The CS/LR35 (military designation QBU-202 and QBU-203) is a type of bolt-action sniper rifle designed and manufactured by Chinese company Norinco. Developed from CS/LR4, the weapon is chambered with either 7.62×51mm cartridge or 8.6×70mm round in a 5-round box magazine. The rifle features a free-floating barrel and specifically designed munition that improves accuracy.[2]
Design and development[edit]
CS/LR35 is the further development of the CS/LR4 sniper rifle system. CS/LR35 is available in two versions chambered in either 7.62×51mm NATO or 8.6×70mm (.338 Lapua Magnum). Improvements include reinforced material for the barrel, lightweight rifle body, fully adjustable folding stock, and CS/DEL3A high precision cartridge in a 5-round box magazine. The weight is less than 6 kg (13 lb). The accuracy is claimed to be ≤0.5MOA at 100 m (110 yd), ≤0.75MOA at 300 m (330 yd), and ≤1MOA at 800 m (870 yd).[3][2]
The 8.6×70mm variant of the rifle can be differentiated by its slightly longer barrel with a handguard that only has four ventilation holes whereas the 7.62 variant has seven smaller ones.[2] The manufacturer claims that, with 8.6×70mm ammunition, the weapon has a conservative estimate of sub 1 MOA accuracy at 1,200 m (1,300 yd).[4]
8.6×70mm variant of the CS/LR35 received designation QBU-202 with its scope designated QMK-201 variable zoom optics. 7.62×51mm variant of the CS/LR35 received designation QBU-203 with its scope designated QMK-201A.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
