The IWI Tavor, originally fielded as the Tavor TAR-21, is an Israeli bullpup assault rifle chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO and produced by Israel Weapon Industries. Built around a long stroke gas piston system, it was designed through the 1990s and early 2000s to be reliable, durable and easy to maintain under harsh battlefield conditions. In 2009 a compact variant, the Tavor X95, was selected by the Israel Defense Forces to gradually replace the M16 and M4 as the standard rifle of Israeli infantry.
