the QBZ looks a little stretched out, horizontally. Its handle, like Nikhao said, looks a bit weird, and I think the stock and the barrel/handguard could be shortened a bit.

They look pretty flat.
I disable normal shading for Slab6 previews.
I believe that Necro was talking about the fact that you use what appears to be a single color per 'part' of the weapon (A clear example would be your Type 56-2 and it's wooden parts.) while most people prefer to see at least some shading being applied on the weapon itself. (Not talking about the Slab6 shading here, that is only used for displaying and is not applied to the model outside of the Slab6 editor unless you 'burn' it in using the option.)
The easiest way to do this would be to grab the color you wish to shade, and add/remove 2 from the R, G and B values of the color to create a lighter and darker shade. (In Slab6 you can use KP1 to 6 to do this while hovering over the color panel, just be sure that you don't edit one of the colors already in use as that will mess things up.)

I add as much colours as I can to each part without making it look too messy, also for the Type 56-2 you would want me to use more colours for the wooden parts. This is the real steel Type 56-2:
Are you seriously suggesting that I should put down every little colour change of the wooden parts? That's impossible with the size that the weapons are, you would have to make the weapons gigantic to fit all of that detail.
I think you are misunderstanding what I meant to say.
I'm not asking you to include every little detail as that would indeed, be impossible. But having even a small color change on a weapon can greatly increase it's looks and make it look less flat, as mentioned before by Necro.
Just take a look at some of the other weapons on the forums and try to learn from how their shading is done. It can't hurt to at least try out a different method to see how it works out.
