Tavor TAR-21 Seen in Gaza

Nothing like a little gun p0rn to round out the night.  Looks like the Israelis are deploying the Tavor TAR-21 assault rifle to some troops in Gaza.  They can be seen in these videos:

Also in the news, apparently Israel is using the Ruger 10/22 at long ranges to suppress rioters in the West Bank.  Anyone throwing rocks is a deadly threat to anyone within range of the rocks.  I don’t see why people have a problem with this.  Also, if anyone’s curious, the items being worn on the helmets of Israeli soldiers is the Mitznefet, and is part of their camouflage.

  1. I’ve long heard of the 10/22 rumors, but I didn’t know they were true. Apparently, Israel would use suppressed 10/22s and a shot to the groin of rioters.

    According to the article the IDF uses the 10/22 for shots below the waist and adds that most injuries are to the legs. Interesting. Nice to know Israel shares my enthusiasm for the 10/22.

  2. I have seen photos an IDF soldier shooting a scoped and suppressed 10/22 in some sort of combat zone. The captions also said the purpose for the weapon system was to harass rock-throwing rioters from a distance.
