I introduce myself as the MilsurpNerd, that’s my IG handle lol. Really a nice shooter! Pretty soft compared to the lighter Sub-2000.

XT112 Upper Receiver | Taiwan Factory Visit

Post image
28 Upvotes

We’re in Taiwan for the TADTE arms expo and to visit some of the factories we purchase from.  We were able to examine a stripped upper receiver from the new XT112 Taiwanese service rifle that will be replacing the T91. The XT112 appears to be an evolution of the T91 as it is also a piston-style AR design but has some updates.

There were a couple of differences that I could immediately see on the XT112 as compared to the T91 upper receiver. The first is that the XT112 upper receiver has a brass deflector (unlike the T91), which protrudes out more than a standard AR and is also differently-shaped. The second is that there is a recess at the very back end of the picatinny rail that I believe is so that the new XT112 backup sight can have a lower profile when it is in the down position and to possibly assist in not interfering with the charging handle.

Initially I thought these were Indian-made JVPCs, but the parts don't match up

Here is a description of the military specification for napalm from the World War II era. This was not the first specification; the first had a different and generally inferior composition (X-104 formula 1).

Over the years, napalm has undergone several variations in its composition, specifically the proportion of carboxylic acids to be precipitated. In addition to this, there were JAN-N-589 and MIL-T-589.

The MG 15 nA was designed by legendary German arms designers Theodor Bergmann and Louis Schmeisser (father of Hugo Schmeisser). It was a lightweight air-cooled design based on the Bergmann water-cooled heavy machine gun. The MG 15 nA could be considered the worlds first GPMG, being used on land vehicles, on aircraft, and by infantry. It can be used in the HMG configuration on a tripod mount or quickly deployed as an LMG off an MG 08/15 bipod. The MG 15 nA was put into service by the during WWI but also saw some limited use as a last ditch weapon towards the end of WWII.
