Modern Firearms - Type 03 / QBZ-03 assault rifle

Was reading up on their newest weaponry, and it seems like they're abandoning the QBZ-95 after some unsatisfactory field testing. So I'm wondering, wouldn't it be logical for PR to go back to the Type-81? This is the one: Modern Firearms - Assault Rifles -

Or maybe the new version of the T81? But then again, it might be hard to find reference pictures, etc about the new one.

No, they're not.

The QBZ-95 will be the primary infantry weapon of the PLA for the forseeable. The QBZ-03 is used only by PLA recon teams. Also, the suggestion of including the QBZ-03 has come up before, so please search before making suggestions.

Thank you.
