The Tavor T.A.R-21 Assault Rifle

"Tavor uses the proven, compact Bull pup design, which was optimized to best match the ergonomics and mission requirements of the modern warrior, providing natural handling, intuitive aiming from all firing positions and improved hit accuracy. Accuracy and target acquisition is enhanced, by the use of accurate aiming, through the use of an integral reflex optical reflective sight, which projects the aiming point on the center of the sight. Tavor has an attachment for additional sighting devices, such as a 3rd generation night vision sight, which can be installed with no zeroing. Tavor is gas operated, using rotating bolt action. All types use standard NATO 5.56mm ammunition (M855/SS109), accommodate a 30 round magazine and sustain a rate of fire of 750 - 900 rounds per minute, and have the following specifications: "

"Optional Accessory: Silencer."

On a 5.56 round?
Should this read: Suppressor?

About time we officially replaced the M16.

I am wondering how they are going to put an M-203 grenade launcher on this firearm.

Gentlemen,
I need the opinion of soldiers who have used the M-16 in a prolonged combat situation or who have interviewed them at length about their weapons.

I have found through my friends and contacts that there are many individuals in our military who are very dissatisfied with the M-16. As a person who is politically active, I am interested in effecting change in this area if it is warranted.

I would like to know if you think that this weapon should be changed to something else. Should there be a competition to change it or should the pentagon reissue new specs first.

All of this assumes the new weapon could fit into the Army’s “Land Warrior” system if need be.

Thanks for your time,
Grapeape
