Here is the picture. Another trendy but weird bullpup design. IMI built the Gallil, often considered the Cadillac of AK-47s. This means it may work better than the current Enfield bullpup, which has been plagued by problems from day one. The Styer AUG is probably the best of the bullpup designs currently in service.

The IDF will equip its troops with the new Tavor assault rifle, manufactured by Israel Military Industries.

Gee, where do you suppose they got the money for this?

The advantage of the M-4 is it could be bought with US military aid.

Gotta love it.

Wait and see if anybody else buys this bullpup? Interesting....

California or bust.

Does it come in a left hand model ? This actually looks like a .223 rifle I'd take a chance on.

I feel VERY SORRY for an troops who are issued these things. The Israelis do a lot of house clearing and a bullpup design makes this very difficult to do. When doing house clearing, you need to change which shoulder the gun is mounted on. When going around a right hand corner, you mount the gun on your left shoulder to help keep as much of your body behind cover as possible. The opposite goes for moving around a left hand corner, the weapon is mounted on the right shoulder.

A bullpup design makes this impossible without having rounds ejected DIRECTLY into your face. In order to use this gun, if you are going around a right hand corner, the gun must stay mounted on your right shoulder. This exposes most of your body to enemy fire. If this post is true, I feel bad for the troops who have to use this gun.
