I recently spent several months in Israel and I was amazed by all the firepower I saw. Everywhere I went I was surrounded by IDF and their no nonsense hardware. The most common weapon you'll find being carried is a Colt M-16 SHORT...I made the mistake of calling it an M4 and I was very quickly corrected. But along with the M-16 short was was the occasional M-16 A2 and even a Galil or two, but the most impressive rifle I was privileged to play around with was the IMI Tavor. I believe this rifle is the future of small arms...The short barreled version easily capable of CQB is equipped with a 16" barrel and can even be used as a marksman's rifle. The most amusing was the Tavor with a barrel mounted M203 launcher. Anyway, I wanted to know what everyone else thought of this fantastic platform...This picture was taken while in the West Bank in the town of Hebron.
