The upper receiver has a full length optics rail with permanent folding iron sights, the handguard has M-LOK slots. The barrel has polygonal rifling and a new model of flash hider. Barrel life is improved from the 6,000 rounds of the T91 to 10,000 rounds. A universal bayonet mount is integrated into the upper.[1]
The lower receiver is ambidextrous allowing easier use by left handed shooters. It has four selector positions: safe, single, two shot burst, and full automatic.[2]
Chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO it is rated effective out to 600m. The rifle weights 3.5 kg.[2] In testing the T112 reportedly had a bullet spread of 9.8 centimeters at 100 meters.[3]
The unlike the T91 assault rifle, the T112 has a much more pronounced brass deflector whilst lacking a forward assist much like its predecessor.
