IWI Tavor X95 in 5.45x39mm
A couple of days ago I reported
that RPC Fort was manufacturing Tavor rifles under license chambered in
5.45x39mm. Israel Weapon Industries, the designers of the Tavor, have since
announced that they too are manufacturing Tavor X95 rifles chambered in
5.45x39mm.
From the press release
…
The new conversion kit was developed for the very successful X95 – which can be used as an Assault Rifle, Carbine, or Submachine Gun (SMG) with an effective range of 150m for 9mm caliber configuration. It enables the X95 to be operated worldwide, due to its compatibility with both western and eastern ammunition, thus saving training time, spare parts, and overall costs. The new kit has already been armament and operationally tested in extreme conditions including dust, water, heat, and cold (- 60⁰C) – as well as for shooting accuracy – passing all tests with remarkable success.
