The T65 (聯勤 Type 65) is a rifle developed and manufactured by the Combined Logistics Command of the Republic of China Armed Forces in Taiwan. Originally patterned after the Armalite AR-18 that has a short-stroke gas system, the prototype unveiled in 1975 showed a rifle that is heavily influenced by the AR-15 family of rifles, albeit with modified iron sights, a reshaped stock, and redesigned handguards. The designated number '65' refers to the Year 65 of Republic of China (1976), the year the rifle's design was finalized. Upgraded versions were designated the Type 65K2 and Type 65K3.
The T65 series served as the standard issue weapon for front-line usage of the army and the marine corps until being replaced by the follow-on T91 in the early 2000s. T65 rifles are currently used by the Army Reserves, Army Basic Training Centers, and the Air Force.

Why doesn't China just build m16s instead of slightly different copies?

Taiwan isn't the mainland China that everybody refers to as 'China'. If you speak english and say China it means the mainland commie country.

Vietnam Era early 5.56mm rounds are sucks.
very dirty and make M16 jam.
Taiwan use AR-18 piston system to avoid that problem.
HK 416 use piston system lately.
so Taiwanese smart FTW.
You can buy T-91 upper named Wolf A-1 for AR-15 Lower in US now.

Yeah a few did, fucking moon rocks. Plenty in Canada tho, CanadaAmmo sells them as the DA556A2A
I like the aesthetics of it. Are there modern AR uppers which have that external look?

Peoples Republic of China: Mainland
Republic of China: Island south of the mainland where the democratic government fled to after losing the civil war is also called Taiwan to help avoid confusion with the mainland.
Also both consider themselves the only 'China'.
Is it wrong to want one, even though it's basically just an AR?

I'm thinking of getting a T91 upper after they've worked out all the bugs. I hear there's some small problems like fitting to the lower tightly.
>>33895025
Looks like k1 but less AK and more AR.
>>33895113
T65 is better in any respect than the M16s.
