Israel Weapon Industries IWI Tavor Bullpup Rifle – SHOT Show 2013

[Barth]

2FSE6rmcQFA
That’s no typo. Beginning in March, Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) will have TAVORs for sale here in the United States,
and we caught a sneak peak of the famed bullpup at the SHOT Show.
This is the same gun designed by Israeli defense forces after the 1982 Israel-
Lebanon War, except it’s a semi-automatic—
so you, too, can take one home.
And with MSRPs that begin at $1,999,
it’s not a bad deal for something this cool,
although Julie Mac is holding out for one in pink
(currently they will be available in flat dark earth and black).
Chambered in 5.56 NATO, it has a magazine capacity of 30 cartridges.

One wonders why the IDF still uses the M16/M4 platform. What is it about the Tavor that they didn't like?

So true. If the IDF doers not want it why would I or anybody else for that matter. Cool looks matter not one bit to me. Functionality is all that matters to warriors.

!00% ambi. Jfootin should like that.

I like it a bunch. It is my favorite weapon from this year's SHOT show.

Old thread I know, but I thought I'd let you all know that it won't be long before all active combat units are issued Tavors. It's a process that's been underway for some time now.
Personally I love them, particularly the micro. I'm not sure if the micro will be offered in the States.

Like every weapons system they have plusses and minuses.
