Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! shop.bbtv.com/c...
Today it's time to take the Norinco QBZ-97 - aka Type 97 NSR - out to the range for some shooting! This is the Canadian semiautomatic-only legal version of China's new military rifle, and it is chambered for the 5.56mm NATO cartridge (the Chinese military models use their 5.8x42mm cartridge).
Overall, the Type 97 is an acceptable rifle in all ways, but an excellent rifle in none. Its controls are functional but slow, and its trigger leaves a lot to be desired. The sights in particular are begging for improvement, in my opinion - the rear apertures are just too small to use easily.
That said, the rifle did run just fine throughout the day, I was able to make most of my hits, and it is a remarkably low-cost option (especially in Canada).
Thanks to Daniel and Colin for arranging this opportunity for me to take a look at the rifle!

Fun fact: these are pretty popular in Canada not only due to price, but because it's a 5.56 NATO rifle that isn't an AR-15 platform. AR-15 platform guns are restricted by default, but this gun is non-restricted.
Canadan state hates gun ownership until China enters the market. Says all you need to know about the government.
Yep commie's looking out for each other. But either way guns might not exist in Canada much longer.
Fun fact: all of em banned!

Go back to the Lee Enfield
It's better and hits harder , I was hit once
It's not pretty
There's a saying in Canada that these rifles launch the brass back to China
i can confirm that😂
Look at 2:03 a shell hits the camera right in the lens!
Shooting them in a stall is brutal. I wear a hoodie pulled tight around my neck. The brass hits the wall to the right and either hits you in the head or goes down your neck. Fun little gun - I have the type 2, and have put a ton of rounds through it.

Imagine a row of people using this gun and hitting each other with the shells

So, what you are saying is that one per every 2 kills is friendly fire!
five enemies five friends😂
area effect damage
If it was me shooting the other five would be dead by bludgeoning with the rifle itself, i don't need more than fivr shots
A small price to pay for salvation
If you watch carefully, you can see the brass leaving orbit and flying into the sun.

Sounds like considering the price, China may have done a really good job. How good does a rifle really have to be. Infantry does 90% of the dying and artillery does 90% of the killing. And it certainly looks very compact, about as compact as I think I have seen. Seems really good for general infantry use.

@@VashtheStampede007 The US does love its bombs, or at least buying them and using them so they have to buy more
They are decent rifles. I never had mine fail to feed or eject, they are reliable and for the price you really can't expect or ask for much more. The sights are atrocious like he said and the trigger is terrible without much of an option to fix that. Besides that they are good rifles. I have 2 of them, gen 1 and gen 3, its the same as gen 1 but instead of the carry handle it comes with a picatinny upper with a right side charging handle.

And there only $800.
We have gen 3 now in Canada, about $1199 CDN. It's quite popular up here, of course nothing compare to AR 15. But it's quite compact that's for sure. We can also use pistol mag and mag couplar that allow us to have 20 rounds total (have to switch at 10 round)
@@cougar2k720 wow, now i'm thinking Canada is the best country in the world😂
@@oliveoil2632 For some reason, T97 is not banned yet under the OIC back in 2020. The stock folding sight is nothing to write home about, but you just add better aftermarket one, or a scope, or a red dot. I assume in the States, if the mags are not pinned, they also accept 30 rounds or even 40 rounds pmags. The main thing is the reliability and compactness (29.8 inch), about 8.6 lbs. If you clean it, it will actually last a long time. Because it's heavy, you barely felt the recoil, and trigger isn't that bad imo. The 2 downsides are that people complain some fit and finish aren't great, but I find them acceptable, and they meet the casing so far away and mangle it in the process so you can't reload them.
@@cougar2k720 wow that is pretty hefty
That's Norinco for you, the epitome of cheap but functional. They're not even bad guns, essentially the Hi-Point of 5.56 guns.
I'm not knocking it.
funny stuff that some dude proved that hi-points were ok,but are just ugly...
NORINCO weapons are banned in the U.S. because the PLA got caught selling military grade weapons to American street gangs.
They're actually much better than hi-points, but yeah. And people forget how terrible hipoints were. If you can only afford a hipoint rifle, buy a mosin or something. A kel-tec, a mossberg, etc.
@mark blizzard ,
That’s such a silly comment. PLA does not own Norinco. Nor they are in the business of reselling. Norinco is one of the suppliers for PLA. Since Norinco has many clients, once the products are sold, they can’t control where it will be going. What proof do you have that they directly smuggled weapons to the US and sold to street gangs?

@@theguywithcoolpens6466 no it's the voicrcrack
The quality of these rifles is actually excellent, there is allot of people in these comments that don't know anything about these, instead using anti Chinese stereotypes and jokes about cheap Chinese products. Mostly due to the creaky plastic sound. Yet nobody is addressing why the gun is made from such a plastic, why was this creaky formula of plastic used? The answer is actually simple, because they needed a special formula of polymer that would work both in the tropics and in extreme cold, China has climates that range from tropical jungles to desert and frozen tundra. In northern China they get temperatures similar to Russia, extreme cold and snow, they needed their rifle to be impact resistant and strong in temperatures down to negative 40 Celsius. Many types of plastic and even fiberglass shatter on impact at such cold temps, so they created a soft flexible plastic that has that annoying creaky sound at normal temps, because it is flexible, at extreme cold temps it becomes much more firm but not brittle.
haters gotta hate, they just don't care.
true
Chinese rifles are a mixture of poop and garbage, are you from the Chinese Interdisc?????
It's amazing how much up-and-down wiggle there is on the charging handle/bolt carrier tube even though it has a solid guide rod down the middle.
It is never solid. The designer call it flexible guidance
2:04 That's quite some forward ejection, suck that FN.
But the next shot goes in almost the opposite direction. That's a really oblique ejection pattern compared to the brass pouring out of forward facing a tube.
Hit the camera
The T97 launches brass to the moon, and that's before you put the gas piston on the "adverse" setting.
I love how at the end he tried to reload it like an AK 😂
Shit, the accuracy of the brass ejection is pretty impressive. I bet you could get them all in a 5 gallon bucket if you tried.
Not quite but within a 3ft radius at 22ft is a 90% sure thing

Rattle is due to the cleaning kit housed in the grip. Buncha metal rods and bore brushes.
PolesAreEverywhere A1 maybe, A2 no.
Commisar Kloot a full sized mag pinned to hold just five rounds. It should be incredibly obvious that most of what you're hearing is the spring. Norinco doesn't make guns to a HK standard, but they also don't make trash either.
ThorstenTheViking the rattling is solely due to the cleaning kit housed in the grip. I live in Canada and own one. I left the cleaning kit out of the grip and it doesn't rattle at all now

its because one of the patreon perks is early access to videos, so he already has them uploaded and linked on patreon up to a month ahead of time so a day isn't much of an issue
I use the /feed/subscriptions page and never the youtube frontpage and it's n my feed.
It only showed up 1-2 hours ago here, but zergbur's comment is 1 day old meaning patreons got early access to the vid before it was made visible to us plebs.
The gun is no nonsense; accurate, light, reliable, cheap. What more could you want. Coming from the L85 video the brits should take note.
The SA80 latest version (v2 and v3) is a damn good rifle and LIGHT years better than this cheap garbage. If you pick one up and use it, it is way better than many portray, Very little recoil, super easy to acquire the target, and the bullpup format makes it easy to handle in tight spaces. The original SA80 v1 was a GOOD design let down by some stupid engineering detail oversights (like poor firing pin tip robustness) - basically it didn't go through a proper proofing stage to iron those stupid errors out - and it took decades before H&K finally did that.

As for the actual service rifle: has a little more kick. The cartridge, in my opinion, has superior performance compared to 5.56 NATO. Of course, depends on who makes it and what variant it is. The ergonomics are the same old suck. At least it's not an L85A1.

Canadians are the best mag changers in the world. :)
If I was stuck in Canada and limited to 5rnds I'd certainly be shooting something bigger than 5.56, and I wouldn't run full size mags that are neutered. One of the biggest advantages of 5.56 is the ability to carry a lot of ammo for a little bulk and weight, totally negated by stupid laws and 5/30 mags.
supersexyfatguy if it eases your mind, the mags are pinned, usually with a single plastic or aluminum rivet. Figure the rest out yourself...
supersexyfatguy yeah, by law our centre fire semi auto rifles are limited to 5 Rd capacity. Yes, that Sucks! I am envious of you yanks with full capacity mags.
Nothing wrong with 5.56
10rnd pistol mags are legal and .50 Beowulf mags that held 13-14 were legal until recently. end of the day we just buy Pmags or Lancers and pop the rivet out if needed. it only takes 30 seconds of work with a drill press or other cutting tool.
For what it is worth, the current Gen 3 T97 is quite good and doing well in Canadian market, thanks to it overall "shootability", reliability, and price. It's also quote good with most of AR 15 mags, if they fit.
I’m gonna describe the action of this gun as “gritty crunches of nopes.”
0:00 eww that trigger is atrocious
The trigger, mag release, bolt, and safety were all improved with newer versions. As well the carrying handle was removed and replaced with a picatinny rail, and the iron sights were redesigned.
Of course the new improved version is now a similar price to most AR15s, around $1200. The older version isn't produced at all, so unless you're buying it used, say goodbye to the awkward but like $400 cheaper version of this gun.
@@chiefkalif9675 I don't think the safety was changed though
I own on and its a solid little rifle. My charging handle is on the side, I have a forward grip and a red dot mounted on it.
It sights well, fairly tight groups.
The brass ejecting can not be re-used for re-loading as the brass hits the ejection port housing and put a big old dent into the brass.
I have no complaints about it, the trigger is weird but after a while you get used to it.
It will do the job
You should mention this gun is (somewhat) popular in Canada because of the current gun laws. Not to get into politics but to make is simple in Canada AR and AK variants (among many others in a long list) are subject to tighter regulations requiring registration and restricting use to certified ranges. Ergo weapons like this that are not on the list of doom, and can be classified as "non-restricted", do not need paperwork to own, buy or sell and can be used for hunting and back country shooting (yea we can't hunt with ARs here). Other good examples of this is the SKS, Tavors and the VZ58, which are also non-restricted and very popular here... we like having "for fun guns" too in Soviet Canuckistan haha. I'm sure you know but I think it's important to mention as to understand why the gun gained some traction here where as in the USA there are more alternatives in AR and AK platforms.
AK and Ak variants are flat out banned, the Dragunov is banned too even though it isn't an AK variant. there is just one variant of the Valmet and that is the M-78 and looks quite like the AK, though expect to pay half a kidney for that hotness

On the other hand dude, its reliability is amazing, it can work smoothly anywhere from Siberia to the Xinjiang desert and South China sea's humid island, rarely gets stuck. Even better than AKs.
It is precise enough because it has an 18inch barrel.You can sitin your car and easily hit anything 200m away. And Its overall length is only 29 inch.
Pretty good for a cheap one.
Magazines pinned at five rounds. The law in Canada. Also...watching the mosquitoes trying to suck you dry. Welcome to Canada!!
I must not allow you Canadians to use those mosquitoes to clone Ian McCallum. He's not yours! xD
Blame Canada.
U should ban those assault mosquitos, they are evil!
Come see the mosquitos down here in southern USA 🇺🇸
@@jesusdoesnotlikecommunism4531 Mosquitos seem to be the most ubiquitous nuisance on the face of the earth. I half expect the latest Mars Rover to find traces of them on the Red Planet as well.
97式有个姐姐， 叫95式
QBZ/Type 97 NSR has a sister, called QBZ/Type 95
At 5 rounds a mag I'd rather have a revolver rifle or a lever action.
2:05 POV, you're a left handed shooter.
Right in the face
@@vijeshkumar692 owch
That is some *impressive* shooting, I can't imagine doing that with my off hand.
This was such a great pair of videos, Ian. That would be awesome if you did more run-and-gun shooting videos like this! So these are not available for purchase in the US?
Love this style of video. More shooting runs with odd or obscure weapons!
That's how it is in the West, engaging in ideological opposition, either to the culture in your world or to the infidels. To us in the East, on the contrary, we are more respectful.
The rattling sound is from the pinned 5 round Canadian mag... Not the gun.
Maybe it's just the mic being so close but it sounds like a hollowed out plastic childs play gun. They should call it Nerf QBZ/Type 97 NSR instead.
As a Canadian it bothers me that we are limited to 5 rounds in our rifle mags but are allowed 10 in pistol magazines. Especially since anyone who wants to use a rifle for malicious purposes will just grind out the rivit and load the magazines to full capacity anyway..
I don't know the Canadian statistics but in the US most deaths from guns are hand guns but never hear about that when they bring up "Assault weapons" bans
@@jimbotheassclown Well it's easier to run away from a pistol than a rifle with the same fire rate. I mean with most self defense pistols you can only injure people from 100 meters onwards.
I like this design style
Having owned the FTU version, the gun is quite solid and the metal components are quite strong. Despite the squishy trigger, it has good accuracy. I actually find the trigger easier on my finger than my stock Tavor. the biggest issue with this gun is that it is hard on brass and if you can find it afterwards it all has a big dent in it. So not good for reloading. It's brass flinging is like a close in defense weapon and similar to the AGB42b
When I was in service, I used QBZ 95. The recoil was very light. I often fired 30 rounds with one hand and hit 26 rounds. At 100 meters
刘彻 兄弟你可以呀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lmao Chinese military😂😂. What a joke.
OG C please give a try please please please please bro. Because i wanna see how our military will kick ur ass 👌🏻
@@ogc9649 Found a loser here. You little pathetic being made my day
@@ogc9649 Attack of the clones 😂 they all look tha same 😱
Magazine capacity restrictions are so dumb, even the UK doesn't have any magazine capacity restrictions.
Acerbane Pssst! Not so loud before their government notice it.
Because that's not even necesarry in the UK. After all, what use is a 30 round magazine when you're only allowed to own bolt-action rifles?
It's like a toy company suddenly decided to make guns overnight
Well it's china, you can't expect high quality from those assholes.
I'm not really a bulbpup fan but i guess if they were sold for cheap in the US i might give it a try
Laird Cummings yeah, me too.
It's a big deal for Canada where the AR series is restricted to range use only. The NSR is the cheapest military style .223/5.56 rifle we can get and walk around in the woods with it for plinking or hunting.
And ya, we realize how insane that is legally. "Here are a pile of .223 rifles you can use everywhere (There are at least 10 models of .223 semi that are not restricted) but those ARs... no no no, they are scary and dangerous. Ranges only please"... Meanwhile, there is a gun store near me where I can get a semi 50BMG rifle, non-restricted. Total sense... From Bushmaster no less too...
If you are just looking for a cheap bullpup format hey sell bullpup stocks for the 10/22, mini 14 and sks under $200. I'm sure you could get a deal on some used mini 14 and sks with beat up stocks and walk away paying $400-$600 for the whole setup. They might jam some but you will away with a cool bullpup and be able to put a regular stock back on the rifle if you can't get it to feed right.
theGeeker Unfortunately putting bulpup stocks/kits on non bulpup rifles is against the law up here. Could get you 3+ years...
+Chris Buechler That sucks. I glad i live in the use. At least you can buy factory sbs's without and extra $200 tax stamp and 6 plus month wait.
This is the OG type 95 model was made in rush. Chinese military/swat use the new 95‘s were everythings are fixed long ago. Ar style safety，ak style paddle mag release and Modern tac rails
Is it just me or is that gun flexing every shot
all rifles do that if you watch'em in slow-mo. Mechanically, a too hard material may eventually break easily while a more flexible one will absorb energy with no problem but a bit of torsion.
damn polymer bodies looks and sounds so cheap and plastic-y, always despised it but i never really thought about that
@@latinodollar Yeah but metals ones will bend eventually, and it's harder to replace metal ones too.
@@peiranzhang4283 Is it though? There are parts kits cut up into pieces and with time, preparation and a welder, you can repair the cuts and make it look new. Bends can be tapped back into shape. For plastic/polymer, once it breaks, you are done.
2:03 Ejected case flies right at the camera.
4:13 what the hell is making that sound. Do the rounds some how start ejecting from the magazine ones it is fully seated ?
It looks very well designed mechanically in the slow motion. seems to work much better than expected especially given that you shoot it with the wrong hand.
I kept wondering why he would shoot 5 shots and kept changing mags... Then I remembered, "ohhhhh Canadaaaaa" (in national anthem singing).
Gloriousss and "freeeee"
We get 5 more here in NY #blessed 😒
ive watched this vid before, and i came back after reading about the firing mechanism, and wow is that a wobbly gun. All the slowmo shows the front end shaking all over.
I actually am very lucky enough to get my hands on a 95-1-600, 3 power illuminated optic, which is the Chinese military optic developed for 95-1 rifles. It fits right onto my type 97, and it makes aiming much easier comparing to its original iron sights. The only down side is that the reticle was developed for 5.8mm cartridge so I can only shoot it accurately at the distance of my zero.
that thing has a substantial amount of muzzle climb for a 5.56.. I'm guessing the thing is made with so much plastic that it doesn't have enough weight to dampen the bolt's inertia. I had a bullpup conversion for an SKS which, while firing 7.62x39 had much less obvious recoil.
Link to bullpup conversion? Preferably left handed if you know where.
You need to come back to Canada and do a teardown of the WK180 and WS MCR!
I appreciate your risk shooting this left handed! Those cases are headed to orbit millimeters from your face.
Im from China and i was using QBZ-95, its actually a good weapon in military use. For example turning a corner or inside a vehicle. Because of its short total length its much more convenient than AK or AR system, when they all have the same length of barrels. and maybe you can look up for some attachments for picatinny rail, there are lots of them in Canada, i guess.
how do you think of these bullpup rifles? FAMAS, QBZ, AUG, X95, etc.
besides im a super fan of bullpups haha
Naah.......bulp up is not good militarily...... My opinion.....coz ergonomic, accuracy and reliability
The ergonomics and reliability is trash
You say the trigger is weird... hows it weird? Is it some sort of wire-pull trigger like some bullpup mods I've seen?
greetings from China，that rifle you held is partly similar to my qbz95 when i served in capf，these newly built version is much better than the old
Hey Ian. Thank you for covering a rifle on the Canadian market.
I dunno if you'd be interested, but a buddy of mine has a 1916 Ross rifle. It's a nice gun, heavy though.
