The weapon on the first 3 pictures reminds me the French FA MAS ( Bull pup design ) with a drum magazine.

I did a quick research on the net.
That bull pup rifle is the Chinese Rifle Type 95
I found some links in regards Chinese weaponry:

RPG 7's are muzzle loading and single shot only, the one you saw in the pic are indeed grenade launchers except it's not rocket propelled like the RPG, plus, it's fed by a drum...

I would have to disagree. The bullpup presents some intrinsic disadvantages. For example, reloading a magazine is more awkward than with the conventional assault weapon design. Aiming is more difficult from a standing position, due to the magazine location behind the trigger handle. Another point is reliability, since the bullet reloading action takes place behind the trigger group.

They have a Russian/Soviet Union Design going on. Reminds me of a modified AK-47 only in black.

You are right, Xenophon.
During stress conditions its not easy to reload a gun without the proper training.The Bull pup design brings a reduction on the rifle size and not affecting the size of the barrel, but at the same time the reload operation becomes more complicated.
As an example, the UZI has the magazine located on the grip, as the semiautomatic pistols. To give you a better idea what Im talking about try to touch your hands on complete darkness. You see, thats a natural reflect. Imagine trying to locate the receiver in any other position. On the traditional models, the receiver is located just in from of the hand grip and the triger.
