The Trinh-Hoang 91-13 was a bolt-action rifle developed and designed in Quenmin. It became the standard issue of the Imperial Quenminese Army during the First Europan War and the Second Europan War.

After examining the Imperial Gewehr 98 rifle, Quenminese engineers decided to apply the principles of the Gewehr 98 rifle and produced the Trinh-Hoang 91-13. In design, it proved to be a sturdy weapon, having integrated polygonal grooves instead of traditional grooves which caused the barrel to wear out less. It was also easily maintainable and proved to be superior than the Gallian M1903 GSR Rifle, the Erebonian Krag-Mauserheim M98, the Joyonghean Kangjon-Ryong Rifle, or the M98 Dubois Rifle that Lorica and Joyonghea had issued to its troops. It also gave the Quenminese a better stopping power than the Joyongheans during the Third Joyonghean-Quenminese War, which the rifle itself was mostly used in the conflict. Numerous Joyonghean troops even swapped their unreliable M98 rifle for the Trinh-Hoang. However, it proved to be less reliable once it was compared to the Lee-Enfield or even the Gallian M1 Theimer.
