Considering the cartridge, wouldn’t this be better suited for Japan?

No. Because China used the few against Japan in the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937 -1945)

It is something I noticed lacking in most of suggestions as well, perhaps the pinned rules should be edited with additional instructions?

They were made by commie troop with captured japanese type38 parts, like Uragan is made by MP40 parts.
So they should be soviet weapon/squad if they are really planning the new campaign in Manchuria.

Fair enough Ig

I’m praying this isn’t for TT??? :pray:

It’s got no place in the US/UK TT

Yea, and even it would be added, Chinese assault squad couldnt use it, and Chinese semi-auto squad wouldnt use it because their main weapon is better simply

I hope you can face this fact
At present, the only remaining Xiangying rifle in China is a sample gun from 1946
