I was a soldier in Israel 2012-2013 in the Givati brigade. Everyone had the Micro Tavor including myself. That weapon is straight out of halo. Such an amazing platform. The way you can swivle and manipulate it in very tight spaces and still hit targets 400m out on a dime. Did I mention it is as tough as nails? This weapon needs no coddling, it just performs. I will be getting the x95 very soon!
THE ELECTRONIC INTIFADA You are here Israelis shoot boy in head, take revenge against his family Ali Abunimah Rights and Accountability 20 December 2017. I read the whole article and so many others like it, this is what proud of? Shooting unarmed teenagers in the face with rubber coated bullets and jailing their relatives because teenage girls fearlessly stood up to soldiers from your former brigade? It's real easy to pretend to be a tough warrior when harassing unarmed kids. Do you really think commiting genocide against unarmed people because American taxes pay for it and u.s. service men do all the fighting for Israel if the people have weapons to fight back actually makes you tough as nails? I bet the SS officers in the concentration camps thought they were tough too, they certainly thought they were just as right to wage their final solution against the jews as you Israelis think you are right to do it to the Palestinians but, you are just as wrong as they were.
@@robdeskrd - Nobody gives a shit. Literally. Get the fuck outta here, we are here for the gun, not the politics. Also, like he has a choice, don't you know that military service is mandatory in Israel? Just shut up, dude.
Tim, I got an X95 but I'm a lefty. Sent it off to Copper Customs for the conversion. Phenomenal customer service. Had the rifle back in under two weeks and it works flawlessly. Great work!
I finished my IDF service in 2009. At the time nearly everyone save the Givati brigade was still using M16s/M4s as standard. A transfer from Givati to my unit on my 2nd to last day was allowed to bring his tavor with him. I fell in love with the gun at first sight, unfortunately, I never got to fire one. Now they are pretty much ubiquitous in front line units. If I ever get back to the US, I so plan on getting an x95.
@@vitalyyazamir606 actually the owner of that TAR21 didn't much care for it, but the newer versions I hear are way better and are for the most part, standard issue in combat units now, despite being FAR more expensive.
do you think that you could sand down the mag release guard because I have big hands as well and it looks a little awkward? and I was curious if the new pistol grip came with or you had to buy it separate?
Hey Mac, I was looking for an optic like the one on the X95 for around that price and it'd be super awesome if you could maybe do a review (or torture test) on it sometime. I really like the channel by the way, real quality stuff.
One of the things I always appreciate with your videos is that you address us left-handed shooters. How difficult is it to convert the new X95 to left handed eject and what is the approximate cost of a left handed bolt?
The thorough video you did on the Tavor helped solidify my purchase over a year ago and, after watching this, I might be sold on the X95. The additional sling mount, the slimmer feel, lighter trigger, and the rail system look like huge improvements. I'm not sold on the mag release though, I love that trigger on my Tavor.
I think I watched one, maybe two videos on the X95 before deciding I wanted one. I didn’t go looking for it, but boy did I find it. One trip to the range, and I’ve pretty much decided to not use my AR anymore outside of practice for small arms qualification. It’s the rifle I take anytime and anywhere.
Bought an X95 a few weeks ago and love it. As a lefty, I can shoot in it's "shelf" (RH) configuration. But, I couldn't snuggle up to the stock as intimately as I like, without taking brass to the chin. So, I was pulling my hair out trying to find a LH bolt. After several inquiries to IWI and absolutely no response, I decided to check out Copper Customs. I emailed and got a response from (can't remember his name) who told me to give him a call. I did, ordered and no more than two days later, I have a LH X95. Very pleased with this rifle and moreover, Copper Custom Armament.
Kilo 3 Alpha Ronin i had saved up for the Tavor and then accidentally found out that the X95 was coming out. Bought it instead and have loved it every sense
A good sling option is to look online for an actual military issue IDF sling. I brought one back from Israel with me and bought a couple more online (gotta look around.) The genuine article has a seatbelt-type strap, wide and extremely comfortable, distributes the weight well and is quite rugged. The clips are metal with some kind of cerakote finish, and not a cheap backpack clip either. Overall a premium sling and is certainly the best two point sling I've ever seen. I'm currently getting enough of them to put on all of my rifles
+alaskajohn907 Yep, good sling. I have one on the Evo3. There's the problem though. The US X95 has fullsized 1.25" swivels. So the little metal clips of the original IDF sling scrape up and down the big swivel and cause a mess. I wish I had some smaller studs to put on the X95 instead so the IDF sling would fit properly.
FYI for MAC and others interested: IWI told me on their Facebook page 2 days ago that the left hand X95s will be shipping within a week or so, so they should become available soon! I'm a southpaw so I'm stoked to hear this! I've been saving up for my first Tavor and was going to get one of the OD green lefty ones Copper Custom has, but now think I'll wait for the lefty X95 instead especially if the trigger has been improved! Great video MAC! Great to see the X95 finally on the market, can't wait to see more of it and get my own!!
Military Arms Channel No problem! I'll watch Copper Custom's social media feeds and store website, and once you have a lefty X95 I'll be sure to snatch one up from you guys once next payday rolls around! Fitting to buy it from you since you spawned most of my urge to buy one in the first place haha! :) Keep up the good work sir!
I'd like to see a torture test or comparison video between the X95, CZ Bren and ARX 100. This is one of the few channels that give the last 2 any attention.
Very sweet rifle. I regrettably never got around to picking up a Tavor but I'll definitely be getting on of these in an FDE Left-Hand configuration when available. Nice vid, MAC. Many thanks.
+nochitlins I can see that. I think the rear end looks a little bland (I like the swoopy lines of the Tavor) but overall I think it's a great looking rifle.
+Military Arms Channel yeah I know how you feel man with the weather I live in ohio like you say it rain snow get warm and cold all with in 5 to 10 min but love the videos man
Just want to say I like the way you dont use bad language or anything you have a channel that you can watch with a kid just wanted to say that like it clean and very informative God bless America
Wow. I'm not going to lie and say that initially I had the "So what?" attitude about the X95. Looks like I was wrong. And the price on Atlantic and Copper Custom are reasonable as far as I'm concerned.
Picked one up today for $1699. . .only got 60 rounds through it before sunset but I'm very impressed. I think a Geissele Super Sabra will be in the mail in the very near future!!
MDPrepper for that price it should have a great trigger It should have a great trigger for that out of the box price But if you can fool yourself that the firearm is still great with a bad factory trigger it's good
my channel It's a bullpup and they naturally have rougher triggers due to the increased distance from the trigger to the firing mechanism. . .it's a sacrifice you make to get a more compact rifle with the trigger in front of the magazine
Screw off with the trigger shit. the trigger is just a little mushy with a little bit of travel, at least for the Tavor and I have never even noticed it.
Thanks again MAC for the work you do. Made my choice of purchasing an orginal Tavor SAR for 1099.00 a no brainer from Palmetto state...what a steal. thanks again.
I got the same deal! Crazy price on this thing from PSA, I've been eyeballing it for a while and haven't seen it new for less than $1,400.00. I had this purchased less than three minutes after getting the email from PSA. The only difference is it looks like his is 16 inch and the one we got is 18.
Mac, I just wanna say, "thanks for abusing things!" LOL! That way, we know how they're pretty much gonna run under less-than-favorable conditions. Had my US Army issued M-16A2 fail on me once (and get me "killed," when I absolutely had the drop on the guy and *should* have been able to "kill" him), on an "escape and evasion" course in Germany... I just had no way of keeping it clean under the combat conditions (on the move) I was training in at the time. From then on, I was an "AK guy," when it came to my personal battery... The M70-AB2 I ended up buying, later, had no such "reliability" issues! Looks like this X-95 may just bring me back into the ".223/5.56 fold," but we'll see... Thanks SO much for your videos!! 🖒😎
+FuinOhtar LoL, what an unimpressive rifle. With that much open gaps and slots, no wonder IDF complains about it jamming and prefer M4s. Like Argularguy said, all hype, walk away.
lol "open gaps and slots"---shows what you know about firearms. The reason the IDF went with Tavors and not M4's is because they rarely ever jam, even up against water, mud, etc and after firing thousands of rounds without cleaning. The X95 epitomizes the phrase "function over form". Being too expensive for American consumers is not of concern to IWI.
IWI has a functional weapon used everyday in wartime conditions. They have to get it right the first time because everyone else in the region is looking to kill them.
@@wessc1140 tbh they have m16 from before tavor got developed... but now efforts to replace the m16's with new Israeli made assault rifle (tavor, negev or carmel) are made.
Awesome video MAC. Love the detailed treatment you give to various firearms (cost information, magazines, heat transfer and more). This is why I subscribe.
Wow! These are HUGE mods which seem to be VERY well considered and carried out. The "long reach" charging handle on the Tavor always felt awkward to me; I'm especially glad they've changed that.
I can't wait to fire the X95. I constantly had training with the IDF and Thai Army so it would be fun to snap some time to fire the X95 against the TAR-21 and my stupidly hated SAR-21.
I've been waiting for this video from you Tim ever since I heard about the x-95 coming to America, I really liked where you tore down the rifle so Tavor owners could compare the difference between the two...I'm very excited to see future video's from you on this rifle since I'm also a tavor lover interested in IWI's newest offering.One thing is for sure,I definitely knew you were excited,for you to stand out in that weather just to bring us first shots proves in my book you love this stuff!!! Thank you Tim
Can't believe how quiet it is and very little recoil. I wonder what the range of the weapon is. I'm thinking effective range around 300 metres. Very nice rifle
As a long time sub to this channel, and virtual Friend and supporter, I will gladly take your old Tavor off your hands, no problem, thank you, and your welcome!~~JohnPS THUMBS UP!
+762x35mm not at all, still non restricted. The RCMP do not have the power to enact arbitrary bans, only to classify firearms according to the existing legal framework.
I finnally got one two days ago! This thing is beautiful, its and FDE X95 just like the one in the video! I traded a lefted handed AR15 with an EOTech 557 and Gen2 magnifier, an M44 Mosin-Nagant, and a gen1 XD9SC plus $750 out of pocket for my X95. So now in addition to the X95 I still own 1 AR15 SPR build, 1 Henry .22 lever action, one 870 Tactical, and 1 custom 10/22 with tacsol barrel ect. The X95 seems a bit on the heavy side but I love the compact size, the color, the integrated BUIS with tritum front sight, the AR mag compatibility, the controls/ergos. I won't be able shoot it for a couple weeks but so far I'm really excited for this rifle, eventually I'll get a TRU-DOT RDS for it.
Fantastic video, and a really good review. Solidifies my decision on trying to get my hands on one. Wouldn't be surprised if the X95, after a few years, was given the title of best bullpup ever made. A small profile like that, AND it still has a 16.5" barrel? Nice.
+madsam07 last thing i heard was that shipping should start end of q1 to the youtubers and pre-orderers and early q2 the rifles should be available in stores (if they don't get sold out in seconds)
+Range Time That's understandable, what is not is them realizing dates than pushing it back. In my opinion, and many others, that is just bs. Plenty of people preordered the things, I sorta feel like they took those orders in order to use the money for the development. Of course I could be wrong about it, hell I'm not even sure IF people have preordered for sure just hear things on the down low. So take that with a grain of salf, but either way it is sorta bs to keep pushing back a date when you've already done so. Have a good one man!
Just got an OD green X95 in 5.56 and I really like it, I especially like the rear weight distribution. With my S&W AR that thing is on the front heavy side, even more so with a fully loaded mag, and after running about 3 mags my support arm starts to tire. With my X95, though, after 3 mags I don't get even a hint of fatigue from my support arm, I feel like I could shoot it all day and not get tired. Right now, if I had to reach in my safe to choose a home defence rifle or a rifle to bring to the range, my first choice would be my X95, the compact size and rear weight bias just fit me better than my AR does.
I despise this state now...BLM running the streets while we cannot defend ourselves because of religious extremists. It's freedom of religion (and racial self-pity) gone mad. What about freedom _from_ religion and personal responsibility in the black community?! Sorry, didn't mean to rant. I just can't stand the illogical political climate from both the Left and Right...
Samuraislash600 And the worst part is the ease of which you can get sued by the assailant's family, and the strict circumstances in which deadly force is authorized. The self-defense laws are just as bad as the gun laws and no-one cares. I wish I could get more of us to move to Arizona or Nevada. Maybe Oregon. Make a state that has progressive social policies AND good gun/self-defense laws. it shouldn't be that freaking hard. The Czech Republic does it...
vgman94 I personally am not a fan of progressive social policies. (Not a proponent of gay marriage but if you want to be gay, I won't get in the way.) I may move to Chattanooga. I have heard from some friends that they not only have great gun laws in Tennessee, but a great fiber community as well.
dont hold your breath it is a hew company considering the US military subsidizes half of the Israeli military you would think that we would get these at a discounted price
+Kevin Greenleaf Your first mark is NOT true. Second, IWI is a private company. And third, Israel is getting money to use on American made products, and in return its getting so much more. such as important intelligence for the USA security and cutting edge technology.
Why would you say this Jared Davis? There is no justification for apartheid states or commiting a slow motion genocide, especially not against a population with no military weapons and an age demographic of 40%+ 14 years or younger...... The religion inspired genocide of the Palestinians is no different than the pogroms waged against the Jews in the Diaspora but if it is completed it will be a greater atrocity than the Holocaust. Put the hammer down and give peace and cooperation a chance to make the world better.
Thanks for the upload. I still won't be getting one of these though. Being a left-handed long gun shooter, I would need a left ejecting bolt to prevent brass and gas to the face. However, that would mean my right-handed friends and family shooting the Tavor or X95 would instead get brass and gas to their faces. They need to develop a bolt that can be swapped on the fly, or better yet a bottom ejecting gun.
+Blake Adamson But without wearing protective visors / glases the gun gasses are just too much for me in my opinion not being worth the $$$ spent on it!
departed402 i have a lefty modified tavor and LOVE it. Friends and familly? It's my rifle, they adapt. Like everything we lefty have to adapt for. Now getting an X95 with my Tavor? Probably not. Too $$ for my budget to get both (and optics).
Having fired the X-95, it has addressed essentially every concern I had regarding the original Tavor. It's OEM trigger, now, is very usable for most people, in most situations, right out of the box... and more importantly, the magazine release is located where it should be. I was always afraid that the trigger release, being located where it was on the Tavor, could be prone to possible inadvertent/accidental magazine release, even by large, gloved hands in cold environments. The improved design of the rail system (there if you need it, covered if you don't) is "icing on the cake". For a SHTF/EOW design, nothing can or will beat an AR-15, simply because of ubiquity, parts availability and ability for said parts to be obtained, bought, sold, or traded, for a long, long time to come. Taking a SHTF/EOW scenario out of consideration, if you like want a quality bullpup design, I don't see it getting much better than the IWI X-95 and I'm buying one, at least. When the .300 Blackout conversion kits becomes available, feral hog hunters are going to be in... well... "hog heaven".
I was a soldier in Israel 2012-2013 in the Givati brigade. Everyone had the Micro Tavor including myself. That weapon is straight out of halo. Such an amazing platform. The way you can swivle and manipulate it in very tight spaces and still hit targets 400m out on a dime. Did I mention it is as tough as nails? This weapon needs no coddling, it just performs. I will be getting the x95 very soon!

IWI has a functional weapon used everyday in wartime conditions. They have to get it right the first time because everyone else in the region is looking to kill them.
Wes Sc you broke bro? Quit hating
@@wessc1140 tbh they have m16 from before tavor got developed... but now efforts to replace the m16's with new Israeli made assault rifle (tavor, negev or carmel) are made.
Best gun channel on youtube at this point. no one can compete with this man's quality and quantity of content
+5.56 Or 5.45? Thank you.
+Military Arms Channel no doubt
These are just under $3000 here in Canada. You guys are lucky
Awesome video MAC. Love the detailed treatment you give to various firearms (cost information, magazines, heat transfer and more). This is why I subscribe.
+fjamato Thank you, it's greatly appreciated.
3:35 The suppressor makes the gunshot sounds like GBB airsoft guns, thats cool. :D
Amazing rifle. I didn't have noticed with one click chamber is loaded. awesome
Wow! These are HUGE mods which seem to be VERY well considered and carried out. The "long reach" charging handle on the Tavor always felt awkward to me; I'm especially glad they've changed that.
I hope they come out with the left handed FDE version soon! I appreciate and enjoy your videos.
I can't wait to fire the X95. I constantly had training with the IDF and Thai Army so it would be fun to snap some time to fire the X95 against the TAR-21 and my stupidly hated SAR-21.
Which camp?
@@umarmars47 That was ages ago buddy. We used to have rotation training with the Thai Army. Just tossed my papers 2 years back before covid hits.
Watched this video at least 3 or 4 times before I made my purchase a few days ago. I'm happy.
It's a shame about the AUG, I've always had a soft spot for them. I should get one to keep it alive and it would look good with my Steyr Scout.
***** I understand that, Mac said that they are being bought less and less and I am worried they will and up like the FS2000.
I was in the market for a Tavor and I'm glad I waited! This looks awesome!
I've been waiting for this video from you Tim ever since I heard about the x-95 coming to America, I really liked where you tore down the rifle so Tavor owners could compare the difference between the two...I'm very excited to see future video's from you on this rifle since I'm also a tavor lover interested in IWI's newest offering.One thing is for sure,I definitely knew you were excited,for you to stand out in that weather just to bring us first shots proves in my book you love this stuff!!! Thank you Tim
I don't need it, I don't need it, I definitely don't need it.
I NEEEEEEED IT!!!!!!
Excellent work done by Isreal 👍👍👍👍
MAC I would like to see a video showing barrel swaps on the X95.
I want this rifle so bad.
Great video as always. Keep up the great work!
Can't believe how quiet it is and very little recoil. I wonder what the range of the weapon is. I'm thinking effective range around 300 metres. Very nice rifle
As always you provide very in dept videos my friend. Keep up the great work.
As a long time sub to this channel, and virtual Friend and supporter, I will gladly take your old Tavor off your hands, no problem, thank you, and your welcome!~~JohnPS THUMBS UP!
+WORRO01 Nope! I can't get rid of it. We've been too many places and shoot too much ammo together. :)
I love it when you extend the opening song!
Cant wait to have mine here in Canada
waiting for mine too!!!! supposed to be in february
Awesome. I now know which one I'm getting next. Great Episode
Definitely looking forward to seeing these in Canuckistan.
+762x35mm not at all, still non restricted. The RCMP do not have the power to enact arbitrary bans, only to classify firearms according to the existing legal framework.
"THAT'S WHAT i DO, I ABUSE THINGS"! That is why I watch your vid's.
+onlychevys Williams But, but, but, according to the trolls I'm a paid shill! :) Thanks for watching and the continued support.
I really enjoyed your review. You may have converted me. Sadly, I don’t live in Free America so I’ll have to wait until I can move.
@Wookie Boy lol 😂. I love in California. America 🇺🇸, just not free America.
I finnally got one two days ago! This thing is beautiful, its and FDE X95 just like the one in the video! I traded a lefted handed AR15 with an EOTech 557 and Gen2 magnifier, an M44 Mosin-Nagant, and a gen1 XD9SC plus $750 out of pocket for my X95. So now in addition to the X95 I still own 1 AR15 SPR build, 1 Henry .22 lever action, one 870 Tactical, and 1 custom 10/22 with tacsol barrel ect. The X95 seems a bit on the heavy side but I love the compact size, the color, the integrated BUIS with tritum front sight, the AR mag compatibility, the controls/ergos. I won't be able shoot it for a couple weeks but so far I'm really excited for this rifle, eventually I'll get a TRU-DOT RDS for it.
And sold!!
Thanks for the review. Everyone I know who has a Tavor luvs it. Looks like the X95 is destined for the same.
Gorgeous rifle.
Fantastic video, and a really good review. Solidifies my decision on trying to get my hands on one. Wouldn't be surprised if the X95, after a few years, was given the title of best bullpup ever made. A small profile like that, AND it still has a 16.5" barrel? Nice.
22:24 "I have really long features.... er... fingers."
I see what you did there
+PHOBOSakaSHELLY Hehe.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME VIDEO. Keep up the fantastic work gentlemen!
+David Mandell Thank you and thank you for your support.
I love my X95. 💕
Always thought the military variant of the X95 rifle is pretty cool-looking. Neat little gun that looks like it means business.
Damnit. I spent so much on the first one. How am I gonna sell this to my wife?
@@gulfrelay2249 the toughest decisions require the strongest of wills. Wife got to go! :D
give her the old one first.... then tell you need to by one for yourself so you'll have matching rifles.. girls love it when we match
Tell her to mind her own business.
What I do is give the wife FU money buy your gun of choice and give her cash for what she wants equivalent of what your gun of choice cost.
I bought the Tavor because you liked it so much. It's not disappointed. I love that bloody thing.
Is it some trick of the camera (or my headphone) that the suppressed Tavor and the unsuppressed X95 sound basically the same?
I'm really not the guy that subscribes to channels, but your content is definitely subscribe worthy. Good shit sir 🖒
I still wish I would've bought a FS2000 but I may pick up a PS-90 in the future...
+GrOuNdZeRo7777 Dangerous Things Channel me too man, such a damn tragedy. Shoulda woulda coulda
Just a great presentation of both the Tavor and the new X95...Well done and thanks! ;-)
When will the Desert Tech video come? The MDR's should be shipping right now...
+Range Time Are you serious another redesigning??!?
+madsam07 last thing i heard was that shipping should start end of q1 to the youtubers and pre-orderers and early q2 the rifles should be available in stores (if they don't get sold out in seconds)
+Range Time ok, i'll find myself a cave where i can cry, and i will come out 2020, maybe the rifle is ready then...
+Range Time That's understandable, what is not is them realizing dates than pushing it back. In my opinion, and many others, that is just bs. Plenty of people preordered the things, I sorta feel like they took those orders in order to use the money for the development. Of course I could be wrong about it, hell I'm not even sure IF people have preordered for sure just hear things on the down low. So take that with a grain of salf, but either way it is sorta bs to keep pushing back a date when you've already done so. Have a good one man!
+Range Time releasing?
Love my Tavor thanks for sharing the X95, guess I will be getting one of those to. Thanks
Good God you are a scourge to my bank account.
hahahaha. This makes me want to trade my tavor for the new x95
Just got an OD green X95 in 5.56 and I really like it, I especially like the rear weight distribution.
With my S&W AR that thing is on the front heavy side, even more so with a fully loaded mag, and after running about 3 mags my support arm starts to tire.
With my X95, though, after 3 mags I don't get even a hint of fatigue from my support arm, I feel like I could shoot it all day and not get tired.
Right now, if I had to reach in my safe to choose a home defence rifle or a rifle to bring to the range, my first choice would be my X95, the compact size and rear weight bias just fit me better than my AR does.
watching this while depressed. CA rained on my parade today =(
I despise this state now...BLM running the streets while we cannot defend ourselves because of religious extremists. It's freedom of religion (and racial self-pity) gone mad. What about freedom _from_ religion and personal responsibility in the black community?! Sorry, didn't mean to rant. I just can't stand the illogical political climate from both the Left and Right...
+vgman94 I live in California too. I plan to move out after college. I've never felt safe here. I can't even get a concealed carry permit. :/
Samuraislash600 And the worst part is the ease of which you can get sued by the assailant's family, and the strict circumstances in which deadly force is authorized. The self-defense laws are just as bad as the gun laws and no-one cares. I wish I could get more of us to move to Arizona or Nevada. Maybe Oregon. Make a state that has progressive social policies AND good gun/self-defense laws. it shouldn't be that freaking hard. The Czech Republic does it...
vgman94 I personally am not a fan of progressive social policies. (Not a proponent of gay marriage but if you want to be gay, I won't get in the way.) I may move to Chattanooga. I have heard from some friends that they not only have great gun laws in Tennessee, but a great fiber community as well.
You can still get it lol
I have the gen 1 with the Shootingsight trigger kit and Super Sabra Lightning Bow Trigger. Getting 4 pounds trigger pull.
*I'm crossing my fingers that this will cause a drop in Tavor prices*
me too
dont hold your breath it is a hew company considering the US military subsidizes half of the Israeli military you would think that we would get these at a discounted price
+Kevin Greenleaf Your first mark is NOT true.
Second, IWI is a private company.
And third, Israel is getting money to use on American made products, and in return its getting so much more. such as important intelligence for the USA security and cutting edge technology.
+Gun Runnerz It should. Only time will tell.
+Eduardo I also enjoyed gun rights and do not support Israel as they are extremely anti-gun they make New York California and the UK look like Arizona
Great video MAC. I need this rifle in my life!
Yayyyy, Tavor shilling. J/k, been looking forward to this one.
I got mine yesterday and I love it.
They should have made the rifle longer by giving it a longer barrel, not by lengthening it else where. A longer barrel is at least functional.
+AKDMB exactly what I was thinking--18 would have been great too, maybe they will offer in 18 in like they did the original
No, dumb.
pretty detailed video about the X95, thanks putting it together !
definitely a win from IWI!!!!! long live the Hebrew hammer!!!!!
Revolt2010 that sounds kind of ironic doesn't it?
They will stomp your butt like everyone that has tried.
Revolt2010 you try to nuke israel and they will nuke you back bud
Revolt2010 you gotta be kidding
Why would you say this Jared Davis?
There is no justification for apartheid states or commiting a slow motion genocide, especially not against a population with no military weapons and an age demographic of 40%+ 14 years or younger......
The religion inspired genocide of the Palestinians is no different than the pogroms waged against the Jews in the Diaspora but if it is completed it will be a greater atrocity than the Holocaust.
Put the hammer down and give peace and cooperation a chance to make the world better.
Thanks for the upload. I still won't be getting one of these though. Being a left-handed long gun shooter, I would need a left ejecting bolt to prevent brass and gas to the face. However, that would mean my right-handed friends and family shooting the Tavor or X95 would instead get brass and gas to their faces. They need to develop a bolt that can be swapped on the fly, or better yet a bottom ejecting gun.
The tavor has ambidextrous eject ring port, you can change it easily
+Blake Adamson But without wearing protective visors / glases the gun gasses are just too much for me in my opinion not being worth the $$$ spent on it!
departed402 i have a lefty modified tavor and LOVE it. Friends and familly? It's my rifle, they adapt. Like everything we lefty have to adapt for.
Now getting an X95 with my Tavor? Probably not. Too $$ for my budget to get both (and optics).
Having fired the X-95, it has addressed essentially every concern I had regarding the original Tavor.
It's OEM trigger, now, is very usable for most people, in most situations, right out of the box... and more importantly, the magazine release is located where it should be. I was always afraid that the trigger release, being located where it was on the Tavor, could be prone to possible inadvertent/accidental magazine release, even by large, gloved hands in cold environments. The improved design of the rail system (there if you need it, covered if you don't) is "icing on the cake".
For a SHTF/EOW design, nothing can or will beat an AR-15, simply because of ubiquity, parts availability and ability for said parts to be obtained, bought, sold, or traded, for a long, long time to come.
Taking a SHTF/EOW scenario out of consideration, if you like want a quality bullpup design, I don't see it getting much better than the IWI X-95 and I'm buying one, at least.
When the .300 Blackout conversion kits becomes available, feral hog hunters are going to be in... well... "hog heaven".
