Taiwan has been using gas piston AR-15 derivatives since the 1970s. Their current rifle is the type 91 which has been in mainline service for 20 years.
Taiwan continuing the trend with AR-type rifles should not come as a surprise since they’ve been making them for 50 years, much longer than other nations and companies.
T65 and T91 use different types of gas piston system.
You have to take the upper handguard off first if you want to remove the piston system of the T65.

T91's piston system is much easier to remove, you can pull it out from the gas block without using tools.

Yes, it's an airsoft. But the company that made it used real T91 parts except for the barrel, bolt carrier group, and trigger. A guy bought a T65K2 from the same company, he converted that "airsoft" into a real rifle and got arrested last year.

They got plenty of units using Tavors but are in the process of replacing it with one of 3 ARs, it's between the Arad, the non meme version of the Gilboa and an Emtan rifle

>WHY CAN'T NOBODY INNOVATE?
Mexico innovated but no one cared because the exterior looks a lot like HK.
>WHY IS EVERYTHING AN AK OR AR VARIANT?
Because said platforms JUST WERK, and there's a frick surplus parts and magazines laying around. Same reason the most common PCC's in the market use Glock magazines.
Also plenty of HK variant rifles are still used to this day so not EVERYTHING is an AR/AK, just mostly everything.

Yes, be a better (You) today.
>WHY CAN'T NOBODY INNOVATE?
There is a lot of innovation and if you go digging, you find out there have been tons of promising projects that were abandoned once they exited the "proof of concept" stage
And the issue always turns out to be that THERE IS NO FUNDING for properly finishing any novel firearm projects to a level where they can be considered as reliable and proven as another AR or AK clone
You don't just need to design a gun, you also need to have several thousand morons in camo do exercises with it for a few years so you can fix issues that aren't immediately apparent in the design room or small scale testing
If you're a NATO country or an ally, it's practically impossible to convince the people holding the money bag that you need a better gun than an AR clone especially since NATO compatibility acquisitions tend to be viewed as big and "necessary" political moves, and unfortunately politicians (both civilian and military people in what are arguably political positions) are fricking moronic and in control of the money
There's also the issue of political timeframes. Elections are every 4 years. Finishing out a novel gun design and proving it's reliable enough for mass scale adoption is an 8 year process if it goes well
No modern politician cares enough about their country to push for a project that won't immediately benefit their career. They'll push for AR clone, go on about muh NATO compatibility and get fat stacks of votes and big publicity
Acog? Self made optic? not sure, they didn't mention the model. they did say it's 4x though.
I like the baby-waby toprail on the scope. Tottemo kawaii.
To make MP Sports cycle?
what's up with Americans with their forward assists? I've never had to use them.
The FA has two proven uses, and one semi-apocryphal use. And I'm annoyed that 90% of the supposed YTube "experts" and even Stoner himself didn't get it.
Proven (2):
1) in degraded logistical conditions, if your ammo is shit, the bolt may not cycle consistently. FA is a shorter and smaller motion than cycling the charging handle. There's a field report from Vietnam of this working as intended.
2) if your training is shit, or you're terrified shitting your pants, you might whiff the charging handle pull. FA smaller and quicker. Rittenhouse demo'd this fix.
Apocryphal:
Needing to be quiet when recharging the weapon. Instead of a bufferspring smacking the bolt forward, you ride the bolt to the chamber and then "click" into locked position with the FA.
"FA is only there because the Charging T-handle is a broken design!"
Some say the top charging handle is purely a quick-fix resulting from relocation of the AR-10's handle. Because it got too hot in that original position.
But there is a utility to its top-rear position.
Similar to the purpose of the Darne model shotguns: imagine you are in a blindage. Your barrel is resting on the environment, protruding to some degree. Maybe it's pressed up to the magwell, even. Charging from top-rear of the receiver means you don't need to tilt or retract/re-extend the barrel in order to reach a handle located towards the front. You also don't need clearance to either side.
Admirable work Anon but you're never going to convince the morons. The AR charging handle is an elegant design. Its inherently ambidextrous, low profile and requires only a minor opening in the receiver which prevents shit from getting in the action.
Dust and grit can absolutely cause an AR to not go into battery.
As can very rarely, firing from an unsupported position due to not giving the gun enough mass to cycle into.
American client states have the most boring military equipment.
And will probably fail.
Cant wait to see these in a pile in Beijing, after the reunification.
Why complain? We have manufacturing costs on these so low they practically give them away.
I would have gone with 6.8 spc II but it doesn’t really matter because America is going to kick China’s butthole down the court and Taiwan won’t even get a chance to use them.

Honestly a pretty sensible build minus the gay as frick 2 round burst instead of full-auto and the dropping of the forward assist. It looks like they built it a bit beefier than your ultra light civilian builds and for a combat rifle that's a good choice. I wonder who makes the scope and if they'll try integrate a suppressor to mount on that brake.
and of course the enlarged trigger guard for bulky gloved shooting and a flat trigger (implying some effort to make the trigger pull more competition esque than a standard mil-spec trigger)
Enlighten me on why. I see a burst as more constricting than full auto but less accurate than semi. The few cases where you need select fire in any case are either suppressive fire or panicked close quarter mag dumping. In both cases I don't see much of an advantage to burst besides keeping poorly trained scared conscripts from emptying their magazine quite as fast (a few seconds vs a few more seconds at most).
that's what I meant, I agreed that it's gay. it's a bureaucratic design. it might seem sensible from a statistical view to implement burst, but irl it's useless.

T112 can still fire full automatically. It's has four mode: safe, semi, 2 round burst, auto.

That explains how those parts make it into the USA. Pity about Taiwan’s gun laws but your airsoft culture seems pretty awesome.
Is it legal to purchase those parts and bring them to the USA or have them shipped?
The T65 is a classic and I find the K2 very neat.
It's 100% legal to own those parts in Taiwan, but I'm not sure if you can bring them into the US or not.

Not suspicious, not even a little.
I know what you're implying, but the Taiwanese Government are not going to send them away. Those T91s will replace the reserve units' old M16A1, T65K1, and T65K2.
>2 round burst
Are the people in charge of procurement and training fricking boomers? How hard can it be to train conscripts to pull and then let go of the trigger and not mag dump all their ammo into the ocean? It's an AR not a full auto FN FAL. Do they not understand that the more bullshit you add to a rifle the more points of failure you introduce?
Last I checked not even the French were doing this nonsense anymore.

>Who do I have to bribe to get Keltec a government contract?
Start with a poor irrelevant country that cares more about aesthetics than practicality and convince their dictator that their government security forces would look dope as frick with a R50 Series carbines which wouldn't be hard for Kel-tec to fulfill. Either that or mass produce enough RFB's or RDB's (depending on what form of ammo is more common there) and dump them in the hands of some ethnic separatist movement in Asia or Africa then hope they win and achieve nationhood, if the do win well their national rifle of choice will likely be the one they're already use to and have dozens of, they'll be a life long customer for Kel-tec after that. Then Kel-tec will get to humor the idea of producing APC's, battle tanks, and artillery too after birthing a new nation into existence.
Quick someone with official or a contacts and maybe a green glowing aura that sticks out at night scheduled a meeting between the CEO of Kel-tec and the rebels of Rahmanland. the Cabinda Province, and Tigray's in Ethiopia. If just one of them wins their independence Kel-tec will finally go international and finally get to compete with the likes of FN, Sig, and H&K. It would be the greatest underdog story ever told.
not sure about the t91 but the t65 is no longer being produced. t65 was never officially exported to the us, so the parts are most likely smuggled which would continue to be more and more expensive.
That was my point anon. When are we getting ex-Taiwanese military parts kits. These are coming into service apparently so they are going to want to dispose of their older rifles.
When are we getting T65 and T91 parts kits? No. Don't mention the beat to shit, pverpriced T65's over on HK(ike)Parts.
That was my point anon. When are we getting ex-Taiwanese military parts kits. These are coming into service apparently so they are going to want to dispose of their older rifles.
T65 kits are very expensive. the occasional set on fun timer goes for big bucks so the ones on HKparts aren’t too heavy in the grand scheme of things. they’re rare, unusual, and simply need a regular AR lower and A1 style barrel to be competed (unless i’m missing something). they were never formally imported from taiwan but i think the mrs are ex service rifles from nations that did procure the guns.
That was my point anon. When are we getting ex-Taiwanese military parts kits. These are coming into service apparently so they are going to want to dispose of their older rifles.
Taiwan will probably store them for the foreseeable future, sell them to a friendly nation, or scrap them. we haven’t got any ex-taiwanese or KMT weapons yet despite both Taiwan and USA being buddies for decades, no Taiwan M14 parts either.
One day i hope Crypto king and conquer of gang bangers, Bukele, sells El Salvador’s on T-65s to the US as kits.

You can legally buy T65 and T91's front sight block, handguard, buttstock, pistol grip, and even gas system in Taiwan. But the barrel, bolt carrier group, trigger, and receiver are illegal here.

That explains how those parts make it into the USA. Pity about Taiwan’s gun laws but your airsoft culture seems pretty awesome.
Is it legal to purchase those parts and bring them to the USA or have them shipped?
The T65 is a classic and I find the K2 very neat.
Seems better than the chang one that keyholes at arm's length.
think that was caused by using rubber bullets designed for type 95. new rifles use different 5.8 ammo.
