Looks like a standard carry-handle mount scope.

I would like to know where to find some info on the effectiveness of the 5.56 rounds they are using on Palestenians.  I bet they slip some hollowpoints in their mags when the officers arent looking.  Heck, maybe the officers tell them to use ballistic tips ?

If the IDF uses it, you know it works good.
Anyone who basically lives under constant enemy threat will use the best and most reliable weapons they can get.

I remember an article in the last few months, the "Village Whine" or some such 'net rag, stating that the effects of the 5.56 of the Israelis were devastating to the Palestinians, and difficult to heal and treat when they wounded, because of the cavity(ies) caused by the fragmentation.

I havre to say, I think I read it from a slightly different standpoint than the bleeding heart that wrote it intended![:D]

I have no idea where it was, but I recall, more than one news org. briefly covered this phenomena during the intense rock throwing period the Israelis were under a while back.

What's with the white gloves, and blue T-shirts? Somebody should dress these guys better. Or maybe it for tactical reasons. They can toss their helmet, strip off their flak vest...Poof! Instant civilian.[:D]

While this picture of the CAR shows no steel dart launcher, it is common to see the launchers on many IDF CAR's it looks like a very long flash suppressor, but launches a cluster of steel darts, that insurted into the device, that is launched by a blank, that always go right through the human target, yes even the bone! This device is also used to launch gas, and other items!

Israeli's Invade CAV Arms.

By Shilock Goldstien

Today, elite commando's from the Israeli
Schnook Yadda Shalom division of the Israel Defense Force invaded American rifle maker Cavalry Arms
of Arizona. The battle was fierce, with GarryOwen and TopCrest engaging the invaders with CAV-15's, and
SinistralRifleman pulling rear guard with a Glock 21..

But in the end, the jews were too much, over-running the defenders, and claiming victory for Israel.
Seen below in a Associated
Press release photo is an unidentified Israeli posing with a CAV rifle he took as a souviner after the invasion.

DAMN! Read the topic title,
had an idea, but
I knew I was too late
when I saw McUZI
as the signature of the last poster.

The blue shirts might indicate police, not army.  Hard to tell when everyone carries an M16.

Andreusan, that device is for launching blanks only. No darts there :)

The [url]www.isayeret.com[/url] is truly an great site about the IDF and it´s various units.

Seems that the weapon in the picture is the Colt M653, shipped in large numbers to Israel.
