Looks like the perfect assault rifle to use in confined and urban areas.

Nope. *Perfect* would include downward or forward-through-the-handguard ejection, making the rifle suitable for use by a left-handed or master-eyed shooter, or in urban or other close-quarters conditions, immediately possible without adjestment.

That the Tavor is adjustable to suit the needs of a leftie is a good start, and puts it ahead of most other bullpup offerings other than the French FAMAS G2 Clarion which can also be switched over. Less advanced designs such as the Austrian AUG or Australian F88 AusSteyer can be made lefthand-compatable with the addition of a special leftie-version upper assembly, but standard versions aren't capable of being so switched.

You only need a left-handed bolt to switch an AUG to shoot fairy, Archie.
