Second source claims it is a JL-3 launched from a type 094A; however first source comments state it resembles a JL-2 more which i also agree seems to be more likely. though i agree it is likely a type 094A.

weibo comments from other posts also agree it is a JL-2.

QBZ-191 with laser dry fire attachments at the simulated shooting area during PLA HK garrison ngong sheun chau navy base open day. June 20, 2026 [Original content]

I originally posted this at https://www.reddit.com/r/PeopleLiberationArmy/comments/1ucf927/rpeopleliberationarmy_originals_hk_garrison_ngong/ with more guns(which i may post here)

Yep, i shot a real QBZ-191 with laser dry fire attachemnts, likely the ones used in OPFOR.(didn't pull the actual trigger but a wire thing in front.)

I have also shot a laser replica of the QBZ-95 before; ergonomics wise i think the QBZ-191 is generally better though i liked the QBZ-95's iron sights more.

(however the QBZ-191 has sight rails and have often been seen with red dots or scopes nowadays so iron sights are kinda irrelevant)

(the hands are from a PLAN Seaman who taught how the iron sights worked)

QBZ-191 should be navy(possibly security forces? i kinda forgot the patch of the guy at the dry fire range); gun exhbit are most likely PLAGF guns.(soldiers were PLAGF)

Yep, i aimed an actual QBZ-191. laser though (also not the actual trigger, a thing in front of the trigger.)

I have previously shot a laser replica of the QBZ-95 before; Ergonomicwise I prefer the QBZ-191 though the QBZ-95 has iron sights which are easier to use.

As for the gun exhibit:

I didn't manage to get pics for the QCQ-171 due to the long line. QBZ-191 i couldn't even get the infosheet.

Most of the pistols did not have their magazine(for other guns they had an empty mag); One QSZ-193 however did have a magazine which tonnes of kids played around with, releasing the mag and putting it back in. After one kid released the mag(again) the corporal at the stand quickly took the gun and put it in his pocket.

My guess is the QSZ-193 magazine was not meant to be there.(which means the corporal really fucked up as QSZ-193s are for officers the rank of colonel or above).
