The T75 Light machine gun (Chinese: T75班用機槍/T75 squad machine gun) is produced by the 205th Arsenal, Ministry of Defense, Republic of China (Taiwan). The T75 is based on the proven Belgian-made FN Minimi LMG incorporating features from the T57 and T74 machine-guns with more modern features. The T75 is slightly heavier but shorter than the Minimi.[2] The T75 is deployed aboard Republic of China Navy and Coast Guard Administration vessels.[3]
