This video delves into Taiwan's Type 65 rifle, a domestic gas-piston evolution of the AR platform designed to replace the M14. Development began in 1973, with adoption in 1976 (Type 65 based on the Chinese calendar). The rifle is essentially a short-stroke piston M16A1, sharing barrel specifications but incorporating an SVT/AR18-style piston system. Significant production numbers were achieved for both Taiwanese forces and international export, primarily to the Middle East and Latin America. The specific example showcased is a clone built from a kit, featuring a clone-type receiver.
This video provides a practical accuracy evaluation of the Taiwanese Type 91 rifle out to 500 yards. The description highlights its lineage from the Type 65, its short-stroke gas piston system (contrasted with HK416 and G36), and its reliability and accuracy, drawing comparisons to the HK416. The reviewer also teases a "Type 91M" modernization concept. The video encourages viewer support through Patreon and mentions a partnership with Slate Black Industries.
