IWI Tavor X95

Small Arms And Sidearms

The IWI Tavor X95 is an Israeli bullpup assault rifle and carbine developed by Israel Weapon Industries between 2003 and 2009 and selected as Israel's standard-issue infantry weapon in November 2009. It refines the earlier IWI Tavor TAR-21 by moving the charging handle closer to the pistol grip and adding a redesigned buttstock and a magazine release near the grip, making it more compact than the M4 carbine at 580 to 714 millimeters depending on configuration. The rifle uses a long-stroke gas-operated system with a rotating bolt and is chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, .300 AAC Blackout, or 5.45x39mm, with interchangeable components allowing conversion to a 9mm submachine gun configuration.
