The CQ is an unlicensed copy of the Colt M16 rifle. It is currently being manufactured by Norinco. According to the Norinco website, the rifle is officially known as CQ 5.56.

History
The CQ was first introduced in the early 1980s. This weapon is chambered for 5.56x45mm cartridges and never entered service with the People's Liberation Army and appears to be intended for sale as an export . Two variants of the CQ rifle are made: the CQ 5.56, also known as the CQ-311 or CQ M-311, the select-fire variant for Military/LE sales; and the CQ M311-1, the semi-automatic version for the civilian market. Later, a carbine variant has been introduced, called the CQ 5.56mm Type A.
As a semi-automatic sporter rifle, the Type CQ quickly gained popularity where it was marketed, as a highly-competitive and good quality low-cost alternative to other more expensive AR-15 rifles, particularly the models made in the USA by Colt Manufacturing. As a military rifle, however, the Type CQ was unsuccessful. It was never adopted by the Chinese military or even unofficially distributed within Chinese troops, with the only significant use of this weapon in war during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s, when it was sold to Mujaheddin forces in a Chinese attempt to thwart Soviet influence in the Far East. The most likely reason of this sale is the US backing of the Mujaheddin, who Chinese officials might have thought would supply Afghan fighters with 5.56x45mm ammunition. By the time Operation Enduring Freedom was launched in 2001, however, the use of Type CQ rifles by Afghan fighters' was rare. Other military uses of the Type CQ assault rifle have been reported within guerrilla and insurgent movements in the South-East Asian area. Rumors of shipments of quantities of Type CQ rifles to countries like North Korea and Cuba have been around for years, yet remain unconfirmed.
Media Appearance

Differences
Though it has the same look as the M16 rifle, there are some modifications to various parts. Distinguishing features of this weapon that can be used to tell it apart from an M16 rifle is its forward hand guard, stock, and pistol grip.
The Type CQ rifle, in both its Military/LE and Civilian variants, has a 1:12 rifling pitch which allows it to properly stabilize the M-193 "Ball" variant of the 5.56 mm ammunition or the Type CJ Chinese clone, as well as any .223 Remington commercial cartridge variant that can be stabilized by the 1:12 pitch rifling barrel (normally Varmint or other simple sporter cartridges,up to a maximum bullet weight of 55 Grains). the M-193 "Ball" 5.56 mm cartridge was never a NATO standard until the adoption of this weapon system by other nations. Type CQ is chambered in "5.56x45mm-NATO", but it will not properly stabilize the NATO standard 5.56 mm ammunition (the SS-109, M-855 in US service), which requires a 1:9 or 1:7...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about indoor football shoes, men leather shoes, .
