Type 97B short assault rifle, a member of the type 97 5.56mm gun family, inherits all the advantages of 97 gun family. Compact size, the overall length of 97B assault rifle is 620mm. Light weight, with unloaded magazine it only weighs 3.1kg. The smart gun can function as a sub machine gun with high performance.

Due to this kind of reason, there is only little information about type 97B. As more about Chinese weapons were learned by people, type 97B attracts more and more people’s eyes.

When firing, it can reduce the blaze and noise. The unique pistol grip make holding the gun very comfortable and can restrain the muzzle jumping.

Thus the overall weight is reduced. The hard-coat anodizing finish on surface enforces the rigidity, wearability and anticorrosion of frame, which makes it more nice and practical. Scope mount can use white light, glimmer and red dot sight, etc.
The magazine port of type 97B is straight and button type, which is compatible with US M16 and Belgium FNC assault rifle.
