The Northwest B-9 is a primary weapon in PAYDAY 3, classified as an assault rifle.
Overview [ ]
The Northwest B-9 is a Chinese assault rifle unlocked at infamy level 21. Although its appearance is bulky and powerful, especially due to it being chambered in the 5.8x42mm cartridge, its stats actually falls behind compared to even the starting CAR-4 rifle. Its low damage and low armor penetration means more time spent taking down enemies, though it isn't low enough to force large amount of ammo to be spent on single cops and is enough to take down swarms of weaker non-special units.
The Northwest is generally an unimpressive yet simultaneously serviceable assault rifle - it is weaker than its other contemporaries, yet it still is able to serve its role well as an assault rifle.
Summary [ ]
Pros :
Decent ammo pool
Decent magazine capacity
Decent firerate
Cons :
Weak damage
Unremarkable and forgettable weapon, even compared to the CAR-4
Benefits very little from its attachments

Trivia [ ]
The Northwest B-9 is based on the Norinco QBZ-191 Assault Rifle with an altered rear sight.
It is curious how Gage is able to acquire this weapon, as currently QBZ-191 is only used by PLA and People's Armed Police in limited numbers.
Its weakness compared to other assault rifles could be explained that the weapon is an export version of the original QBZ-191 using different ammunition.
