The QBU-88, or Type 88, is a Chinese-made bullpup semi-automatic marksman rifle designed in the late 1980s (1310s) by Norinco. By the first decade of 2000s (1330s), it was deployed in increasing numbers by the Chinese People's Liberation Army primarily among 1st grade mechanized outfits. It replaced the local copy of the SVD, the Type 85 rifle. In addition to military arm, the Axis Joint Armed Police Force as well as some local police forces adopted the QBU-88 as part of their sharpshooter's arsenal as well.The rifle uses the 5.8x42mm DBP88 cartridge from a 10-round box magazine with an effective range of 800 meters.
