I was in the IDF in the mid 1980s. The Galil was among the weapons we learned. It's true that it was very simple to maintain; very easy to take down, cleans easily and reassembles very quickly. My main complaint was that it was kind of front heavy and I had to consciously keep the barrel from dropping down. The carbine version less so.
Y'all need to stop bullying Uncle Larry. Thank You for this informative video. Also thank you for keeping me safe as a U.S. Citizen, 7 years old during the gulf war, during your storied and brave service. I vouch for Larry. Let's explore how forgiveness and kindness work together as Christian values, under the context of clearing Larry's name Guys.
Thanks, LAV. I saw a lot of the Galil in Colombia when we trained their non-SOF guys. Of course, the Colombian SOF eventually got the M4 as their primary weapon - I never saw a Galil with them.
I had a Galil AR first and a Galil SAR second as a service rifle. I was very impressed about the weapon. Very reliable in dirt and mud. Only remember one major mishab when a blanck got stuck in the barrel and couldn't unload it after a week of survival camp. Would't say it was a heavy weapon. Now I use AK4 and it is much more uncomfortable in service/battle situation.
Had an IMI parts kit built by m13 recently. Freaking amazing rifle. It’s solid unit, but it’s hefty. With the weight, felt recoil is just so smooth and enjoyable to shoot. Accurate too with the new barrel I got from apex. It’s my go to rifle durring this corona virus scare Incase things get worse and people go to stage 2 panic mode.
Nice video! Correction - most IDF troops always preferred the Galil rifle over the long M16 (nick named 'the broomstick') for two main reasons: first like you've mentioned it was way more reliable and robust than the M16. Second: the folding stock made it a lot easier carry it around and to travel home on a leave (IDF soldiers always keep their service weapons at any time, and get to go home when not on duty - keep in mind that Israel is so tiny that traveling anywhere is a short trip). In 1992 the IDF started to phase out the Galil's from the Infantry units, and by 2004 completely replaced the beloved Galil with M16's and M4's, reason was mostly cost effective, Israel uses the US aid to purchase American arms - it's part of the deal I guess. thanks for the video!
Larry, I should have added, to my earlier post, started with rather, Thank You so VERY much for your service to our beloved country, can't say that enough. (It took me till September 11th, to finally "man up", and enlist, but by then, I was told "your too old", at 38) So God Bless you brother, thanks for protecting our loved ones. And, thanks so very much for these great videos, they've really been fantastic. I guess I'm just a little "too" Galil crazy. (Nah, ya' can't be!!) thanks for the Galil video too!!!
Thank you Larry and team for these awesome videos. The slow mo is my favorite part!!! Cannot wait for the new Vickers Guide. Y'all knocked it out of the park with the other 3!
I had one about 5-7 years ago as my 2nd rifle purchase but I ended up selling it due to a gas problem. When the shells were ejected the slide would catch them. I unfortunately needed money so I sold it but since then I regretted it. Though thankfully recently I was able to acquire all the necessary parts aside from night sights. I’m getting this new one built properly and I won’t be selling it. Love this rifle.
Would love a peek inside Larry's gun safe or room! Maybe a brief rundown of some of the favs or rare items he undoubtedly owns! Loving the vids and keep em coming!
Larry, you’re looking good brother. Looks like you’ve lost a substantial amount of weight. As always, great video. We all appreciate you bringing us these weapons.
This rifle always reminds me of the game Counterstrike Condition Zero and the upper version. It's the cheapest option in automatic terrorist rifle, and it's the best cost-effectiveness, so it's my favorite gun over AK when I'm a terrorist. In addition, it has 35 round magazine, making it more competitive with 30 rounds conventional automatic rifles.
Oh, I remember as a kid, my dad buddies from his shooting club bought this rifle in the 80's and it was the closest you can get to actually see something like an AK in those days. Weird, I also remember that the empty cases had a huge dent in the case body. Don't know why I remember that tiny fact😂
5E-CB-B9 btw Karl Marx was a practicing Christian convert you fuckin moron trotsky was killed off by Stalin and lenin died so your points are moot communism is quite clearly based on atheism you fuckin idiot so if you can find 2 or 3 Jews in the Bolsheviks revolution congrats you've proved nothing since none of these people are practicing and have all disavowed their religions
5E-CB-B9 you have alot of blind hate turn off whatever leftist propaganda your listening too and the ship bombing Israel has been apologizing for the past 40 years and has paid millions in restitution to the families, when your surrounded by enemies with land the size of new jersey nukes are a must and the world realizes that's why a blind eye was turned to Israeli nukes, and current events back up that sentiment, I think its hilarious how you spew this garbage yet try to claim the moral high ground especially with that Nazi propaganda picture. And you clearly are a degenerate by spouting off these propaganda lies that have been used by every anti Jew organization since the Nazis and now the Palestinian, whom I said you support because that's what most anti semites do. And the assumptions of my religion just continues to prove your biases, and in what way did us wars and the uprising of Iranian influence do to those wars help Israel? I didn't know a regional apocalypse was beneficial to israel, I suggest you take a long hard look at your belief system it might do you some good
the Galil used more in SA or south america Estonia also adopted the Galil as their 5.56 infantry arm. It is a dependable Weapon mostly was issued to some reservist, every pound counts for a soldier if you can get a weapon that 2-3 lbs lighter you can carry that much more ammo
Lmfaooo. I have watched so many airsoft gun reviews over the past month. I wasn't expecting any blowback or shells ejecting out of the gun when it came to the Galil firing montage😂😂😂😂😂
I'll be very impressed LAV once you hit your BC weight :). Congrats on the weight loss and thanks for sharing the Galil. Had the pleasure of shooting the GALIL AR and ARM FA and they sure are great to shoot.
I've served in the IDF in the earlly 80's,gone through M16 and Gallil.True,the M16 is much lighter,but thats the only edge on the Gallil wich is much more reliable in hursh conditions
Guatemala has a lot of galils in their military... it's nice to shoot but not to carry. Just like the FN-FAL or HK-G3 (Salvador has a bunch of those)...
I personally think that the United States Special Forces would be better off being armed with the Israeli Galili ARM especially in caliber 6.5 mm grendel. You know that an Israeli Galili ARM is a lot lighter than a fully loaded Thompson submachine gun or a Browning Automatic Rifle. Gee! I really wonder how were the Rangers who successfully climb the cliff at Pointe Du Huc Normandy able to do that without lightweight M-16 rifles.???
We used them in the Angola war! Serious conditions brilliant rifle. Never had any malfunction

Awesome, The Galil is considered by collectors to be one of the best assault rifles
נשאר לנו גליל בישראל? גם לי היה גליל הייתי בגדוד 13 בשנת 92
חבל לא לקחתי אחד לבית חחח לא ידעתי לא חשבתי שיחליפו אותו ב 2000
הבן דוד שלי ב 2012 אמר לי עשו לו מטווח עם גליל בביקעה
Looks like Larry has lost a lot of weight. Good on ya LAV.
Ya

0:39 so rare to see the Hebrew letters on Galil rifles. Just nice to see them ^^
The most criminal and evil nation.
Such a good looking rifle, I have to get an ARM in the future to couple with my AR.
Buy an ak 105 ore 74 i know you are american and you support your guns but i'm sure you will have fun
You have a Galil?
I got my own airsoft Galil SAR replica from CYMA.
@@Raul-ns5up I mean a real Galil in 5.56. But how is it I’m thinking of getting one
Get the real one, then make a video on it.
The sound in this video is outstanding. The sounds of this gun are music to my ears. Beautiful. Thanks for this video.
Thanks, LAV. I saw a lot of the Galil in Colombia when we trained their non-SOF guys. Of course, the Colombian SOF eventually got the M4 as their primary weapon - I never saw a Galil with them.
In my time in Columbia they used the galil. I preferred it in the jungle to the m4. Jungles are not forgiving
The regular army still uses the Galil. I can't foresee an early change since it's worked as expected
I had a Galil AR first and a Galil SAR second as a service rifle. I was very impressed about the weapon. Very reliable in dirt and mud. Only remember one major mishab when a blanck got stuck in the barrel and couldn't unload it after a week of survival camp. Would't say it was a heavy weapon.

you look slim.
Your right he does
CircaSriYak hahahahah lav 2" barrel
He has been exercising for the last 2 years. You can see when he started on the "Why im fat" video.
+Provocateur Eurotrash detected.
wonderfully slim and classic, man. too much exercise in war...
i thought so...
Youre lookin fit, Larry! I need to get on board with that haha. Sweet video dude.
Most underrated rifle in history.
Wonderful gun...
Neurolicious you evidently have no appreciation for history or firearms if you don’t have a single shred of amazement at this gun.
Neurolicious and you say that because?
Slow mo on this channel are just art! With those amazing sounds.. wow!
If I had to pick one channel on you tube it would be VT hands down. Always love to see these weapons in action. Light it up Larry!

I wish IWI would make traditional Galils again. I would definitely buy one. Had access to an IDF SAR when I was in the service. FUN!
My weapon in the South African army from 1985-1986, I still love looking at it online.

Favorite gun!
Great, great and great in every aspect! Thanks a lot!!!
This was my weapon when I was in the military.
@Dumisani Nkosi Israel probably

glad you included that detailed design description. I rarely ever hear people say Valmet had anything to do with the design of the galil
That Crossfit is doing work! You look good!
Would love a peek inside Larry's gun safe or room! Maybe a brief rundown of some of the favs or rare items he undoubtedly owns! Loving the vids and keep em coming!
Man you have slimmed up BIG TIME! Keep up the good work, God bless America!

Playing as a terrorist, Galil Arm is the best gun to buy

One of the best variations of AK.
Yet another one knocked out of the park. What an excellent weapon. Thanks for sharing!
Love, Love this weapon system! In HEAVY circulation in Colombia. And also a great jungle rifle.
You gotta love The Hebrew Hammer. Lol
Because weapon design inspiration is an intolerable travesty when the Jews do it, eh?

Remember remember the kalgeri Plan!!!
it is a very nice rifle to protect the people against evil one
It’s sucks these are no longer imported :(
they didn't even made em anymore :< and the tooling and machinery were gone too
Kalash Loy I do remember hearing that on MAC channel
@@kalashloy4179 why don't you ask for a South African vektor R4 assault rifle ????
ATI is building them :) I just wish they would make the 7.62 NATO version rifles.
@@iconofsin5886 I don't see why they won't, enough people ask for it it just might happen. Just look at the Snyder Cut 😎
I like those heavy looking war guns. Great slo-mo on the shaking barrel. Waow
Good vid Larry.
I'll add you are making great progress body-comp wise. You 're killing it. We like having you around.
My service rifle in the SADF back in the 80s, very good rifle.
The galil is a laser beam on FA. Lol was expecting it to move around a lot more. Love the video
Bet that costs a ARM and a leg.
Winston Churchill: You also thought that Italy was Europe's "soft" underbelly Winston.
Woah, never know weapon transmutation costs like a human transmutation
Oh Winston you cheeky man 😏
They’re not cheap. 3500+ for one
Very cool!
Love this gun !
from finnish RK: the receiver, the receiver cover, the gas tube, the gas block and front sight, the mag release.
Hell yeah man those polo shirts aren't screaming for their life anymore!! Keep it up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUT!
I always like the roller coaster - like sound in slowmo.
I really like the combination of more standard speed video with the always cool slow motion. Great video as always. Thanks.
Thanks
Larry, great video. Love the slow motion stuff. Very cool
Looking good Larry!! Cool gun too.
Haven't checked out your channel in a while, you really slimmed down!!! Awesome work!!! Love the gun too!!
Awesome. Very helpful and timely for me as I'm finishing up a SAR build from a parts kit.

Kicks like an AK
Amazing how operating system can differ the recoil .
Add the Galil ARM to my Christmas list. Great video Larry!!
Obsolete or not, that's one of my bucket list guns. It's just immortality cool.
I always wait Friday for your videos. Cheers from Italy.
You ever consider a Vickers guide audible audio book. Buy a lot of these to listen to on my commute
I love the synthwave soundtrack
Glad to see you’re in a great shape, keep delivering the goods pal
Looking good Larry, can’t wait to see your progress during the upcoming months
Very Cool, I want one in my collection. Thanks for showing me this Mr. Vickers
SK YES. Any day. All day. Every day. However this beautiful exhibit definitely takes first place
Lmfaooo. I have watched so many airsoft gun reviews over the past month. I wasn't expecting any blowback or shells ejecting out of the gun when it came to the Galil firing montage😂😂😂😂😂
Looking good Larry!
Looking great Larry, keep it up 😃
Great video Larry! Jaw line is almost there!
Looks like a bit of bolt bounce and out of battery ignition in the slow mo ! Thanks for bringing this to us though Larry....
Thank You , I New I could Come HERE For The REAL Deal!
Beautiful shots
Never disappointed with your videos
I'll be very impressed LAV once you hit your BC weight :). Congrats on the weight loss and thanks for sharing the Galil. Had the pleasure of shooting the GALIL AR and ARM FA and they sure are great to shoot.
Always loved the violent ejection and how the casing got banana'd on the charging handle.
You telling me about how they designed the Galil is very good info to have good on ya
Great video. Still loving my Com Bloc weapons.
Isn't this a AK 47 variant?
Lookkss really smooth shooting!
Messed up sound effects :/
Yea it seems like the audio is edited in
Larry, you looking good brother!! Keep hammering it!
I've served in the IDF in the earlly 80's,gone through M16 and Gallil.True,the M16 is much lighter,but thats the only edge on the Gallil wich is much more reliable in hursh conditions
Thanks for the awesome video. You are looking well Sir!
Looking good LAV
Very nice gun. Dang, host lost weight too. This TH-cam channel just gets better and better.
Looks like you are getting down to your fighting weight, good job. Enjoyed the video.
6 million examples made in four years I don’t know man seems like a stretch
I'v got one with 1:12 twist. Awsome gun. :)
that looks like so much fun to shoot.
Beautiful content as always
Some years ago I had to pick Galil or Israeli FAL... I took the FAL.. both are fun to shoot but a pain in the ass to carry.
Private sector, Israel sold tons of them around 1998...they went from PSC's to the individual and everything in between.
Guatemala has a lot of galils in their military... it's nice to shoot but not to carry. Just like the FN-FAL or HK-G3 (Salvador has a bunch of those)...
Too cool, love these vids
I can't wait to see the LEG from the same company
Your sound guy jacked up the boom sounds.
Larry you have lost a lot of weight man!Going back to Delta Force fitness 😉🔝Cheers from Greece!
Very nice weapon.
Good video mr Vickers saw someone dogging you over your use of slow motion video. I thought this video had the perfect mix keep it up
