The T86 (聯勤 Type 86) rifle is a gas-operated, magazine-fed, assault rifle. It is the second original rifle design conducted by the 205th Armory of Combined Logistics Command of the Republic of China Armed Forces. Though it saw limited production and service after a protracted development process, it became the basis of the T91 currently in volume production for the Taiwan armed forces.
