The IWI Micro Tavor (M.T.A.R 21), also designated X-95 and sometimes called Tavor-2, is a stand-alone extremely compact weapon specifically designed for special forces units, as well as military personnel who are normally not issued long assault rifles.
With the use of a relatively simple conversion kit, the M.T.A.R 21 can be converted from a 5.56 mm assault rifle to a 9 mm submachine gun loaded with 20, 25, and 32-round magazines. A suppressor can also be added to the weapon, it is part of the 9 mm conversion kit.
Issued to IDF Brigade Reconnaissance Companies.

Needs to square up on the target and lean forward slightly. Support foot slightly forward of the strong foot with a straight line between the heel and the back of her head. Helps with recoil.

Looks great for close quarters (not that I have any experience with it).
ReplyDeleteHope they have better luck with it than the Brits with the '85. Of course, few nations would design a weapon that will put a lefty in the hospital if he tried to shoot left handed...
