Welcome home! :usa:
I know jealousy is a sin but damn I'm sure a sinner!
I just read an article about the Tavor in the online January GUNS magazine, looked very promising.

OK, lets talk. I have seen the laydown, show the guns and this was my first ever exposure to the 'bullpup' design, albeit I have read and seen them since the 60's IIRC. But having put hands on I have got a whole new perspective.

Lets get Colt, Rem, Beretta, Ruger etc together tell them to call up IWI and go look see and shoot. I did and I came back a supporter of the bullpup and a rabid fan of IWI Tavor. Try picking up a M 16 platform, putting the buttstock on the end of your nose and shooting then on FA. Now consider this:
Characteristics:
Bull pup configuration.
Optimized ergonomic design.
30 Rds. Magazine capacity.
Body built of high strength impact modified polymer.
Detachable barrel.
Integrated reflex sight directly attached on to the barrel.
Conversion from day optics to night optics is done without the need of re-zeroing.
100% Ambidextrous thus making the use by right or left handed shooters easy.
Has true “OTB” (over-the beach) capability and can be safely fired after being submerged in water and not completely dry.
Designed for Minimum operator and armorer level maintenance, thus reducing maintenance and life cycle costs.
Folding back-up sights that include tritium for night combat.
Very easy field striping into 2 parts.
100% interchangeability with parts of the Tavor family, thus reducing the overall costs of the system.
Equipped with a last round stopper.
All the metal parts of the weapon are corrosion resistant.
Recoil absorbent butt pad for rifle grenade firing.
Comparison tests have proven the Tavor to posses the following significant operational advantages:
• Increases hit probability under fatigue and pressure.
• Superior reliability under extreme conditions.
• Uninterrupted day-to-night switch without re-zeroing.
• Ergonomic design for increased comfort and ease of use.
• Short rifle convenience with long barrel accuracy.
• Right and left handed operability.
18 in bbl for the Assault rifle in a 28 in overall platform, Colt M4, 14.5 in bbl, overall length 30 in You make the call...
NOTE: Word is the IDF will phase out the M 16 and phase in the Tavor over the next 10 years...time for the US to look and look hard IMO
Lets get some discussion going here pro and con
