Israeli made Tavor to replace M-16

<< < (3/9) > >>

newman:
The Israeli designed/made Galil war the best combat rifle in the world. All the rugged reliability of the AK 47 with better ergonomics.

It was only killed off because of the f__!* foreign aid & dirt cheap M16s! >:(

Mifletzet:
If you want a long-range bullpup that fires .308, the Israelis can also oblige you!

It's a reconfigured M14/ M21.

Mifletzet:
Although it may not sound much, but the Israeli bullpup's 850mm length and 4.5kg weight can count a lot to some soldiers in real combat, versus the M21's 1118mm and 5.27kg.

newman:
I'd rather pack 9lbs of Galil that works 100% of the time than 7.5 lbs of M16 that constantly jams and fouls up.

I've heard of US soldiers in Iraq junking their M16s in favour of M14s despite the extra weight.
