The IWI Tavor X95 delivers compact firepower with a bullpup configuration that maintains rifle-length ballistics in a carbine-sized package. This 5.56x45mm NATO chambered rifle measures just 26 inches overall while housing a full 16.5-inch barrel. Law enforcement and civilian shooters gain significant maneuverability advantages in confined spaces without sacrificing velocity or accuracy.
What Makes This Different
The bullpup design places the action behind the trigger group, creating exceptional balance and reducing overall length by approximately 5-7 inches compared to conventional rifles. The X95 features a completely ambidextrous design with reversible charging handle, magazine release, and safety selector. Cold hammer-forged barrel construction delivers consistent accuracy while the monolithic receiver eliminates potential flex points that affect precision in traditional multi-piece systems.
Key Features
- Bullpup configuration provides 26-inch overall length with full 16.5-inch barrel performance
- Completely ambidextrous controls including charging handle and magazine release
- Cold hammer-forged CrMoV barrel with 1:7 twist rate for heavy bullet stabilization
- Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides corrosion resistance and reduced visibility
- Accepts standard AR-15 magazines and NATO 5.56mm ammunition
- Integrated Picatinny rail system for optics and accessories
- Reinforced polymer stock and grip construction reduces weight while maintaining durability
Field performance demonstrates reliable cycling with both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington loads. The gas system operates effectively with suppressors and various ammunition weights from 55 to 77 grains. Competition shooters appreciate the forward weight bias that reduces muzzle rise during rapid fire sequences. The compact profile excels in vehicle operations and close-quarters scenarios while maintaining effectiveness at extended ranges up to 500 yards.
