IWI Tavor
The IWI Tavor-21 is an Israeli bullpup assault rifle
IWI Tavor TAR-21
chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO caliber with a selective
fire system, selecting between semi-automatic mode and
full automatic fire mode.
The Tavor is designed and produced by Israel Weapon

Industries (IWI). It is produced in two main variants: the
TAR-21 and the CTAR-21.

gradual changeover beginning in 2006 and expected completion among front line troops by end of year
2018.[7][8]
Design details and engineering
Bullpup configuration
The Tavor uses a bullpup configuration, in which the receiver, bolt carrier group and magazine are
placed behind the pistol grip. This shortens the firearm's overall length without sacrificing barrel length.
As a result, the Tavor provides carbine overall length, yet can achieve rifle muzzle velocities if equipped
with a rifle-length barrel.
Long-stroke piston system
The Tavor uses a non-lubricated long-stroke piston system, as

found in the M1 Garand, IMI Galil, and the AK 47.[1] Like in the
AK-47, the long-stroke piston mechanism contributes to the
extreme forcefulness of the TAR-21's extraction and
chambering.[8]
The Tavor's long-stroke piston system.
The Tavor attachment of the piston to a heavy bolt carrier, and
the extension of the mainspring into the hollow stem of the bolt
carrier, bears a family resemblance to the internal mechanism of the AK-47.[1]
Ambidexterity and modularity
The Tavor has ejection ports on both sides of the rifle so it can easily be reconfigured for right or left-
handed shooters. However, this process requires partial disassembly, so it cannot be quickly
reconfigured while the rifle is in use.[9] An issue related to this is the original plastic cover on the unused
ejection can allow gas to escape during the course of fire. Due to the bullpup design this vents right
under the shooters face causing issues, such as inhaling ejection gases and the fouling of glasses and face
with ejection debris. The issue is exacerbated when the weapon is suppressed. The characteristic black
smudge from this has been nicknamed "Tavor face" by some shooters. This has been addressed by
various non-factory solutions which increase sealing of the unused port.
Its ambidextrous fire mode selector above the pistol grip has a semi-automatic mode and a fully
automatic mode.[10]
The Tavor features a self-contained, drop-in trigger group so that the trigger group can be changed or
replaced without the use of additional tools.
The Tavor can also be mounted with the M203 grenade launcher (GTAR-21).
Chambering, cartridges and ammunition feeding
The Tavor is primarily chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO,

although 9×19mm Parabellum and 5.45×39mm Russian
models are also available.
The IDF uses both 3.6-gram (55 gr) M193 and 4.0-gram
(62 gr) M855 5.56×45mm rounds. M193 rounds are used
by regular infantrymen for better terminal effects at
shorter distances, while the heavier M855 is used by
sharpshooters.[8]
The Tavor accepts standard STANAG magazines.

Last round bolt-open catch
The Tavor features a last round bolt catch, whereby the bolt holds open after the last round
discharges.[11] This is a request of modern armies, as it helps to allow soldiers to know when their
magazine empties and to reduce reloading times during combat while also not requiring manual action
cycling after.[12]
Barrel
Tavor barrels are made from CrMoV steel and cold-hammer-forged (CHF) on the premises of the IWI
factory in Ramat HaSharon. The TAR-21 barrel is 457mm in length and is chrome-lined for durability
and corrosion resistance. The barrel features 6 grooves in a 178 mm (1 in 7 inch) twist, or 32 calibers
right hand twist rate.
The barrel is fitted with a 'birdcage' style flash suppressor, which can be fully disassembled without the
need for additional tools.[8]
Reliability, ease-of-maintenance and waterproofing
The design objectives of the Tavor aimed for reliability and ease-of-maintenance, particularly under
adverse or battlefield conditions.[5] According to Russell C. Tilstra, the Tavor is "easily considered more
reliable" than the M16 and M4 series rifles.[13]
The Tavor is designed to be easily field-stripped, without the need for any additional tools.[14]
It is waterproofed and its internal mechanism is sealed from outside elements, so that it can pass over-
the-beach requirements.[15]
Variants
TAR-21
The Tavor TAR-21 is the standard variant with a 457mm(18in) long

barrel.
The Israeli firearm manufacturer, Israel Weapon Industries produces

the Tavor TAR-21 in different variations:[10]
GTAR-21
The GTAR-21 has a notched barrel, to accept an M203 40 mm under-

barrel grenade launcher.
CTAR-21
The CTAR-21 is a compact shorter 380mm(15in) barrel variant

intended for commandos and special forces, but has become more
favored than the standard TAR-21 throughout the IDF.

Tavor X95 (MTAR-21)
The Tavor X95 (also referred to as the MTAR-21) is the variant of the
Tavor that was selected as the future standard infantry weapon of
the IDF in 2009.[16] In 2013, the X95 was issued for the first time as
the standard infantry weapon to recruits of the Givati Brigade.[17]
With the use of a relatively simple conversion kit, the X95 can be
converted from a 5.56 mm assault rifle to a 9mm submachine gun.
A suppressor can also be added to the weapon, as part of the 9mm
conversion kit. A grenade launcher can also be attached to the The Tavor X95-L (foreground)
X95.[18] during IDF Warrant Officers' training.
Tavor 7
The IWI Tavor 7 is the latest iteration of the Tavor. It is chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO. It is a fully
ambidextrous rifle.

TC-21
The semi-automatic Tavor Carbine (TC-21) was first made available for civilian customers to purchase in
Canada from 2008.[19] The Canadian civilian version initially shipped with the Mepro reflex sight and a
slightly longer barrel to meet the Canadian requirement for non-restricted semi-automatic centerfire
rifles to have a barrel length of at least 470 mm. Current versions are shipped with a full-length
Picatinny rail, without optics. In Europe, the Czech company Zeleny Sport recently (December 2015)
imported Israeli-made TC-21s, equipped with Mepro M5 or M21 reflex sight, which are now available for
both civilian and law enforcement customers.
In 2013, IWI started a US subsidiary, IWI US, which is manufacturing the semi-automatic TC-21 as the
Tavor SAR for U.S. sales.[20] The weapon is manufactured with a combination of Israeli and US parts.
IWI US had shipped 50,000 Tavor SARs to US civilian customers by early 2016.[21]
IWI US sells the Tavor SAR (https://iwi.us/product-category/firearms/tavor-sar-firearms/) in variety of

variants; they include:
TSB16: Semi-automatic version of the CTAR-21, with a 26.125 in. (663.575 mm) overall length.
TSB16L: A TSB16 with left-handed controls pre-installed.
TSB16-BLK: A TSB16 chambered in .300 AAC Blackout.
TSB17-9: 9×19mm submachine gun with a 17 in (431.8 mm) barrel and a 26.125 in (663.575 mm)
overall length.
TSB18: 5.56×45mm rifle with an 18 in (457.2 mm) barrel and a 27.625 in (701.675 mm) overall
length.
TSB18RS: 5.56×45mm rifle with an 18 in (457.2 mm) barrel and a 30 in (762 mm) overall length;
integrated permanent 2 3/8 in muzzle break and a 10-round magazine to be compliant with laws of
certain states. ("RS" stands for Restricted State.)
TSIDF16: Semi-automatic version of the CTAR-21 without a full-length rail, an integrated MEPRO 21
sight, and a 26.125 in (663.575 mm) overall length; meant to be a semi-automatic replica of the
CTAR-21 issued to the IDF.
Note: IWI US sells their Tavor SARs in a variety of colors, including Black (B), Flat Dark Earth (FD), and
OD Green (G); the letter "B" subsequent to "TS" in the rifles' designations can be switched with any of
the colors' respective letters.
Aftermarket parts
A significant aftermarket of spare and replacement parts has developed around the Tavor, including the
development of match grade accurizing triggers for the bullpup rifle that are produced by manufacturers
such as Geissele Automatics and double stage trigger pack TAV-D from Shooting Sight.[22]
Shlomi Sabag, Deputy CEO of IWI, says that one of the indicators of the success of the rifle in the
shooting sports or civilian market is the fact that "an aftermarket of products associated with the Tavor
bullpup rifle, like triggers, has evolved very quickly".[22]
Awards
The Truth About Guns website awarded the Tavor with TTAG Reader's Choice Award for Best Rifle of
2013.[23]
The National Rifle Association's American Rifleman awarded the Tavor the 2014 Golden Bullseye Award
as its rifle of the year. The NRA's prestigious award, now in its twelfth year, aims to award the best
products available to civilian shooters.[24][25]
The Tavor X95 was awarded the NRA's rifle of the year award for 2017.[26]

was an attempt to create an Indian version of the Tavor under
license known as Zittara, which was not adopted and it was
made with a few prototypes from OFB.[4] The new Tavor X95s

Israel: As part of initial testing by Israel Defense Forces'
infantry units, the TAR-21 was distributed to members of the
training company of the Tzabar Battalion from the Givati Brigade
who were drafted in August 2001. They received their rifles in
November 2001 during basic training. Initial testing results were
favorable – the TAR-21 was found to be significantly more
accurate and reliable (as well as more comfortable) than the M4
carbine during extensive field testing.[45] As a trial, the first Tavors used by Para commandos of
Tavors were introduced in limited numbers into the army in the Indian Army.
2003.[1]
Issues with fine sand entering the Tavor's chamber, which

were identified over the two years of testing, were rectified by
numerous small adjustments. A number of other improvements
and changes to the design were also made between 2001–
2009. Tavor CTAR-21 bullpup assault rifles saw combat
service in Operation Cast Lead, used by Givati Brigade and
Golani Brigade, and the soldiers reported the Tavor bullpup
assault rifles functioned flawlessly.[46]
In November 2009, the IDF announced that the X95 would
become the standard infantry weapon of the IDF, with the Polish Special Forces trains with the
addition of an integrated grenade-launcher.[16] Tavor during Tiger Claw.
In December 2012, the IDF announced that they would begin
equipping and training their new reserve forces with the X95,
starting in 2013, with the switch-over by the end of 2018.[47]

The first Tavor X95 bullpup rifles were issued to new recruits of a main IDF infantry brigade in
2013, replacing the M16 assault rifles.[6]
In 2014 the IDF announced that in the future (from as early as the end of 2014) some infantry units
could start to be issued some numbers of an improved X95, which will have a longer 38 cm (15 in)
barrel (instead of the original 33 cm barrel) and a lighter trigger pull.[48]

Portugal: Small quantities of the TAR-21 are in use by field and intervention units of the Polícia
Judiciária, like hostage negotiation teams and investigators who usually work alongside other
dedicated law enforcement intervention units—the Special Operations Group (GOE) and the
National Republican Guard's Special Operations Company (COE); these weapons were initially
intended to equip a new unit under the command of the Polícia Judiciária resembling the GOE. The
TAR-21 also participated in the competition for the new service rifle for the three branches of the
Portuguese Armed Forces and the Police Special Operations Group (GOE)—a bid that also included
the local production of the TAR-21 in Portugal. However, the TAR-21 was excluded from the shortlist.
The competition has meanwhile been annulled, after the other contenders and both political and
defense critics accused the competition of favoring the Heckler & Koch G36.[58][59]

Ukrainian military and police units.[65][66] RPC Fort had displayed working samples of Tavors
chambered in 5.45×39mm cartridge with Milkor 40mm UBGL grenade launchers to showcase to
Ukrainian security forces officers as a means of convincing them to buy Ukrainian-made Tavors for
special forces units.[67] In December 2009, a resolution was adopted to purchase the Fort 221

numbers.[68] It was subsequently adopted in 2014 for Ukrainian military and police forces also in 5.45
caliber.[68]
United States: In August 2013, IWI US announced that the Pennsylvania Capitol Police had
adopted the Tavor SAR, a variant specifically designed for the U.S. market.[69] In July 2014, it was
announced that the Lakewood, New Jersey Police Department would begin to adopt the Tavor SAR,
after the weapon "met the demands and requirements of the Lakewood PD for reliability, ease-of-
maintenance, durability and accuracy".[70] The Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office in Texas, operate
Tavor SAR.[71]
Vietnam: From 2012, the TAR-21 entered service in special units of the Vietnamese Army,
