The Taiwanese Type 65 (T65) rifle is a unique AR-pattern firearm featuring a short-stroke gas piston system, a departure from the standard direct impingement of the M16. Developed in the 1970s, it shares visual similarities with the M16A1 but incorporates AR-18 and SVT Tokarev influences in its operating mechanism. While reliable, its piston design leads to rapid heating of the handguards during firing.

This YouTube video is a book review of "Vickers Guide AR15 Volume II" by Larry Vickers and James Rupley. The review highlights that the second volume shifts focus from the early development of the AR-15 (covered in Volume I) to more modern iterations of the platform. It details the inclusion of foreign-made AR variants (Diemaco, Norinco, HK), the development of piston-driven AR models (Colt experimental, T65, HK 416, HK 417), and modern 7.62mm NATO AR-10 type rifles (M110, L129A1). The reviewer expresses pleasant surprise that the book leans into military applications rather than just commercial or competition models, finding the comparisons of different military iterations and accessories interesting.

This Winchester Proto-M14 prototype showcases significant weight reduction efforts, estimated at 7-8 pounds, through aluminum components and internal cutaways. It features a proprietary .308 NATO magazine and a modified M1 Garand receiver to accommodate the shorter cartridge.
