The QBU-88 is a Chinese bullpup designated marksman rifle in service in the People's Liberation Army. Despite sharing some visual similarities with the QBZ-95 and sharing its ammunition, the QBU-88 is substantially different from the QBZ-95 internally, and their magazines are not interchangeable.
Despite commonly claimed as being manufactured by Norinco (an export company that realistically has no manufacturing capabilities, that is often confused with Norinco Group) by online sources, no reliable Chinese secondary source or primary source has confirmed this claim. It appears that the actual designers and manufacturers of the QBU-88 have not been publicly disclosed in any reliable Chinese source.
The QBU-88 and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
