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....
