With all due respect to the M249 SAW, I think the Negev would make an AWESOME replacement in American Services. Perhaps the Rangers or the SEAL's should try it out, they could use a lighter LMG than the MK 46 and MK 48.
When I was in the Mexican Army tested the HK 21 I thought the platform would be more complex but I liked, how to change the barrel; but when I tested IWI Negev I say: Oh sweet lord!.. thanks!.. I tested, thanks to a friend of the federal police and wow!.. It´s lighter, less rough than the m60 and m249; and the recoil is gentler, when use any optic example: aimpoint or eotech, really you don´t close your eyes so abruptly, in my humble opinion I consider it an intelligent tool... long life to IWI and the brothers of Israel!
Carried a M249 a lot in '06 and '08 and ran into a contractor with a Negev who let me fondle it for awhile and I fell hard. The Corps adoption of the IAR should have been put towards trialing the newer Negev models and if these are not in SOC armories, what a travesty.
I always wanted to get behind on one these. From everything I've read and heard about it, the Negev is perhaps one of the best type of machine guns out there.
@@talknight2 You live next countries that you've basically kicked their asses since 1967, and your close ally America has been kicking their asses since the 90s. If Israel got brought into a surprise war the country would be prepared if even the cops can give suppressive fire.
@R. Guardia I watched it again. It slaps the brass agaisnt the brass deflector so hard when ejecting, it dents the hell out of the brass. Not good if you're into reloading. With that said, I'm sure anyone who uses this isn't concerned with reloading spent brass.
I always thought the Negev was an incredibly interesting design that has a lot of features other machine-guns don't, like the fire selector and the short feed tray.
I used one of those but with standard iron sights in the israeli TzaHaL (צ.ה.ל) or IDF. Its a hell of a compact tactical weapon , pretty powerful for being a light machine gun , it looks similar to the legendary Galil AR , and in my oponion it even sounds better , does anyone know where is it possible to buy it in the USA?
IWI are coming out with some awesome stuff. My Dad has one of the first lines of the Baby Eagle in 45 ACP and it has IMI on the grips and rolled stamped on the guns frame., 'It says Israel Military Industry'. Mr Vickers your videos are great and very informed on all the details of each firearm you are reviewing. Great job and i enjoy your channel very much. Thanks
Atlanta Light I agree. Belt feds are especially hard to find. Unfortunately, if they can't it with this, it would probably be 3000+ too, even if were semi auto. IWI is a notoriously expensive brand.
I AM ALIVE !!!!! I don't have a need for one. I'd take one if it were offered, but a standard AR is plenty. However, something like this would be cool to have. That's about it though.
Patjersey3000 well, to each his own, but you don’t think the inability to properly zero due to one mode of fire, the obviously inferior barrel locking mechanism, the gas regulator that requires partial disassembly, and usually a mallet to adjust, the non-fixed optics mount, or the extra 10+ pounds of unnecessary weight wouldn’t at least tempt you to ditch the 240 for something that clearly took the lessons learn from antiquated belt fed designs and fixed the problems? As for me, I’m about fed up with fighting with stuck hot barrels, spray and pray aiming, and lugging around that boat anchor.
You seem like a very tacticool guy. A man with a endless amount of experience. I could see you do quick videos on comparing us military branches and units, like 75th rangers vs rangers, etc.
I noticed one thing was not touched on in the video and it regards that mounting point just behind the bipod for the forward grip. To this day I wonder if that forward grip--which I've seen normally angled towards the left--can be mounted such that it can be angled towards the right for left eye dominant shooters.
We used the FN Mini 5.56 in Afghanistan but the British Army have got rid of these weapons at section level now and have gone a different way because of lessons learnt in Afghanistan they were finding that a lot of the time they were being engaged at longer ranges than the effective range of the weapon. So they started adding the Sharps Rifle L129A1, and kept the GPMG. The reason behind it was to keep accurate and long range fire so they started doing sharpshooter courses I believe (not the same as sniper courses.) so the L129A1 has become the replacement for the LSW role in the British Army infantry section.
well for one, the cops would probably get some bad back pains from carrying people like you and protecting them. If you think the cops are going to patrol the streets with this kind of gun, You're crazy - this is for special situations, border protection, use against militia groups etc.
IWI ceo:"make a new gun!"
Engineer:"what caliber ?"
IWI ceo:"yes"
Engineer:"ok... and how much recoil ?"
IWI ceo:"NO!"
Haha yes 😂

Totally agree
And when they run out of belted ammo they can use mags reliably
Negev? NEGEV?
*Rush B intensifies*
this negev can also use ar 15 magazines! *BULLSHIT!*
RASH B CYKA BLYAT!

14:00 it looks incredible with the 30 round mag.
Belt fed looks cool but 30 rd mag in the Negev IWi..... 🤌🏾

actual trash now even with the beam
This guy from IWI has his shit together.
This guy from IWI is really good and professional. Great show Vickers, keep it up.

The SF model is an absolute beaut! *two thumbs way up!*
Not sure cops should have this... But I definitely need one.
in israel yes, in the US no.
everywhere yes, 2nd amendment baby, it covers full auto, at least it would if it werent for unconstitutional bs
@@BrainEatPenguin Israeli cops don't need machineguns, nor rifles for that matter. We don't have shootouts out here.
@@talknight2 Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

You guys are having too much fun 👍👍🔯💙🔯💙🔯
Man, that thing murders the spent brass...
Hermann Goering lol
and you spelled insurgent terrorists wrong. none of us are perfect.
Too much extra weight to worry about spent brass.

Such a well designed weapon..Indian Army got 16000 of these..largest order for IWI
I always thought the Negev was an incredibly interesting design that has a lot of features other machine-guns don't, like the fire selector and the short feed tray.
That's absolutely awesome, I saw by the firing footage the Negev dings up the brass like my H&K 91 clone does.
I hear the csgo guys coming
CRISPY Boy is that lord tachanka?
Silver Dino yes
Lord Chanka best god. RP-46 ftw.
LightSeeker258 wait so does he use the dp 28 or RP 46
CRISPY Boy Well RP46 is a variant of DP28 so either is fine. If I'm not wrong ubi calls it a RP46.
one of the best lmg I ever got the pleasure of firing
wish I had one
ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT
Love the slo-mo and lots of action. Well done.
hands down best channel I'm surprised this channel not bigger this guy shows the most desired rifle
Add that to the list of your greatest videos. It would sure be great if IWI would make a closed bolt, semi only version for us!
I used one of those but with standard iron sights in the israeli TzaHaL (צ.ה.ל) or IDF. Its a hell of a compact tactical weapon , pretty powerful for being a light machine gun , it looks similar to the legendary Galil AR , and in my oponion it even sounds better , does anyone know where is it possible to buy it in the USA?
I fired an FN MAG in the Bolivian Army, man the recoil of the 7.62 Negev seems a lot easier to control
Love the longer videos Larry, the more LAV touching off full auto the better!

Alice Dexter What do you mean self aiming?
Good Lord what a beautiful firearm. Best weapon ever made to this day.
Thanks Larry and Tom for another great video
The sound designer on these videos needs a god dam medal
Such a beautiful piece of machinery
I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING LARRY'S CHANNEL!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Very innovative LMG which features belt-fed, pouch or magazine-fed bullets. I suppose it's one of a kind LMG in the world.
The m249 does the same thing, but much less reliably
Congratulation to IWI, is a Very good Brand.
The super-slow-mo ejection at 14:13 is so strong it dents the empty cartridge
Seems like a real smooth shooter on full fun mode
Thank you for this. It is a gun I have always liked.
Those are beautiful weapons!
I NEED a dozen. Please & Thank you.
RIP that brass.
Thought i was the only one watching that brass getting all kinds of fucked up.
It's a secondary weapon to take care of enemies flanking you!
what a cool looking piece of machinery
If they made a civilian semiautomatic version and began manufacturing 5.56x45mm already belted ammunition we preppers would make this a MUST BUY.
Atlanta Light especially if it came with a binary trigger!
Matt Gent there is no reasonably priced lmg/heavy support weapon for the civilian market. I think the semi M249 is $3,000. An RPK is hard to find.
Atlanta Light I agree. Belt feds are especially hard to find. Unfortunately, if they can't it with this, it would probably be 3000+ too, even if were semi auto. IWI is a notoriously expensive brand.
Atlanta Light
If youre rich its really nice to have an lmg that takes most stanag mags as well as belt
I AM ALIVE !!!!! I don't have a need for one. I'd take one if it were offered, but a standard AR is plenty. However, something like this would be cool to have. That's about it though.
Welp...this makes our M249s and M240s look like shit. Thanks for that!
Zachary De Jesus maybe our m249s but not our 240 Bravo's. They are superior trust me I wouldn't go to war with another crew-served weapon

@@AmericaFirstRifleman how can you even compare 5.56 to 7.62? If negev was made in larger calibre like let us say 7.62 you won't be saying the same 😅
the 249s ,yeah. because theyre shit on their own. the 240s are god tier machineguns though.
@That sorta irish guy it's 5.56 he is even shooting Ar mags from the weapon!! Get your facts straight
CS:GO players are going to be happy. Great video. Great work with IWI.
This is a miracle of engineering. Those things are dead on. The vibration is minimal. The barrel does not move at all
Your videos are FIRE
That thing is a work of art.
certainly learned a few things there

Not you? You are Mr. Gunsngear!

After watching this and the Forgotten Weapons vid I learned that the Negev dents its brass

great weapon nothing left out! great episode can always count on the Israelis ingenuity!
wow, i`m impressed, thats very innovative
Awesome Video!

i didn't know this gun would be this versatile
AWESOME!
Lookin good there Larry
I like the magazine setup
This thing is a beast.. EL EL ISRAEL!
love this chanel
13:30 That is pretty awesome, the casing is knocking into the ejected belt midair
Great feature to an LMG, semi/fully automatic.
a fine piece of equipment

😮 The slow motion footage (excellent as always Cameraman or Woman) Barrel harmonics weren't even a factor. Those PeacePipes are dialed to perfection.

Belt fed weapons for police... what could go wrong?
because Israel police has constant Threat of Kitchen Knife
Police in Mexico use machine guns.

@@admindadipancar5494 Police in Israel don't use machineguns or rifles. The Border Guards do, but they're basically a branch of the military.
I 'd like to see the accuracy of these weapons with VERY high quality ammo.
Oh dame those are pretty guns :3
Nice one IWI
Impressive squad weapons.
Very nice designs with minimal flex.
Should be very accurate and reliable for weapons of this type.

He let the other guy hold onto it for the video
Lol 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 by the ATF
