Israel Weapons Industries (IWI) presents a full range of assault rifles, carbines, and pistols for defense forces.

X95 (Micro Tavor)

The X95 (Micro Tavor) can be used as an assault rifle, carbine, or sub-machine gun (SMG). It is designed for law enforcement and special forces, and developed in cooperation with elite units. Created to deal with modern terror threats, as well as urban and open area combat, the X95 is the standard Israel Defense Forces (IDF) assault rifle, and is available with 3 different calibers. Exceptionally reliable and combat-proven, the X95 complies with NATO standards for small arms, including environmental standards. Incorporating advanced technology that allows the conversion from 5.56mmx45mm caliber to 9mmx19mm caliber to 5.45mmx39mm caliber and vice versa, special ops can use the same weapon platform for a wide array of scenarios, thus saving training time and spare parts, and reducing overall costs.

TAVOR Family

The TAVOR 5.56mm assault rifles are versatile weapons used extensively in the battlefield. The TAVOR family was also developed in close cooperation with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), based on lessons learned in combat. Complying with NATO standards for small arms – including environmental standards and harsh conditions – the TAVOR is in service in the IDF Infantry and Special Forces as well as in other countries. It has a bull pup configuration, a barrel length and weapon size that cover all soldier’s fighting ranges – from 500 meters to indoor operations, fighting from vehicles, urban areas, etc.

Among its additional features, the TAVOR’s body is made of strong, modern composite materials, and its metal parts are corrosion-resistant. It maintains zeroing at all times, even when converting from day optics to night optics. It also has an integrated reflex sight attached directly to the barrel, and can be comfortably used by either left or right-handed shooters.

ACE Family

The ACE family of 5.56mm and 7.62mm caliber assault rifles includes the ACE N 5.56x45mm and the ACE 7.62x39mm, which are based on the mechanism of the Galil assault rifle. Providing both automatic and semi-automatic fire modes, the ACE has been extensively battle proven. The short, lightweight assault rifle comes in three lengths. Its 4 picatinny rails act as a platform to mount a wide array of optical devices and other accessories. Air cooled and gas operated, the rifles are easy to use by right or left-handed users, are simple to maintain without special tools, and include night sights and telescopic and/or foldable butts.
