It's no different from any other AK copy out there. It's basically OFBs 'AK-7' which ran into trouble with the original maker.

Front sights arent changed either.

Like it's par for the course if the Chinese reverse engineer 90% of its weapons and equipment from the Russians and Americans but people get into tantrums, make fun and poke you in the eye if India bases one of its rifle designs on an AK-47! What's the fukin' big deal? As long as the rifle has the capability of killing the enemy and that's what matters, even if the design is copied from the Martians.

You can measure inferiority complex in a design too!! Oh God..Pakistanis like you have done phd.s in that subject.
Now go and tell the same thing to the Chinese. Heard about Type-56 ? Or how about the F-7s that you use ?
