically while firing, although it must wound back up after every reloading. For reloading, the rear part of the frame, along with the pistol grip, is unlocked and then rotated sideways around the top strut of the frame, until the chambers in the cylinder are exposed for reloading. Once the cylinder is reloaded, the rear part of the frame is rotated back and locked into position. The double-action firing mechanism has a manual safety above the pistol grip.

The grenade launcher consists of a lightweight, progressively rifled barrel, sight assembly, frame with firing mechanism, spring-actuated revolving cylinder magazine, and a folding stock. The weapon has a fire selector safety switch just above the rear pistol grip which can be operated from either side. The launcher is loaded by releasing the cylinder axis pin and swinging the metal frame away from the cylinder. After the rear of the cylinder, including the pistol grip, is unlatched and pivoted counter-clockwise to expose the chambers during reloading, the cylinder is wound back up against its driving spring. The grenades are then inserted into the chambers, one-by-one since the cylinder cannot be removed, the frame closed, and the axis pin re-engaged to lock. When the trigger is pressed a double-action takes place and the firing pin is cocked and released to fire the grenade. Gas pressure on a piston unlocks the cylinder and allows the spring to rotate it until the next chamber is aligned with the firing pin, whereupon the next round can be fired. If a misfire occurs the trigger can be pulled repeatedly.

Cartridge: 40×46mm

Action: Multiple shot, double-action

Rate of fire: 3 rounds/min (rapid fire), 18 to 21 rounds/min (sustained)

Muzzle velocity: 78 m/s

Effective range: 374 m

Feed system: 6 round revolver-type swing-out cylinder magazine


Type 91 51mm mortar/grenade-launcher



The Type 91 is a 51mm close-support infantry weapon created by the 4th Artillery Plant. Commissioned in early 1991, it was designed as a handheld light-mortar/grenade-launcher hybrid that provides soldiers with a lightweight indirect-fire support weapon.

The mortar uses bombs with a method of propulsion that involves a closed combustion chamber to capture all the propulsion gases. The propellant charge is inserted into the stabilizing tail of each projectile so the weapon transmits the ignition impulse to the grenade via an enclosed internal system. This concept assures little in the way of noise, muzzle flash, smoke and without a significant thermal signature. When fired, the mortar produces little noise, making it hard to detect the launching point while high rates of sustained fire are possible as the weapon does not heat up.

Type: Mortar/grenade-launcher hybrid

Caliber: 51mm

Rate of fire: Up to 30 rounds per minute

Maximum firing range: 720 m


Type 88 multi-purpose knife bayonet



Image


The Type 88 Multi-Purpose Knife Bayonet is a bayonet created by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. Introduced in early 1988, it is a refined derivative of the Type 85 multi-purpose knife bayonet and incorporates a number of features that makes it a versatile weapon.

With a total length of 308 mm, the bayonet uses a one-piece ergonomically-grooved polymer grip with a squared-off pommel, and a 181 mm clip-point blade with saw-teeth along the spine. The Type 88 uses a polymer scabbard body that has a metal lug at the point that engages a window cut into the blade, so that the bayonet and scabbard could be combined as a wire-cutter.


Type 6222 combat helmet



The Type 6222 is a Zhouranese combat helmet created in early 1992.

A one-piece composite structure made up of twenty-one layers of synthetic fibers, the helmet offers protection to the head, temple, ear and neck areas against shrapnel and ballistic threats. It can be fitted with cloth helmet covers. The helmet uses a two-point design chinstrap with an open chincup, two adjustable buckles and a single snap fastener on the left. The cradle-type suspension of the helmet provides standoff between the head and inner helmet surface, allowing for ventilation and deformation during impact.


Type 95 Tactical Body Protection Vest



The Type 95 Tactical Body Protection Vest is a ballistic vest created by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. First tested in early 1994 and commissioned on August 15, 1995, it is an upgraded derivative of the Type 89 Tactical Body Protection Vest.

An upper torso body armor, the Type 95 is equipped with flexible soft armor vest panels that consist of a para-aramid synthetic-fiber filler encased in a nylon carrier. Although it was designed to provide protection for the user against shrapnel and reduce penetration to the body from small arms fire, the vest has the ability to stop pistol rounds.

The Type 95 features nylon equipment retention straps on each shoulder.


Type 01 Tactical Body Protection Vest



The Type 01 Tactical Body Protection Vest is a ballistic vest developed by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. First tested in late 2000 and commissioned on May 19, 2001, it consists of two main components: flexible soft-armor vest panels and two rigid silicon carbide ceramic plates, both of which provide some ballistic protection to the upper torso.

The flexible soft armor vest panels consist of a para-aramid synthetic-fiber filler encased in a nylon carrier while the ceramic plates are fabricated of 5.08 cm x 5.08 cm silicon carbide ceramic tiles. When the ceramic plates are inserted into the pockets of the vest, it protects an approximate 25.4 cm x 30.48 cm area from full-metal-jacket intermediate/full-power rifle rounds.

The Type 01 uses both a front and a back ballistic armor plate, has a small storage pocket to the front ballistic plate storage pocket, and features nylon equipment retention straps on each shoulder. A collar device that is divided in two parts, a neck and collar protector and a throat protector, as well as a groin protector and two shoulder protection plates, can be added to increase overall protection for the user.


Type 84 infantry backpack



The Type 84 infantry backpack is an external-framed pack created by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. Introduced in early 1984, it is a small to medium sized pack with an external but close-fitting steel frame with "X" cross bars through the center. Using an extremely durable plain-woven fabric, the pack has an open top with drawstring over, secured by web straps that run down the length of the pack. A tab on the flap with eyelets allow the attachment of any equipment with wire hangars. Two rectangular, flapped pockets large can be found on either side of the attachment point on the main body of the pack. Webbing points and a pair of metal eyelets on either side of the pack and above each pocket allow the attachment of items using wire hangars or slide keepers. A pair of adjustable web straps on each side and on the bottom of the ruck allow for the attachment of items such as bed rolls, shelters, and other cylindrical items. Simple padded, adjustable shoulder straps and a waist pad allow for comfortable carriage. The pack sits high on the back.


Type 81 tanker helmet



The Type 81 tanker helmet is a Zhouranese soft helmet created in early 1981.

Designed for armored-vehicle personnel, the helmet uses an extremely durable plain-woven fabric and comes with a full headset. With the headphones built into the helmet, the Type 81 also has two throat microphones for communication. The helmet can be connected to the vehicle by using a removable cable, allowing for full communication in the field. The Type 81 was designed to provide a tight fit while the headphones can provide noise reduction. The helmet is heavily padded across the forehead and on the top of the head, protecting the wearer from injury within the vehicle.

Buckled straps to the back and on the top of the helmet allow for adjustability, and buttoned headphone covers allow for easy removal of the communications system. The ear flaps can either be worn loose, or tight using a further buckled strap.


Type 05 MBT



Image


Type: Main battle tank

Weight: 50.4 tonnes

Width: 3.76 m

Crew: 3 (driver, commander, gunner)

Armor: High-hardness steel and tungsten reinforced composite armor and explosive reactive armor (ERA)

Engine: Liquid-cooled diesel engine
1,700 hp

Suspension: Torsion bar with rotary shock absorbers

Speed: 72 km/h

The Type 05 is a main battle tank created by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. First tested in late 2002 and commissioned in early 2005, it is a derivative of the Type 78 main battle tank that features further modifications such as significantly improved armor protection, upgraded electronics, a larger chassis, and a redesigned turret.

Armed with a Type 1125-99 125mm smoothbore gun, a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun, and either a 12.7mm heavy machine gun or a 14.5mm heavy anti-aircraft machine gun, the main gun has up to 38 rounds onboard and is capable of firing a variety of ammunition types including APFSDS, HEAT, HE-Frag, DU projectiles, as well as anti-tank guided missiles. The Type 05 uses a sophisticated bustle-mounted autoloader for a more-streamlined and quicker loading process of the main gun. The 12.7mm heavy machine gun/14.5mm heavy anti-aircraft machine gun has the ability to be fired from within the turret with the use of a remote-control operated by the commander. Thanks to its computerized fire control system, the tank can be operated independently by the gunner or the commander, and can offer real time integrated imaging from all of the tank's sensors and sights. The tank's computerized onboard information processing system collects information from vehicle navigation (Inertia/satellite), observation systems and sensors, processing it in the computer and displaying it on the commander's display, giving the ability of real-time command and beyond-visual-range target engaging. The gunner's all-weather day/night, stabilized, electro-optical primary sight is located on the left-side of the turret roof while the commander has a stabilized panoramic sight that is placed on the right-side of the turret. Meteorological sensors, crosswind analyzers, thermographic optics and image intensifiers give greater visibility and battlefield awareness while the combination of the gunner's primary sight and the commander's stabilized panoramic sight allows the tank to operate in a hunter-killer mode. The fire-control system uses data from the fire-control computer to compute a firing solution for the gunner. The ballistic solution generated ensures a high hit percentage.

The Type 05 uses spaced, multi-layered composite armor formed by spacing multiple layers of ceramics, plastic composites and kevlar, reinforced with high-hardness steel and tungsten sandwiched between the layers of the armor. The inside and outside of the armor has a radiation absorption liner coat. Explosive reactive armor is used for additional protection. The driver's seat is suspended from the hull roof, enhancing protection for the driver.

On the front and sides of the turret are four cylindrical armored compartments that each contain an electro-optical jammer that disrupts semi-automatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) anti-tank guided missiles, laser rangefinders and target designators. A halon firefighting system is fitted onboard to automatically extinguish fires in the crew compartment, which are activated automatically by a fire detection system or manually via a control panel in the driver's compartment.

The Type 05 is a wheeled armored personnel carrier developed by Hongyan Motor Works. First tested in early 2003 and commissioned in late 2005, it is a modified derivative of the Type 98 infantry fighting vehicle and was designed as a highly-mobile and maneuverable vehicle that could safely transport troops.

It is equipped with a remote weapon station that comes in two configurations: light and heavy. In the light configuration, the vehicle is armed with either a machine gun or automatic grenade launcher, while in heavy configuration, the vehicle is equipped with either an autocannon with a coaxial machine gun, a double/quad-mounted anti-tank guided missile launcher, or a quad/sextuple-mounted man-portable air-defense system missile launcher. The remote weapon station is operated by the gunner.

The Type 05 uses spaced, multi-layered composite armor formed by spacing multiple layers of ceramics, plastic composites and kevlar, reinforced with high-hardness steel and tungsten sandwiched between the layers of the armor. Additional armored kits can be installed on the vehicle to increase protection. Such kits include explosive reactive armor, which are added over the existing armor of the vehicle. With a strengthened underside, the bottom of the vehicle has mine protection. Inside the Type 05 is an automatic fire-extinguishing system with sensors that activate several halon fire bottles, which can also be activated manually by the driver. All the seats inside are attached to the roof for improved blast protection. The driver and gunner are located at the crew compartment on the front, with the driver seated on the left and gunner on the right, while the passenger compartment has ten seats. Passengers enter and exit the vehicle through a rear ramp door and two roof hatches.

The vehicle is fitted with a central tyre inflation system and has optional amphibious capability. Two detachable hydraulic propellers are used for propelling the vehicle in the water, while a folding trim board is stowed at the front of the hull.


Type 189 Iron Wall APS



The Type 189 "Iron Wall" is a hard-kill active protection system developed by the Scientific Military Research Bureau. First tested in early 1995 and introduced in late 1997, it was designed to intercept and destroy anti-tank weapons with flat or diving trajectories. The modular design allows the system to adapt to a range of platforms ranging from light utility vehicles to heavy armored fighting vehicles.

It consists of a fire-control radar with four flat-panel antennas mounted on the vehicle with a 360-degree field of view, and two rotating launchers installed on the sides of the vehicle. Each launcher packs four small explosive charges, which are ejected towards the target before detonating and forming a dense fragmentation ring that destroys incoming projectiles on impact. The launchers can point forward, sideways or vertically, to protect the vehicle from attacks from above. The Iron Wall system can simultaneously engage several threats coming from different directions.


Type 11 Flexible Cage Armor



The Type 11 Flexible Cage Armor is a lightweight add-on armor kit created by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. First tested in early 2010 and introduced in late 2011, it was designed to be mounted on wheeled and tracked vehicles and consists of lightweight high-hardness steel and tungsten reinforced slatted grids, elastic polymer horizontal blinds that have metallic "teeth" on the edges, and a flexible net that is connected by metal nodes. It is fully modular with a hook-and-loop installation method, allowing the system to be configured to different platforms. The armor package gives 360 degree coverage and can also provide overhead protection.

There are two variants: the triple-layered Type 11-1 and the single-layered Type 11-2.

Crew: 1

Powerplant: 2 × Type 29 afterburning turbofans, 78.4 kN thrust dry, 125.1 kN with afterburner each

Maximum speed: Mach 2.35

Range: 2,300 km

Service ceiling: 18,600 m

Rate of climb: 334 m/s

-------------------------------


Guns: 1 × Type 80 30mm gas-operated revolver cannon on the right side of the fuselage, 130 rounds

Hardpoints: 2 × wing-tip stations, 4 × underwing stations and 5 × under fuselage

The Jian-21-0-1 is a twin-engine, supermaneuverable, multirole fighter aircraft developed by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. First flew in early 1976 and commissioned in late 1979, it is a heavily-modified, smaller derivative of the Jian-21-0 that was designed as a lightweight combat aircraft with high level of agility and robust multi-role capability.

Using a delta wing design and configured with big arrow angles, continuations in the union wing-fuselage and a double derives located before the canted vertical stabilizers, the Jian-21-0-1 is an aerodynamically unstable aircraft that uses digital fly-by-wire flight controls to artificially enforce and maintain stability. The wings of the aircraft generates a vortex of high energy that improves aerodynamic yield, notably in big angles of incidence. Another characteristic of the design of the aircraft is the artificial longitudinal stability that allows the aircraft to be equilibrated by means of application of positive forces on the line planes. An aerial refuelling probe placed near the left-side of the canopy enables further range extension.

The Jian-21-0-1 is equipped with the Blue Sword (Putonghua: 蓝剑), a powerful, integrated, multi-mode dual frequency band, passive electronically scanned array radar. With a search range of 380 km, the radar can track 15 air targets and engage 4 simultaneously. The aircraft features an infrared search and track (IRST) system in the nose just forward of the cockpit, as well as an electronic warfare support measures package. Inside the cockpit, the pilot steers with a side-stick and pressure-sensing throttles. The two-grip flying control configuration was designed to prevent the pilot from losing contact with the controls when the aircraft is engaged in fast vectored-thrust maneuvers. Both the fixed throttle and the side-stick controller provide secure points for pilots to brace their hands.


Jian-23-2 fighter jet

Crew: 1

Powerplant: 2 × Type 29 afterburning turbofans, 78.4 kN thrust dry, 125.1 kN with afterburner each

Maximum speed: Mach 2.41

Range: 3,600 km

Service ceiling: 19,300 m

Rate of climb: 316 m/s

-------------------------------


Guns: 1 × Type 80 30mm gas-operated revolver cannon, 150 rounds

Hardpoints: 12 × wing and fuselage stations with a capacity of 8,000 kg of ordnance, consisting of 2 wingtip rails and 10 wing and fuselage stations

The Jian-23-2 is a twin-engine, single-seat, supermaneuverable, multirole air superiority fighter aircraft developed by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. First flew in early 1988 and commissioned in late 1991, it is a heavily-modified, modernized derivative of the Jian-23-1, featuring a modified airframe design that incorporates aerodynamic refinements with increased manoeuvrability and agility, as well as enhanced avionics.

The swept wing blends into the fuselage at the leading edge extensions and is essentially a cropped delta. A tailed delta wing configuration, the Jian-23-2 retains the conventional horizontal tailplanes, though it is not a true delta. Using a new digital fly-by-wire flight-control system, canards were added into the airframe design of the aircraft, which required reshaping of the leading edge root extensions (LERX). The canards, which are governed by the fly-by-wire control system, improves airflow over the wings and eliminates buffeting. The aircraft also incorporates a twin nose wheel while both the wings and stabilators can be folded in order to allow the Jian-23-2 to occupy less space in a confined area. Radar-absorbent material is applied to the engine inlets and the front stages of the engine compressor to halve the aircraft's frontal radar cross-section (RCS); the canopy is also modified to deflect radar waves. An aerial refuelling probe enables further range extension.

The Jian-23-2 is equipped with the White Sword (Putonghua: 白剑), a powerful, integrated, multi-mode dual frequency band, passive electronically scanned array radar. With a search range of 385 km, the radar can track 15 air targets and engage 4 simultaneously. The aircraft features an infrared search and track (IRST) system in the nose just forward of the cockpit, as well as an electronic warfare support measures package. Inside the cockpit, the pilot steers with a side-stick and pressure-sensing throttles. The two-grip flying control configuration was designed to prevent the pilot from losing contact with the controls when the aircraft is engaged in fast vectored-thrust maneuvers. Both the fixed throttle and the side-stick controller provide secure points for pilots to brace their hands.

Powerplant: 2 × Type 29-5 afterburning turbofans with thrust vectoring, 81.3 kN thrust dry, 128.6 kN with afterburner each

Maximum speed: Mach 2.45

Range: 3,600 km

Service ceiling: 19,600 m

Rate of climb: 332 m/s

-------------------------------


Guns: 1 × Type 80 30mm gas-operated revolver cannon, 150 rounds

Hardpoints: 12 × wing and fuselage stations with a capacity of 8,000 kg of ordnance, consisting of 2 wingtip rails and 10 wing and fuselage stations

The Jian-21-4 is a twin-engine, single-seat, supermaneuverable, multirole air superiority fighter aircraft developed by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. First flew in late 1998 and commissioned in early 2001, it is a modernized derivative of the Jian-21-3 that features a reinforced airframe and enhanced avionics.

The swept wing blends into the fuselage at the leading edge extensions and is essentially a cropped delta. A tailed delta wing configuration, the Jian-21-4 retains the conventional horizontal tailplanes, though it is not a true delta. Using a new digital fly-by-wire flight-control system, canards were added into the airframe design of the aircraft, which required reshaping of the leading edge root extensions (LERX). The canards, which are governed by the fly-by-wire control system, improves airflow over the wings and eliminates buffeting. The aircraft also incorporates a twin nose wheel and larger tail fins with square-topped tips. Radar-absorbent material is applied to the engine inlets and the front stages of the engine compressor to halve the aircraft's frontal radar cross-section (RCS); the canopy is also modified to deflect radar waves. An aerial refuelling probe enables further range extension.

The aircraft's Type 29-5 afterburning turbofan engines, which is an upgraded variant of the Type 29, features thrust-vectoring capability. Each thrust vectoring (TVC) nozzle has its rotational axis canted at an angle. Thrust vectoring nozzles themselves operate in only one plane, but the canting allows the aircraft to produce both roll and yaw by vectoring each engine nozzle differently; this allows the aircraft to create thrust vectoring moments about all three rotational axes, pitch, yaw and roll. The engine not only incorporates a thrust-vectoring nozzle but also is resistant to engine surge even during inverted and flat spins, giving better reliability and maneuverability even when the angle of attack is 180°.

The Jian-21-4 is equipped with the Black Sword (Putonghua: 黑剑), a powerful, integrated, digital multi-mode dual frequency band, passive electronically scanned array radar. With a search range of 400 km, the radar can track 15 air targets and engage 4 simultaneously. The aircraft features an infrared search and track (IRST) system in the nose just forward of the cockpit, as well as an electronic warfare support measures package. Inside the cockpit, the pilot steers with a side-stick and pressure-sensing throttles. The two-grip flying control configuration was designed to prevent the pilot from losing contact with the controls when the aircraft is engaged in fast vectored-thrust maneuvers. Both the fixed throttle and the side-stick controller provide secure points for pilots to brace their hands.

Hardpoints: 12 × wing and fuselage stations with a capacity of 8,400 kg of ordnance, consisting of 2 wingtip rails, and 10 wing and fuselage stations, can be increased to 14 using multiple ejector racks

The Jian-26-0-2 is a twin-engine, two-seat, supermaneuverable, heavy multirole strike fighter aircraft built by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. First flew in late 1991, the aircraft was commissioned in early 1993. A heavily-modified derivative of the Jian-26-0-1, the aircraft features longer range, and strengthened undercarriage and airframe. As a long-range, high speed, heavy strike aircraft, the Jian-26-0-2 is designed primarily for deep strike and close air support roles.

The swept wing blends into the fuselage at the leading edge extensions and is essentially a cropped delta. The Jian-26-0-2 is also an example of a tailed delta wing configuration, retaining conventional horizontal tailplanes, though it is not a true delta. The aircraft incorporates a fly-by-wire control system and reinforced airframe and undercarriage. The canards, which required reshaping of the leading edge root extensions (LERX), increases manoeuvrability and deflects automatically to allow high angle of attack (AoA) flights. Radar-absorbent material is applied to the engine inlets and the front stages of the engine compressor to halve the aircraft's frontal radar cross-section (RCS); the canopy is also modified to deflect radar waves.

The aircraft's Type 29-5 afterburning turbofan engines, which is an upgraded variant of the Type 29, features thrust-vectoring capability.

The Jian-26-0-2 also has an infrared search and track (IRST) system in the nose just forward of the cockpit.


Type 350 IHDSS



Image


The Type 350 Integrated Helmet Display Sighting System is a helmet-mounted display system developed by the Scientific Military Research Bureau. First tested in late 1989 and introduced in early 1992, it is an upgraded derivative of the Type 340 IHDSS.

Designed to be fitted on a flight helmet and allow pilots to obtain situation awareness and cue weapons systems to the direction their head is pointing, the Type 350 was created to be closely integrated with a combat aircraft's weapon system and operate in all-weather day/night flight environments. The system employs a quick digital processing package while retaining the same type of electromagnetic position sensing as the Type 340. Although the cathode ray tube package is very capable, it is limited to monochrome presentation of calligraphic symbology. The Type 350 provides support for raster scanned imagery to display forward looking infrared (FLIR)/infra-red search and track (IRST) pictures for night operations and provides collimated symbology and imagery to the pilot. Integrated position sensing ensures that symbols representing outside-world entities move in line with the pilot's head movements.


Type 1979 airborne ECM system



The Type 1979 Airborne Electronic Countermeasures System is an aircraft-mounted electronic countermeasures system created by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. Introduced in early 1979, it consists of two thin pods and was designed for radio direction-finding and probing signal source irradiation, allowing the system to distort reflected signal parameters. This helps to delay aircraft detection; mask the true subject against false reflections; cause range-finding difficulties, namely in speed and angular positions; and increase the time and difficulty of capturing an object during real-time active scanning.


Type 520 navigation and targeting pod system



The Type 520 is a combined navigation and targeting pod system for use on on combat aircraft. Developed by the 15th Electronics Institute, it was tested in early 1986 and commissioned in late 1988. The Type 520 significantly increases the combat effectiveness of a combat aircraft, allowing it to fly at low altitudes, at night and under-the-weather to attack ground targets with a variety of precision-guided weapons.

The system consists of two pods; the Type 520-1 and Type 520-2. The Type 520-1 navigation pod provides high-speed penetration and precision attack on tactical targets at night and in adverse weather. The navigation pod also contains a terrain-following radar and a fixed infrared sensor, which provides a visual cue and input to the aircraft's flight control system, enabling it to maintain a pre-selected altitude above the terrain and avoid obstacles. This sensor displays an infrared image of the terrain in front of the aircraft, to the pilot, on a Head-Up Display. The navigation pod enables the pilot to fly along the general contour of the terrain at high speed, using mountains, valleys and the cover of darkness to avoid detection.

The Type 520-2 targeting pod contains a high-resolution, forward-looking infrared sensor, which displays an infrared image of the target to the pilot, a laser designator/rangefinder for precise delivery of laser-guided munitions, and software for automatic target tracking.


Type 89 Guided Precision Strike Kit



The Type 89 Guided Precision Strike is a guidance kit developed by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. First tested in late 1987 and commissioned in early 1989, the guidance package converts air-droppable unguided bombs into precision guided bombs and consists of a frontal guidance kit and a rear-mounted range extension kit with a rocket booster, matched to a dumb bomb. The Type 89 uses a semi-active laser seeker combined with a hybrid inertial navigation/satellite guidance. This allows any bomb to achieve a 1.1 m accuracy. Front control canards and rear wings are used for stability. The weapon guides on reflected laser energy, with the seeker detecting the reflected light of the designating laser, and actuates the canards to guide the bomb toward the designated point. A bomb fitted with the Type 89 guidance kit can achieve a range of around 20 km when using laser-guidance only, and 60 km when using laser-guidance combined with hybrid inertial/satellite guidance.


Type 84 general-purpose bomb series



The Type 84 general-purpose bomb series is a series of air-dropped unguided bombs created by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. Introduced in early 1984, they are built in five sizes: 120 kg (Type 84-120), 250 kg (Type 84-250), 460 kg (Type 84-460), 1,000 kg (Type 84-1000), and 4,000 kg (Type 84-4000). The bombs are streamlined, have nose and tail fuze wells that can accept a variety of fuzes, and have a length-to-diameter ratio of about 8:1 for minimal drag. Various nose and tail kits can be fitted to adapt the weapon for a variety of roles, and for low-altitude attacks, bombs can be fitted with parachutes, ballutes, or drag-inducing fins in order to slow their descent and allow the aircraft to get clear of the blast zone. The Type 84 series can also accept a variety of explosive material options.


Type 88-1 SRAAM



Image


Warhead: 14.8 kg annular blast-frag

Engine: Solid-propellent rocket engine

Maximum range: 41.7 km

Maximum speed: Mach 3.1

Guidance system: Infrared homing

The Type 88-1 is a short-range, infrared homing air-to-air missile developed by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. First tested in late 1994 and commissioned in early 1996, it is a modernized variant of the Type 88 short-range air-to-air missile, featuring all-aspect capability, all-around higher performance, and a more powerful solid-propellant rocket motor, as well as tracking maneuvering ability.

Featuring a sophisticated heat sensor and control systems, the missile has the ability to attack from all angles, including head-on. An advanced active optical fuze increases the missile's lethality and resistance to electronic countermeasures, while a conical scan seeker increases seeker sensitivity and improves tracking stability. The Type 88-1 has a length of 3.05 m, features the capability to operate against infrared countermeasures, has enhanced background discrimination capability, and is equipped with a reduced-smoke rocket motor.


Type 95 MRAAM



Image


Warhead: 21 kg HE-fragmentation

Engine: Solid-propellent rocket engine

Maximum range: 112 km

Maximum speed: Mach 4.8

Guidance system: Inertial navigation system and data-link (mid-course), active radar homing (terminal phase)

The Type 95 is an advanced beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) capable of all-weather day-and-night operations. Built by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries, it was first tested in late 1992 and entered service in early 1995. The missile has fire-and-forget capability and is capable of engaging low-altitude targets.

The missile has different engagement modes. To take the greatest advantage of its maximum range it uses a mix of command guidance (via a datalink) plus its own inertial guidance before entering the active radar terminal guidance phase. The missile can also be launched to a pre-selected point, using its strap-down inertial system, before switching on its own seeker for a terminal search. Over short ranges the missile can be launched in a "fire-and-forget" mode using its own active seeker from the outset. Finally, the Type 95 has a "home-on-jam" mode, giving it the ability to switch over from active radar homing to passive homing – homing on jamming signals from the target aircraft. Software on board the missile allows it to detect if it is being jammed, and guide on its target using the proper guidance system.


Type 85 ASM

Weapons Offer to Nueva Philippines

Postby Zhouran » Wed Apr 04, 2018 3:54 am

Type 92-400 assault rifle



Image


Cartridge: 7.62×39mm
Action: Gas-operated, rotating bolt
Rate of fire: 750 rounds per minute
Muzzle velocity: 740 m/s
Effective range: 800 m
Feed system: 30 round magazine

The Type 92-400 is an assault rifle created by Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in early 2000 and commissioned in late 2002, it is an upgraded derivative of the Type 92-100 assault rifle that fires the 7.62×39mm cartridge and was designed with further improvements, upgraded features, more reliability, and increased accuracy.

A select-fire, gas-operated firearm that uses a long stroke gas piston rod coupled to the bolt carrier, the rotating bolt locks into battery via two locking lugs. The weapon's spring extractor is installed inside the bolt head and enclosed in one of the locking lugs while the ejector is a fixed protrusion of the internal bolt carrier guide rail. The rifle uses a hammer-type firing mechanism and a trigger group that enables semi-automatic and fully automatic firing modes. The ambidextrous safety/fire mode selector, which is located at the top of the pistol grip, has three positions for "safe", "semi-automatic" and "full-automatic" fire. The safe setting disables the trigger and secures the weapon from being charged.

To ensure smooth functioning inside the gas tube and increase the accuracy of the rifle, the gas piston includes small "fingers" near the piston. When fired, a portion of the propellant gases are evacuated into the gas cylinder through small holes and a channel in the gas block. The high-pressure gases drive the piston rod, which is attached to the bolt carrier, rearward. During this rearward movement, a cam slot machined into the bolt carrier engages a cam pin on the bolt and rotates the bolt, unlocking the action. The arrangement of parts on the bolt carrier assembly provides for a degree of free travel, allowing gas pressure in the barrel to drop to a safe level before unlocking. To the immediate rear of the piston head is a notched ring which provides a reduced bearing surface and alleviates excess gas build-up. As the bolt carrier travels back, it compresses the return spring guided in a hollowed section of the bolt carrier and the return energy contained in the spring drives the moving assembly back forward, stripping a new round from the magazine and locking the action. The non-reciprocating charging handle is located at the left side of the receiver.

The weapon features a side-folding skeleton-type buttstock that folds to the right side of the receiver, as well as rail mounts and a heavy barrel for increased reliability in sustained firing. The end of the barrel has a multipurpose muzzle attachment, which performs the role of a muzzle brake and flash suppressor. The Type 92-400 also uses a modified variant of the Type 95 assault rifle's operating system, which was designed to prevent heat, carbon build-up, un-burned powder, and dirt from being deposited inside the bolt assembly and the bolt carrier group, allowing for a cleaner and cooler operation, less downtime for cleaning and repair, and considerably longer life span of the rifle. Also, the weapon can function after being immersed in water and can operate in harsh environmental conditions.


Type 02-100 assault rifle



Image


Cartridge: 5.45×39mm
Action: Gas-operated, rotating bolt
Rate of fire: 700 rounds per minute
Muzzle velocity: 920 m/s
Effective range: 800 m
Feed system: 30 round magazine

The Type 02-100 is an assault rifle created by Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in early 2001 and commissioned in late 2002, it is an automatic bullpup rifle that is based on the Type 82 assault rifle, uses the operating mechanics of the Type 95 assault rifle, and features improved maneuverability and reduced weight.

A selective fire, gas-operated weapon that fires from a closed bolt, the weapon is locked with a rotary bolt with two locking lugs that lock into recesses milled into the receiver. Propellant gases are channeled through a vent in the heavy barrel to drive a long stroke piston located above the barrel in a gas cylinder to provide power to the operating system. The weapon features a self-regulating gas system and a rotary bolt breech locking mechanism that is equipped with two locking lugs, which is rotated by a helical camming groove machined into the bolt carrier that engages a control pin on the bolt. The arrangement of parts on the bolt carrier assembly provides for a degree of free travel, allowing gas pressure in the barrel to drop to a safe level before unlocking. To the immediate rear of the piston head is a notched ring which provides a reduced bearing surface and alleviates excess gas build-up. As the bolt carrier travels back, it compresses the return spring guided in a hollowed section of the bolt carrier and the return energy contained in the spring drives the moving assembly back forward, stripping a new round from the magazine and locking the action. Extraction is carried out by means of a spring-loaded extractor contained in the bolt. The cocking handle is located at the left side of the gun, above the forend, and does not reciprocate when fired, while the ejection port is located at the rear-right of the Type 02-100.

The rifle uses a modified variant of the Type 95's operating system, which was designed to prevent heat, carbon build-up, un-burned powder, and dirt from being deposited inside the bolt assembly and the bolt carrier group, allowing for a cleaner and cooler operation, less downtime for cleaning and repair, and considerably longer life span of the rifle. Also, the weapon can function after being immersed in water and can operate in harsh environmental conditions.

The ambidextrous fire mode selector is located at the rear part of the housing, near the buttpad, and has two positions for "semi-automatic" and "full-automatic" fire, while a separate safety switch, which is a cross-bolt type button, is placed at the front of the trigger guard. The safety switch disables the trigger and secures the weapon from being charged. The Type 02-100 features an integral flash suppressor and rail mounts. The machined solid steel billet action allows the weapon to be resistant to cracking, but at the cost of additional weight.


Type 01-400 assault rifle



Image


Cartridge: 5.45×39mm
Action: Gas-operated short-stroke, rotating bolt
Rate of fire: 800 rounds per minute
Muzzle velocity: 926 m/s
Effective range: 800 m
Feed system: 30 round magazine

The Type 01-400 is an assault rifle developed by the Ningjing Munitions Factory. Tested in late 2005 and commissioned in early 2007, it is a further development of the Type 01-200 assault rifle that is chambered in 5.45×39mm and was designed as a lightweight firearm with enhanced ergonomics, reliability, firepower and accuracy.

Using an inverted U-shaped receiver, along with a bolt group, return spring, heavy barrel for increased reliability in sustained firing, and gas system, the internal mechanics of the rifle prevents heat, carbon build-up, un-burned powder, and dirt from being deposited inside, allowing a clean and efficient operation and resulting in less downtime for cleaning and repair, and considerably longer life span, as well as allowing the weapon to fire underwater and operate in harsh environmental conditions. The Type 01-400 is operated using a short stroke gas piston, which is located above the barrel, and its gas system has a manual gas regulator. Breech lock is achieved by a conventional rotary bolt with seven radial lugs that lock into the barrel extension. The ejection window is located on the right side of the receiver and a reciprocating detachable charging handle can be installed on either side of the receiver.

Designed with a side-folding retractable stock with a height-adjustable cheek piece, the rifle features an ambidextrous safety/fire mode selector that is located at the top of the pistol grip, and an ambidextrous magazine release button located in front of the trigger guard. A bolt stop release button is located on the underside of the stock, behind the magazine housing.


Type 72-400 battle rifle



Image


Cartridge: 7.62×54mm
Action: Gas-operated, rotating bolt
Rate of fire: 700 rounds per minute
Muzzle velocity: 940 m/s
Effective range: 1,180 m
Feed system: 20, 30 round curved box magazine

The Type 72-400 is a battle rifle created by Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in early 2003 and commissioned in late 2004, it is a battle rifle derivative of the Type 72-300 assault rifle that fires the full-power 7.62×54mm cartridge and was designed as a highly-reliable weapon that could provide efficient firepower and range.

A select-fire, gas-operated firearm that uses a long stroke gas piston rod coupled to the bolt carrier, the rotating bolt locks into battery via two locking lugs. The weapon's spring extractor is installed inside the bolt head and enclosed in one of the locking lugs while the ejector is a fixed protrusion of the internal bolt carrier guide rail. The rifle uses a hammer-type firing mechanism and a trigger group that enables semi-automatic and fully automatic firing modes. The fire mode selector bar, which is also the manual safety toggle, is present on both sides of the receiver and has three positions for "safe", "semi-automatic" and "full-automatic" fire. The safe setting disables the trigger and secures the weapon from being charged.

To ensure smooth functioning inside the gas tube and increase the accuracy of the rifle, the gas piston includes small "fingers" near the piston. When fired, a portion of the propellant gases are evacuated into the gas cylinder through small holes and a channel in the gas block. The high-pressure gases drive the piston rod, which is attached to the bolt carrier, rearward. During this rearward movement, a cam slot machined into the bolt carrier engages a cam pin on the bolt and rotates the bolt, unlocking the action. The arrangement of parts on the bolt carrier assembly provides for a degree of free travel, allowing gas pressure in the barrel to drop to a safe level before unlocking. To the immediate rear of the piston head is a notched ring which provides a reduced bearing surface and alleviates excess gas build-up. As the bolt carrier travels back, it compresses the return spring guided in a hollowed section of the bolt carrier and the return energy contained in the spring drives the moving assembly back forward, stripping a new round from the magazine and locking the action.

The weapon features a side-folding buttstock and a rail mount, as well as a heavy barrel for increased reliability in sustained firing. The end of the barrel has a multipurpose muzzle attachment, which performs the role of a muzzle brake and flash suppressor. The Type 72-400 also uses a modified variant of the Type 95 assault rifle's operating system, which was designed to prevent heat, carbon build-up, un-burned powder, and dirt from being deposited inside the bolt assembly and the bolt carrier group, allowing for a cleaner and cooler operation, less downtime for cleaning and repair, and considerably longer life span of the rifle. Also, the weapon can function after being immersed in water and can operate in harsh environmental conditions


Type 03 sniper rifle



Image


Cartridge: 7.62×54mm
Action: Bolt-action
Muzzle velocity: 872 m/s
Effective range: 1,300 m
Feed system: 5 or 10 round box magazine

The Type 03 is a powerful bolt-action sniper rifle developed by Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in early 2001 and commissioned in late 2003, the weapon has been praised for its long range, high accuracy and low recoil.

The rifle uses a cold-hammer forged receiver and a free-floating heavy barrel, both providing maximum strength for minimum weight as well as excellent resistance to wear. The bolt has three massive lugs and is resistance free, while the bolt handle is designed with a large, bulbous knob that provides a firm, positive grip. The large bedding surface of the receiver is mated to a bedding block by three screws for maximum stability, ensuring a very high degree of stability.

In front of the trigger inside of the trigger guard is the safety lever, which can be operated without producing mechanical noise. The two-position safety locks the trigger mechanism, locks the bolt in closed position and blocks the firing pin. The safety is on when it is in its rearmost position. It is off when it is pushed to its most forward position. When the weapon is cocked the firing pin protrudes from the rear of the bolt-action, making it possible to feel if the weapon is ready to fire or not in poor visibility.

The base of the ergonomic forestock encompasses the bedding block with the bedding block serving as a point of attachment for a bipod. The buttstock with its pistol grip and integrated skeleton to add strength, is designed for right- and left-handed shooters. The rear of the buttstock possesses a series of spacer and angle plates to regulate the length of pull and curvature adjustments that can be tailored for the individual shooter. The buttplate is adjustable for both height and pitch, while a cheek-piece is adjustable for both height and pitch as well.

Rate of fire: 800 rounds per minute
Muzzle velocity: 868 m/s
Effective range: 2,800 m
Feed system: 50, 100, 500, 1,000 round belts

The Type 94-100 is a heavy machine gun created by Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in early 2004 and commissioned in late 2005, it is a modernized derivative of the Type 94 heavy machine gun and was designed to provide air-defense, self-defense for armed vehicles, and infantry support. The weapon can be mounted on tripods, anti-aircraft mounts, and vehicle mounts, as well as lightweight bipod mounts.

A gas-operated, air-cooled, belt-fed, automatic weapon that fires from an open bolt, the gas system consists of a gas chamber, located below the barrel, with a gas regulator and a long-stroke gas piston attached to the bolt carrier. The barrel features a cylindrical muzzle break and can be quickly replaced in the field during sustained fire. The receiver is of rectangular shape and bolt locking is achieved by lateral displacement of the entire bolt to the left side, until its locking lugs are engaged with locking recesses cut in the insert attached to the receiver wall. The bolt is linked to the bolt carrier with swinging links which control the movement of the bolt and, once the bolt is fully locked, strikes the firing pin to discharge the gun. The rear of the receiver houses a spring buffer for the bolt group.

The standard belt feed unit feeds from the right side, however the gun can be switched to left-side feed. The belt indexing mechanism is built into the feed cover, which swings up and forward for loading and unloading. Spent cartridges are ejected forward through a short tube, located to the right of the barrel. The firing mechanism of the Type 94-100 consists of a trigger lever with the necessary linkage to the sear, and a mechanical safety. Although fitted with iron sights, the Type 94-100 can be equipped with optical sights. Thanks to its relatively light weight and reduced recoil, the gun can be mounted on a lightweight mount with attached bipod legs and can be moved around by a single person without assistance.

Type 97 automatic grenade launcher



Image


Cartridge: 40×53mm
Action: Advanced primer ignition blowback
Rate of fire: 380 rounds per minute
Muzzle velocity: 250 m/s
Effective range: 1,700 m

The Type 97 is a 40mm belt-fed, blowback-operated, automatic grenade launcher created by Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in late 1995 and commissioned in early 1997, it was designed to attack surface targets as well as low-flying aerial targets.

The weapon fires high-velocity 40×53mm grenades at a cyclic rate of 380 rounds per minute. The grenades are placed on a belt that can be loaded from either side. The Type 97 is man-portable and can be mounted on a tripod or vehicle mount, thanks to its low recoil and light weight. An air cooled, belt-fed, blowback-operated weapon, it fires from an open bolt and uses advanced primer ignition principle to decrease peak recoil. To provide minimum of parts and maximum reliability of feeding, the Type 97 uses two-stage feed, when each round is first withdrawn rearwards from the belt on the opening stroke of the belt and then placed into T-slot cut in the bolt face; on the closing stroke, the round is already properly positioned on the bolt and is feed straight to the chamber; empty cartridge cases are ejected to the bottom as they are pushed down from the T-slot by the next cartridge.


Type 91 multiple-shot grenade launcher



The Type 91 is a lightweight multiple-shot 40mm revolver-type grenade launcher created by the Ningjing Munitions Factory. First tested in late 1989 and commissioned in early 1991, it was designed to fire the 40×46mm low-velocity round and provide close fire support against point and area targets. The round is designed to be effective at breaking through windows and exploding inside, blowing up doors, producing multiple casualties, destroying bunkers or emplacements, and damaging or disabling soft-skinned vehicles. Intended to significantly increase the firepower of a small group of soldiers, the launcher uses a revolver principle to achieve a high rate of accurate fire while the cylinder magazine can be loaded or unloaded rapidly to maintain the high rate of fire.

A low-velocity, shoulder-fired 40mm grenade launcher with a six-round spring-driven revolver-style cylinder magazine for 40×46mm grenades, the spring-driven cylinder rotates automatically while firing, although it must wound back up after every reloading. For reloading, the rear part of the frame, along with the pistol grip, is unlocked and then rotated sideways around the top strut of the frame, until the chambers in the cylinder are exposed for reloading. Once the cylinder is reloaded, the rear part of the frame is rotated back and locked into position. The double-action firing mechanism has a manual safety above the pistol grip.

The grenade launcher consists of a lightweight, progressively rifled barrel, sight assembly, frame with firing mechanism, spring-actuated revolving cylinder magazine, and a folding stock. The weapon has a fire selector safety switch just above the rear pistol grip which can be operated from either side. The launcher is loaded by releasing the cylinder axis pin and swinging the metal frame away from the cylinder. After the rear of the cylinder, including the pistol grip, is unlatched and pivoted counter-clockwise to expose the chambers during reloading, the cylinder is wound back up against its driving spring. The grenades are then inserted into the chambers, one-by-one since the cylinder cannot be removed, the frame closed, and the axis pin re-engaged to lock. When the trigger is pressed a double-action takes place and the firing pin is cocked and released to fire the grenade. Gas pressure on a piston unlocks the cylinder and allows the spring to rotate it until the next chamber is aligned with the firing pin, whereupon the next round can be fired. If a misfire occurs the trigger can be pulled repeatedly.

Cartridge: 40×46mm

Action: Multiple shot, double-action

Rate of fire: 3 rounds/min (rapid fire), 18 to 21 rounds/min (sustained)

Muzzle velocity: 78 m/s

Effective range: 374 m

Feed system: 6 round revolver-type swing-out cylinder magazine


Type 91 51mm mortar/grenade-launcher



The Type 91 is a 51mm close-support infantry weapon created by the 4th Artillery Plant. Commissioned in early 1991, it was designed as a handheld light-mortar/grenade-launcher hybrid that provides soldiers with a lightweight indirect-fire support weapon.

The mortar uses bombs with a method of propulsion that involves a closed combustion chamber to capture all the propulsion gases. The propellant charge is inserted into the stabilizing tail of each projectile so the weapon transmits the ignition impulse to the grenade via an enclosed internal system. This concept assures little in the way of noise, muzzle flash, smoke and without a significant thermal signature. When fired, the mortar produces little noise, making it hard to detect the launching point while high rates of sustained fire are possible as the weapon does not heat up.

Type: Mortar/grenade-launcher hybrid

Caliber: 51mm

Rate of fire: Up to 30 rounds per minute

Maximum firing range: 720 m


Type 88 multi-purpose knife bayonet



Image

First tested in late 2002 and commissioned in early 2005, it is a derivative of the Type 78 main battle tank that features further modifications such as significantly improved armor protection, upgraded electronics, a larger chassis, and a redesigned turret.

Armed with a Type 1125-99 125mm smoothbore gun, a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun, and either a 12.7mm heavy machine gun or a 14.5mm heavy anti-aircraft machine gun, the main gun has up to 38 rounds onboard and is capable of firing a variety of ammunition types including APFSDS, HEAT, HE-Frag, DU projectiles, as well as anti-tank guided missiles. The Type 05 uses a sophisticated bustle-mounted autoloader for a more-streamlined and quicker loading process of the main gun. The 12.7mm heavy machine gun/14.5mm heavy anti-aircraft machine gun has the ability to be fired from within the turret with the use of a remote-control operated by the commander. Thanks to its computerized fire control system, the tank can be operated independently by the gunner or the commander, and can offer real time integrated imaging from all of the tank's sensors and sights. The tank's computerized onboard information processing system collects information from vehicle navigation (Inertia/satellite), observation systems and sensors, processing it in the computer and displaying it on the commander's display, giving the ability of real-time command and beyond-visual-range target engaging. The gunner's all-weather day/night, stabilized, electro-optical primary sight is located on the left-side of the turret roof while the commander has a stabilized panoramic sight that is placed on the right-side of the turret. Meteorological sensors, crosswind analyzers, thermographic optics and image intensifiers give greater visibility and battlefield awareness while the combination of the gunner's primary sight and the commander's stabilized panoramic sight allows the tank to operate in a hunter-killer mode. The fire-control system uses data from the fire-control computer to compute a firing solution for the gunner. The ballistic solution generated ensures a high hit percentage.

The Type 05 uses spaced, multi-layered composite armor formed by spacing multiple layers of ceramics, plastic composites and kevlar, reinforced with high-hardness steel and tungsten sandwiched between the layers of the armor. The inside and outside of the armor has a radiation absorption liner coat. Explosive reactive armor is used for additional protection. The driver's seat is suspended from the hull roof, enhancing protection for the driver.

On the front and sides of the turret are four cylindrical armored compartments that each contain an electro-optical jammer that disrupts semi-automatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) anti-tank guided missiles, laser rangefinders and target designators. A halon firefighting system is fitted onboard to automatically extinguish fires in the crew compartment, which are activated automatically by a fire detection system or manually via a control panel in the driver's compartment.

The Type 189 "Iron Wall" is a hard-kill active protection system developed by the Scientific Military Research Bureau. First tested in early 1995 and introduced in late 1997, it was designed to intercept and destroy anti-tank weapons with flat or diving trajectories. The modular design allows the system to adapt to a range of platforms ranging from light utility vehicles to heavy armored fighting vehicles.

It consists of a fire-control radar with four flat-panel antennas mounted on the vehicle with a 360-degree field of view, and two rotating launchers installed on the sides of the vehicle. Each launcher packs four small explosive charges, which are ejected towards the target before detonating and forming a dense fragmentation ring that destroys incoming projectiles on impact. The launchers can point forward, sideways or vertically, to protect the vehicle from attacks from above. The Iron Wall system can simultaneously engage several threats coming from different directions.


Type 11 Flexible Cage Armor



The Type 11 Flexible Cage Armor is a lightweight add-on armor kit created by Yongsheng Heavy Machinery Industries. First tested in early 2010 and introduced in late 2011, it was designed to be mounted on wheeled and tracked vehicles and consists of lightweight high-hardness steel and tungsten reinforced slatted grids, elastic polymer horizontal blinds that have metallic "teeth" on the edges, and a flexible net that is connected by metal nodes. It is fully modular with a hook-and-loop installation method, allowing the system to be configured to different platforms. The armor package gives 360 degree coverage and can also provide overhead protection.

There are two variants: the triple-layered Type 11-1 and the single-layered Type 11-2.
