Been published Sunday that there will be a new rifle that will be in production in the Israeli Military Industries. The price tag, $1500 a gun. This is a gun that uses 2 types of weapon characteristics. This will be the new gun given to some special forces divisions in the IDF.

Called the "Micro Dabor"

Does it come in nickle-plate with ivory handles?

Israeli Special Forces says the Dabor, Tabor whatever the hell it's called sucks. The rifle is hard to manuever with one hand and it costs way more than an M-16/M-4.

Looks like a handgun with an incongrous fat stock and a tits-on-a-boar-hog scope.

Now this is a great gun.

A on looks, C on effectiveness, F on cost-efficiency.

Love the Uzi though.

[AF68]

Yep, another finicky bullpup weapon with a tricky-to-insert-magazine-in-the-stock and mucho-muzzle-blast-close-to-your- face design. The IDF will wish they had their old M16's and M4's back.

Negev - Light Machine Gun (LMG) Negev

[VadeRetro]

Now this is a great gun.

I guess I'd take one on a trial basis. ;)

Desert Eagle

Although an American idea, the "Desert Eagle" was developed in Israel by the IMI (Israel Military Industries) in the early 1980s. The first Desert Eagles were manufactured in Israel and started appearing on gun dealers' shelves in the US around 1985. Following a problem in meeting demand for the pistols in 1992 (and probably fearful of the prospect of government import limitations), Magnum Research started assembling parts of the gun in the US and currently is working toward full assembly and possibly manufacture of the guns stateside

Nice!! I'm bookmarking just for the guns alone. Do you have more and also add some tanks, APCs, and other Israeli weapons.

It was interestiung that one of the recommendations out of Afghanistan was improving long range rifle capabilities (both traing and possibly weapons).

[Sparta]

Bullpups suck. Also, we need to get rid of the 5.56 round and switch to a 6x45mm or 6.5mm round for our rifles and machine guns. Keep 7.62 NATO for medium machine guns though.
