Tavor

Israel Military Industries is launching the new family of the TAVOR assault rifles. The weapon is offered in four configurations:

• The basic design - the T.A.R-21 Tavor Assault Rifle.
• A sharp-shooting configuration is offered as a squad weapon.
• For commando, airborne, paratroopers and special rescue units, as well as tank crews, a short Tavor assault rifle is offered.
• Micro T.A.R is specially configured for security forces and special missions.

avor 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.
