Using the QBB
The QBB-97 is a very powerful weapon, with a high capacity of 75, very accurate, and a high DPS, because the standing accuracy is almost the same as moving, feel free to move around, the recoil nearly halves movement speed in any case. Furthermore, because of the structure damage bonus, the QBB-97 can destroy obstacles quickly, giving an opponent nowhere to hide. Finally, be sure to reload whenever possible, as having all 75 ready to go is vital.

Trivia

 * In real life, the QBB-97 is an export variant of the 5.8×42mm QBZ-97, converted to use 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition. As its name would suggest, it was first manufactured in 1997 in the People's Republic of China for the People's Liberation Army (China's Armed Forces).
 * It's the second weapon in the game to be a bullpup design (a gun where the magazine is located behind the trigger), with the FAMAS being the first.
 * It is one of the only 4 weapons to have a visible magazine, along with the M249, the DP-28 and the PKP Pecheneg.
 * It is the only Weapon that was added in the "" update that can be found somewhere else.
 * With the Firepower Perk, the QBB-97 has a 90-round magazine, still in third in terms of magazine size after the M249 and PKP Pecheneg

Countering
The QBB-97 has the third highest magazine of all the weapons, behind the M249 and the PKP Pecheneg, which means that it can outlast most weapons, except the M249 and the PKP Pecheneg. The QBB-97's DPS is very high, but you can also just go up to a QBB-97 user and try to kill them using a Assault Rifle or an LMG with higher DPS. The thing is, you will run out of bullets, having to reload before your enemy unless you have a M249, which means that they can continuously shoot at you while reloading, hiding behind an obstacle won't help, since LMGs are given a boost to obstacles to quickly destroy them (1.5 for DP-28 and QBB-97, 1.75 for BAR M1918 and M249). The best way to kill a QBB user is to get in close range, and shoot them in the face with a Shotgun or SMG, since the QBB is very weak in close range, it'll work almost every time. Also, if you can, try using a melee weapon at close range such as the Katana or Naginata to efficiently destroy them.

Pros

 * Large magazine
 * High DPS
 * Does 50% extra damage to Obstacles
 * Common in Airdrops
 * Arguably the best LMG in close quarters, due to its ROF, magazine size, high damage output, and shortest barrel.
 * One of the most accurate weapons in game, even while moving. It is more accurate than the M249 when moving.

Cons

 * Longer reload time than most weapons in the game
 * High recoil
 * QBB-97s DPS can be lower than some Assault Rifles

Rarity
The QBB-97 is a common drop in, and it has a 1/121 chance of spawning in a Cabin.

Trivia

 * The QBB-97 is the only weapon without a quality tag (which determines if you can get it if you have the Rare Potato Perk). This is probably a bug, as every unreleased weapon (such as the Iron Bomb from the Air Strike and the secondaries from the MIRV Grenade) have a quality tag.
