USA vs CHINA: Military Gear Comparison

The army with the biggest budget against the army with the most people in uniform. One soldier on a hot Pacific island, one on a plateau 4,500 meters up. What does each of them carry, and who wins round by round? We keep score. Compared: rifles and cartridges (M4A1, M7, QBZ-95, QBZ-191), sights, grenade launchers (M320, QLG-10, QLZ-87), machine guns (M249, M250, QJS-161, QJY-88), marksman rifles (M110A1, QBU-88, QBU-10), pistols (M17, QSZ-92), anti-tank weapons (Javelin, HJ-12, PF-98), helmets, body armor, drones and robot dogs, radios and BeiDou, the entrenching shovel, high-altitude service, rations, first aid, the fighting load, night vision and combat experience.
