Weapons Video!

A link to an Israeli (IWI) weapons site. A good video on the (bull-pup) Tavor weapons system.

I don't know anything about the Tavor, but using 9-11 images to sell their product isn't in good taste. Any defense contractor using 9-11 images to sell their product isn't right, IMHO. I'm cool with our government using it, but not private (or other nation's subsidized) contractors using them for marketing purposes.

From what little I know, they've had issues in the development of it over the years. I saw a Discovery/History channel thing, with a former SEAL as the host, checking the weapon out in Israel. He seemed to like it.

Wikipedia's entry on the Tavor.

Day and night sights you don't have to zero. How does that work?

Saw this on one of those Discovery Channel shows, seemed fairly effective. I wonder if the IDF has actually bought/fielded any of these, and if so how they performed during the recent "activities" in southern Lebanon?
