Project Israel To Do:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Units in service

The TAR-21 has just entered service with the Golani Brigade as well as the Givati Brigade as of August 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.139.152.16 (talk) 22:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have a friend in Kfir brigade who also has a TAR-21 as his personal weapon - AvihooI.

Logic Edit

For anyone who cares, I removed a statement that was logically incorrect about rifles. The article said, before the edit that the rifle requires partial disassembly to swap from lefty to righty ejection. That is true. The article then said that a result of this is that a shooter can not shoulder the weapon to go around a corner on the "wrong" shoulder, and that this problem is unusual among rifles. Most rifles in the world today are not easily configurable for right-handed or left-handed operation, without disassembly. The most prolific rifles in the world at the moment (the AK-47 and M-16 families) can not be modified at all, most components must be replaced, including the receiver, to allow left-handed operation. Even with these "flaws", either can be fired from either shoulder, with a minor inconvenience to the shooter if it is on the "wrong" shoulder. So both of those points are incorrect. 64.102.254.33 (talk) 17:27, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

addition

on fps creator, there is a weaopn called tavor. should that be included? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 97.81.109.36 (talk) 21:02, 29 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

No? Koalorka (talk) 21:40, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

maximum Range

On the Maximum range it says 3600m, That is more than a standard issue sniper rifle. Can this be changed to the correct range, and/or does anyone know the correct Maximum range? --91.105.29.13 10:55, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ithink taht this was made with a some of Isreali prejudice. There seem to be some of mistakes that glorifi the weapon.

I think whoever wrote that meant 360 meters, not 3600. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zeratul2k (talkcontribs) 22:15, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The maximum range is how far the bullet travels if unimpeded, and they often go much, much further than their effective range. The figure is not a mistake. Geoff B 22:29, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
They ALWAYS go further than their effective range. Otherwise, correct (-: --212.235.85.149 (talk) 19:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Issued?

has the Tavor been issued to Israeli infantry yet? 82.47.137.100 19:39, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AFAIK, no. I suppose it's possible, but not likely, that some of their SOF units have seeing as the SOF units of all nations don't always tell you what they use.65.54.154.46 (talk) 05:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC)13tawaazun14[reply]

Just read the service section. 86.84.221.109 (talk) 00:04, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Both of these comments are older then what is shown. I entered one of them like 2 years before my service changed.13Tawaazun14 (talk) 23:15, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another country using Tavor that is not mentioned

I saw a video by the Croatian army and they seem to use the Tavor. Would someone with more expertise look this up, and then add it to the page?
