Qbz-95b

The QBZ-95B in reality.

The QBZ-95B is a shortened carbine variant of the Chinese QBZ-95 assault rifle. Its shortened barrel length improves portability and handling, at the cost of effective range. It is in use by vehicle crewmen, naval crew, and special forces within the PLA.

It is known as the Type 97 in Battlefield 2.

Battlefield 2

"The Type 95 carbine is the latest addition to the PLA armoury. It is a light-weight, air-cooled assault rifle built of polymer materials which fires 5.8mm rounds from a 30 round magazine."

— In-game description

In Battlefield 2, the QBZ-97 is the standard primary weapon of the Spec Forces kit for the PLA. Like the SCAR-L, the QBZ-97 possesses a spread modifier for prone, as well as crouching and standing, though instead of being less accurate than the minimum, the QBZ-97 in prone has the same spread value as when the weapon is zoomed. It lacks an optic, but it does have the lowest spread values out of the carbines, and has relatively low visual recoil values.

Battlefield 3

"Standard service rifle of the Chinese armed forces."

— Battlelog description

The QBZ-95B is a weapon introduced in the Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand expansion and is unlocked upon the completion of the It Goes Boom! assignment.

The weapon is similar in handling to the AKS-74u. Vertical recoil is very manageable, but horizontal recoil can prove to be a problem (although in October 27, 2012, this issue was patched to provide a more controlled pattern). It has a slow firing speed at 650 rpm, comparable to the AKS-74u. Its iron sights are similar to the QBB-95.

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. The weapon itself is quite accurate and has a small crosshair. Its damage is comparable to most other carbines, but has one of the longer reloads.


Battlefield 4

The Type-95B-1 is a carbine featured in Battlefield 4. The QBZ-95B-1 has one of the highest stability stats of the Carbines, however it's low rate of fire makes it suffer in close quarter battles. It's bullpup nature allows for a slightly greater hip fire accuracy compared to other carbines making it better for close quarter battles if one has a high powered optic. The sights are clear, identical to that of the QBZ-95-1.

Prior to a patch, the Type-95B-1 had a higher rate of fire at 800 rounds per minute, but this was reduced to 650 rounds per minute for balancing purposes.

Trivia

  • In Battlefield 3, the laser sight attachment was placed on the left side of the gun (prior to the 1.04 patch), resulting in the fingers clipping through it while attempting a full reload
  • When diving with the QBZ-95B, the magazine will clip through the players right arm.
  • Unlike any other weapons in Battlefield 3, the QBZ-95B can equip either the Laser Sight or the Flashlight in addition to the Heavy Barrel, Suppressor, or Flash Suppressor attachments, compensating for the fact that it has no Foregrip or Bipod attachments.
