In our coverage of last year’s event we unveiled the new Gilboa Assault Pistol Rifle (APR). This year, Silver Shadow is displaying a Production ready model APR, an ultra compact weapon designed specifically for close quarter combat, VIP protection and special forces and commanders; the APR will also offer an excellent survival weapon for helicopter aircrews, offering improved range, accuracy and lethality, compared to pistols. The overall length of the Gilboa APR is 398mm, (15.6″) and its loaded weight is 2.820 kg (including a full 30 round magazine). The chrome lined barrel is 165mm (6.5″) in length, firing 5.56×45 (M-855/SS-109) rounds. The handgun comes with four Mil-STD 1913 Accessory Rails (Picatiny) providing attachment options for a wide range of accessories.
The new patented design incorporates a combined gas and recoil spring actuating system integrated in the weapon’s body, a feature enabling the designers to optimize the foldable stock in terms of weight and ergonomics, allowing the shooter to employ the weapon in shoulder firing position. In fact, the APR remains fully operational with the stock completely detached. Compared to Bullpup designs the APR is claimed to offer lighter, smaller and safer performance, as the chamber position is maintained as far as possible from the shooter, contributing to safer operation. Other ergonomic elements include a pistol grip that comes with built-in storage compartment.

................Mean looking weapon!!!
I want one for Christmas!
is that a .223 cal?
I would like to see it in a .204 Ruger.
How many prarie dogs can I take out?
Just one? What if the US Dept. Of Education comes knocking on your door?
Cool looing. Barrel is too short with the folding stock for regular sales if its even in semi-auto. Would have to be registered with the Feds as a short-barreled rifle and pay a transfer tax.
That is on my “To buy” list.
Meh, it’s another AR regurgitation. How about something new?
Gun porn ping
How Much?
He's probably paid off his student loans and thinks he's safe. What he doesn't realize is that the ex hasn't paid hers, and the neighbor down the street, and the guy on next street with the same house number, and his twelfth cousin three times removed, so he still needs more than one.
Well ain’t that cute.
Assault pistol rifle? Great. Once some reporter hears this phrase, everyone who is arrested with a revolver will be reported as possessing an “assault weapon”.
Want one now!
Fit nicely in a back pack
Just another .223 carbine isn’t it ?
Maybe the barrel is too short ?
I have a 6.8 stag carbine, have killed caribou at 550 yards with that gun; I bet one could do the same with that APR.
