The QBZ-95 in real life.
The QBZ-95 (Chinese: 轻武器步枪自动一九九五 Qīngwǔqì Bùqiāng Zìdòng, 1995; English: Light weapon, Rifle, Automatic, 1995), or Type 95, is a Chinese assault rifle designed in 1995 and manufactured by Norinco and Jianshe Corp(Chinese: 北方工业公司), China South. It is in service with the People's Liberation Army. It uses the Chinese 5.8x42mm DBP87 cartridge with a typically 30 round magazine, has a rate of fire of around 650 rounds per minute and an effective range of 400 meters, with a maximum range of 600 meters. It also has a specialized and optional 4x telescopic sight.
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
In Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, the Type 95 is issued to PLA Assault soldiers. It has a moderate rate of fire, a 30 round magazine, high damage and good accuracy. It can kill in a single head shot and is effective as a sharpshooting weapon with its ACOG-like scope. It also has a Type 91 attached to it. Blind firing for head shots and the grenade launcher can easily dispose of a large group of enemies.
In multiplayer, it is issued to the PLA Assault kit and can be used similarly to how it's used in singleplayer.

Battlefield 3
— Battlelog description
The QBZ-95 makes a second appearance in Battlefield 3 as the QBZ-95B.[1] To unlock the 95B, the first engineer assignment, Fixing It, must have already been completed. Once it is done, the second assignment, It Goes Boom!, which unlocks the 95B, is unlocked. It can be completed by destroying a vehicle with the Repair Tool, killing 50 enemies with AT Rockets, and winning 5 Conquest rounds.
The weapon is similar in handling to the AKS-74u. Recoil is quite mild, but operators can lose their target if firing fully automatically. It has a slow firing speed at 650 rpm, comparable to the SCAR-H but in return, has a very fast bullet velocity at 630m/s, making it much easier to hit targets. Its iron sights are similar to the QBB-95, very clear and easy to use. Due to its short length it cannot be equipped with a bipod. The weapon has a foregrip already attached, and after the March 2012 patch this properly affects weapon handling.
Unlike any other carbine, rifle, or machine gun, the QBZ-95B can equip either the Laser Sight or the Flashlight in addition to the Heavy Barrel, Suppressor, or Flash Suppressor. Also, it always has a functional foregrip. This gives it a considerable advantage in situational versatility over other Carbines. Overall, this gun seems to be more favouring accuracy then brute force.

Trivia
- The QBZ-95B in Battlefield 3 was originally going to be the Type 97.
- The Battlelog description states that the QBZ-95 is the standard service rifle of the PLA. In real life, it is actually a carbine specifically for spec-op units of the PLA. This variants of the QBZ would fit the description though.
