“ | The Chinese have constructed an export version, the Type 97, which is similar to the Type 95 in all respects except that it is chambered for 5.56 mm NATO instead of the original Chinese 5.8 mm cartridge and has a deep magazine well, designed to accept STANAG magazines. | ” |
— Item Description |
The Type 97 is an Warbox Assault Rifle.
Overview[]
The Type 97 is a bullpup style Assault Rifle. It offers a mediocre damage per shot, a decent rate of fire, acceptable accuracy and good range properties. Unfortunately, compared to newer offerings, it lacks in almost every regard; its raw DPS is lower than nearly all of its compatriots, its damage multipliers are lower than newcomers and its recoil pattern is more difficult to control. While the recoil is softer than lower-tier rifles like the AK-103, it follows a rather odd path throughout each burst; it changes direction multiple times on longer, sustained bursts, making it somewhat unpredictable. This is a major issue for both players who prefer to aim for the head and those who aim for the body; it is therefore better suited for tight, accurate bursts to the head. It is better than most free options but is outclassed by nearly every other box rifle.
