Before discussing China's Type 24 Rifle, we have to talk about Germany's Standardmodell. Designed in 1924, the Mauser Standardmodell is a 8×57mm carbine developed from the Gewehr 98 and is similar to the later Karabiner 98k. These were Germany's World War I and II service rifles, respectively.

Completely different weapon. You're thinking the QBZ-191 and it's a disproven myth. They were using rubber ammo in the video and there are countless videos of the QBZ-191 using standard ammo without issue.
Compare a DBF-07 rubber bullet case (1) to one in the video (2) and to standard DBP-191 (3).
