Is that a guy posing as a woman in a burka (or whatever they call that body sack)?
Probably a terrorist trying to slip by. Good catch for the IDF.
I just saw the Tavor on Future Weapons on the Military Channel. The show
It looks very impressive. The host of the show seemed to be very impressed with it, and shot it very well.
Any idea if these will be importable to the USA?

There was some talk of Barrett tooling up to make enough components for these here in the USA to qualify as an American rifle, and therefore legal, but I don't think they got very far with that.
What was with Baldy making headshots at 300m from a standing position?
They said they'd test it's accuracy as a sniper rifle out to it's maximum intended range... It's maximum intended range is only 300m?
They kept talking about the MARS sight but all of the rifles inside the warehouse were wearing Trijicon Reflex sights.
The one they showed outside even had a mini ACOG behind the MARS. How odd was that and what would the point of that be?
Yeah, I think they hiped it up a bit for the civilian types, hoping they wouldn't get caught on the 300m thing.
The mini ACOG appeared to be offset on the left to me. And I don't think that was a Trijicon Reflez, but it was somethign of the same design/idea.
That show does seem to go a bit overdramatic to hype things a bit. Maybe that optic was one of the Meprolight units? They look a lot like a Reflex.Quote:

ETA: But, it's lens was coated differently and looked red like an Aimpoint's.
Rumor has it alot of companies have spoken with them about it, but IMI (or what ever they call themselves now) wants an insanely outrageous price for the production rights.Quote:

Well DUH!!! :p They don't have separate pistol grips and therefore don't meet the definition of a semi auto assault rifle- especially in the case of the PS90. It only has a few well placed holes. Even though the ban is over, Assault Rifle is still a class of rifle....
A while back ATF came out and declared that thumbhole stocks like those on the Romanian and Bulgarian post ban imported AK's now constituted a pistol grip......which is why the thumbhole stocked post ban imports with standard magazine wells were stopped from importation.
There's something going on....the FS-2000 uses M16 magazines and if you use USGI mags, that's three US parts right there, so they probably only need a US op rod, piston, trigger pack, etc. to be legal.
I guess I missed the show... I was most likely doing FoF cards with the dog.
But... they have a magnifier that sits behind the reflex sight, might that be what you saw? I think it is 3X or 4X and does look kinda like an ACOG.
ah. I thought the thumbholes on the HKs like the SL8 and USC helped too...

oh but what about a decent trigger? I've heard that with a bullpup it's difficult to get a decent trigger. Interesting rifle but kinda ugly in a way. My legacy addiction doesn't like it.:p
I also seem to remember from the show that the Tavor's red dot would turn on only once the safety lever was switched from SAFE to FIRE. I'm not sure I like that type of added complexity.
I think someone in these United States could create a bullpup rifle that would be a lot more affordable than the Tavor. Personally, I'd try the $2k FS2000 before I would a $3k Tavor. JM2CW.
Is it bad that Id rather have the other guys Commando? :D
Not bad.......I thought the exact same thingQuote:
