It was designed for Vietnam-style tropical climates and frequently jams in the desert. In addition, most of the rifles Israel received from the US were army surplus and in need of refurbishing. Despite this, the M-16 replaced Israeli-made Uzi and Galil guns, which were sold mostly to clients in Africa and South America.

Are Israeli planners crazy??
Galil is a good, reliable weapon. A bit heavy though.
But they should lose the M-16 as fast as possible. This is a perfect example how the American "aid" hearts Israel.
The Tavor is a very good news. It's light, reliable, designed specifically for the type of missions fulfilled by IDF, and (very important) Israeli made.
Btw., I like bullpup guns. Several European armies are using them exclusively.

idk much about weapons but i know israelis come up with sick guns i loved corner shot and this is crazy one

mord:
The tavor is is very accurate a distant range i saw it being used

The Galil is a good gun, but like all guns it has problems, according to this its weight and accuracy, making it not too popular in Israel itself http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/small-arms-personal-weapons/1515-galil-assault-rifle.html

Though bank robber Tom Sizemore used a Galil with good effect in the film "Heat" to blow away many of LA's finest!
