We were invited to Israel to visit the IWI factory just outside of Tel Aviv. Obviously this was a one of a kind opportunity for both MAC and for the YouTube firearms community. We not only toured the home of the Tavor but also the Negev 5.56 and 7.62x51, the Jericho 941, Uzi, Galil ACE and the X95. After the factory tour we headed to the range and fired all of the weapons mentioned, which really was the highlight of the whole trip. It's one thing to see these amazing firearms, but getting to fire them? Out of this world!
We would like to thank IWI for their hospitality and for making this trip possible.

Tavor is an OK weapon system.
OK for accuracy. Optics work OK if not in the bright sunlight or dark.
Bullpup design looks cool but really only good for CQB.
I remember the Galil back in 79. Thing I loved the most? The bottle opener.

Looks cool, but not really very easy to take down & field strip.
