The QBU-88 is a Chinese bullpup designated marksman rifle chambered in 5.8x42mm and distributed by Norinco, adopted by the People's Liberation Army in 1997 for semi-automatic aimed fire at ranges beyond those of standard assault rifles rather than as a true sniper rifle. It has remained in active service since its adoption, though it is being phased out in various units in favor of newer rifles such as the QBU-191 and CS/LR4.
