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 review tests the practical accuracy of the Taiwanese Type 91 rifle out to 500 yards under challenging wind conditions. The T91, utilizing a short-stroke gas piston system, demonstrated reliable engagement of targets from 150 to 450 yards, with the 500-yard shot requiring significant windage correction. The video also delves into the rifle's historical context, design evolution from the Type 65, and potential modernization paths.
