Thread: P.L.A don't even use Chinese Scopes

The same argument in your title can be applied to Americans too. Some American police force and special forces use S&B and maybe Khales. recently the US Marine is looking at using The SMASH scope, an Israeli outfit. Does this mean the US army does not even trust US scopes?

New Zealand too makes various firearm parts. Am I right in saying that no New Zealand firearm part marker has a current contract with New Zealand military or police? does that may what we produce are sub-standard and not worth using? surely it would not mean that.

Different applications demand different grade of gear. There is no denial that Khales is better than any Chinese brand so where there is critical application, using important superior gear is warranted. But it does not mean for less critical applications lesser gear cannot or is not used.

Plus the simple reality China specialises in reverse engineering and bulk production.

They make junk, in vast, subsidised quantities. Culturally, high quality production is something they have no tradition of.

Eh?

The people of China have made some great things over the years.

Take a look at their pottery.

Or all the ornaments the Brits nicked from China during the Opium wars, half that shit is probably sitting in the V&A in London.
