The Galil assault rifle was developed in the late 1960s. It is named after one of its designers – Yisrael Galil. This weapon is based on the Finnish M62 assault rifle, which in turn is a clone of the Soviet AK-47. However the Galil is chambered for a different cartridge and has a number of other differences. Some sources report that tooling and machinery for production of this weapon were imported from Finland. The Galil was adopted by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in 1972 and was a standard-issue infantry weapon until the early 1990s. This assault rifle is still used in Israel, even though it was largerly replaced by newer designs, such as the TAR-21 and X95. The Galil has been exported to a number of countries. This assault rifle is still used in more than 30 countries. The Galil was, or still is, license-produced in Columbia, Italy, Myanmar, and South Africa.
FIREARM HISTORY AND FEATURES:
The Galil is a family of Israeli made, gas-operated automatic rifles designed and produced by Israel Military Industries (IMI) in the late 1960s.
The design is closely based on the Valmet Rk 62, which was an improved version of the Soviet AK-47, but chambered for either the 5.56×45mm NATO or 7.62×51mm NATO cartridges.
The Galil series of weapons is in use with military and police forces in over 25 countries.
The Galil ARM or Automatic Rifle Machine-gun was the standard service rifle issued to Israeli front line infantry troops from 1972 until 2000.
It came with a chromium-lined 21″ barrel and was equipped with a bi-pod, wire-cutter and carrying handle.
This is the rifle that the South African Vektor R4 was heavily based on, with only a few small modifications and changes made to the design.
These rifles have a reputation of being extremely tough and durable while still providing good shooting performance in very harsh conditions.
