The IMI Galil Rifle: Israel's Powerful and Reliable AK-47 Derivative
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 2 minutes ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Weapons, Middle East* Israel does not employ the Galil rifle in combat today. However, this weapon made its mark and remains known. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Although the Galil may be out of service today, the rifle helped create what is today a small arms industry all out of proportion to tiny Israel’s size. The 1967 Six Day War provided many military lessons for the young state of Israel. One of many lessons was that the Israeli Army’s FN FAL battle rifles were too heavy and unwieldy. Israel needed a new assault rifle, and as a result, developed the ...
