With zero recent combat experience, the PLA s doctrine and training in some cases is inadequate,
Global Times reported.
Here s What You Need To Remember: China, despite boasting an impressive army and weapons program, has not actually gone to war in forty years. This is a good thing, but it means that their soldiers lack realistic training - a problem that PLA strategists have increasingly acknowledged.
A surprising article in Chinese state media makes a rare admission of a serious weakness in the Chinese military.
True, the People s Liberation Army is acquiring high-tech new weapons that, in theory, match the best American, Russian, Japanese, South Korean and European hardware.
The AR-15 series of rifles is one of the most versatile long gun platform ever invented.
Developed in the late 1950s, the AR-15 is available in broad array of calibers, from .50 Beowulf to .22 Long Rifle.

M16 assault rifle. The M16 fired 5.56-millimeter ammunition and used the direct impingement gas operating system to cycle the weapon.
