Small arms and Light Weapons

It does not have a bottom ejection port and none of the guns competing have bottom pic rails, they have mlok slots which the textron has aswell.

Please observe the firing mechanism. The whole thing is designed around the idea that one round must be chambered and fired while another is ejected at the same time.

That is is weird and unnecessarily complex.

I was rooting for GE, sadly they lost.

GE lost as soon as they went for a bullpup.

Not unreasonable, especially since the round would need a longer barrel to take full advantage.... Bullpup was the way to make it reasonably sized. Sig made theirs reasonably sized by making chamber pressure ridiculous.

As far as I know they haven't been able to sell even one Glock to civilians.

so we've got a Taiwanese Friend here, a fellow milk chai enjoyer
@MilkTeaAlliance32 Hello Friend!

Since this thread is for discussion on various small arms etc, Could you please provide some overview on small arms scenario in the Taiwanese armed forces as well as civilian ownership of firearms there ?

it seems most of the service rifles of Taiwanese defense forces are based on american M16 and derivatives, starting with T-65 rifle that is a version of M16 with AR-18-ish short stroke gas piston system (without forward assist on it, strangely), later came T-86 rifle and now T-91 carbine is standard issue,
then there is a Beretta M9 derivative there T-75 pistol etc
and as per wikipedia there is licensed produced M-14 (strange choice in my view) named T-57 rifle and some other licensed produced things like M-203 UBGL, Uzi SMG and M24 rifle etc...

They also say that We, Indians bought about 400 some of T-91 rifles for our Special Forces here but frankly speaking yet to see a proper confirming pic about it, we see Tavors now and then and very old era pics even had original AR-18 in hands of some SF Personnel here, but no T-91 clearly being shown so far (as far as my memory serves), while of course it's also hard to differentiate between that and M4 carbines we have in SF services in case there are some pics but not clear enough to point out these things etc...

So what could you share about Taiwanese small arms from your side ? any pics-videos also appreciated

I'm really not the best expert at specific details per se; I usually study broader geopolitics, regional conflicts and the events behind them.

But this website should give you more information:

Taiwan has also begun production of different kinds of weapons earlier this year, and much of the weaponry still comes from American and other Western states:

Taiwan to begin mass production of 18 types of weapons, military equipment this year | Taiwan News | 2022-03-03 16:08:00

Production of Hsiung Sheng, Wan Chien missiles could be completed ahead of schedule | 2022-03-03 16:08:00

I find the whole T91 purchase thing to bw bullshit, not one has been seen in combat or training. Its like the secret para sf kit, it does not exist.

Too complex for a soldier to carry into rapidly developing battle. Only good for urban warfare.

i'd say the opposite

Hein!!

Technically it's even more simpler than SIG's original MCX series...
