New Gun: IWI Carmel

https://www.guns.com/news/2019/04/09/iwi-unveils-new-carmel-rifle-system

Looks like IWI’s take on the Beretta. Interesting.

Did they de-bullpup a Tavor?

Looks just like the Beretta ARX 100. The answer, however, is no. Different OS.

+1 Regardless, I’ll buy one if they sell them here because I like my ARX-100 and I like IWI.

Ugly and holy height over bore, but I want one.

“It would be cool if…” summarizes my thoughts on a lot of these “third generation” designs. Oh well…

Well considering the tacticool-kids like 2"+ height mounts, height over bore don’t matta no mo bro! :smiley:

I like it. Probably won’t see a domestic, for sale version for several years.

Thats different.I like the comment did they de-bullpup a tavor.

I just noticed that IWI has added the Carmel to their US website, so it appears to be on the way. Fun times ahead.

Well, that is a surprise.

I love the Beretta ARX, and I might have been more interested in this if they hadn’t fumbled it up and Americanized it so badly… Still kinda interested though. Not that it matters, it likely won’t be available before queermo Jay’s and butt f*ck Bob’s Washington AW ban goes into effect.

It used to look like the Beretta ARX. Now, it looks like a CZ Bren

I wonder if Idaho will sell them.

Agree. I just want it to look like what IWI originally intended.

Good chance. I actually got my first ARX in Idaho. :wink:

More gun choices + more gun owners= :smiley:

TFB Video and comments. I have to say that it does look like a better AR180 type knock off then others

Strange that they made it black instead of a caramel brown to match the name. At least it will be made near Hershey.

My man, the difference between caramel and Carmel is substantial. lol
