Photos of the day: Crazy Type79 tactical mod

While the PLA has long since gave up on the Type79 7.62x25mm Submachine Gun as a viable PDW option, this old girl seems to have found a nice niche within Chinese SWAT units.  Its complete lack of stopping power is more than compensated by its easy to use and maintain, its high rate of fire (1000 rounds/min) is a nice bonus in any urban CQC too.

Here are photos of Guangzhou City's Thunder SWAT showing off (here), one of the 36 SWAT units in this southern city of 14 million.  

 Yes, it is him.

"Panlong" joint anti-terrorism exercise

 The Macau SAR conducted a large-scale "Panlong" joint anti-terrorism exercise, simulating a terrorist attack on a concert and holding hostages yesterday (July 26th). As part of the exercise, the PLA stationed in Macao sent anti-chemical warfare, special warfare, and communications troops to the location to assist with the rescue mission.   As you may recall, not too long ago, there was an actual terrorist incident in Russia involving a concert hall.
