6 Reasons Why the IWI Tavor is Better than the AR-15

The biggest setback for the Tavor is that IWI US is the sole importer of spare parts for this thing. Anyone who owns one knows the frustration of trying to get parts for it through their online store. No joke, I don't even think the firing pin and spring kit has been in stock for over 2-3 years and counting now. That's kind of a big deal if you plan to make this your main go-to rifle. I loved mine while I had it, but at the end of the day I didn't want to be stuck with $1,600 tactical paperweight on my hands the moment a critical component broke.

Compare that to an AR where you can basically get parts from everywhere dirt cheap and keep the thing running until the end of time. Love it or hate it, that's why most people will still gravitate towards the AR platform. I honestly wish the US market had more serious competition because quite frankly I'm not a big AR guy. These manufacturers need to realize parts availability and support is just as important as getting the actual rifles imported into the country. Ultimately that's what separates real workhorse guns from flashy range toys.

The Tavor is a great weapons platform. However, it is no where near as accurate as the AR-15. Any owner of both of these rifles can attest to that.

I got tavor 7. Big bang

Love it. Now please do the Tavor 7!

Saying "6 Reasons why the Tavor is Better than the AR-15" is like saying "6 Reasons the Playstation5 is better than an Atari 2600." – Half a century's worth of human innovation and technological advancement, that's why. It… not really comparing the same thing. They do the same thing (both shoot 5.56 is as to both are game consoles) – but… they aren't really comparable in any way.

Correction, The AUG NATO Does have a Last round bolt hold open feature. What it lacks is called a "Bolt Release".

Nutella? Weird and gross? You're nuts. Nutella is awesome. Also, the European version of Nutella is less sweet than the US version because it's a different market.

#1-6: it isn't.

6:35 – WTF was that pop? What broke loose?

Why is your face all black at thunder ranch? One thing I dont like about the x95 is that the ejection port is right by your face and the muzzle is much closer to your face. Pretty much need to run suppressor if you don't want a headache after shooting. The cqb benefits are null to me as a civ as even in wrol I would avoid cqb situations like the plague.

Speed kills 😂

This man doesnt like Nutella???? Whaaaat????

Reeves, what is the dislike counter up to?

James, please do a SP5 vs AP5 torture test review!! Gotta remind all these cocky poors that the AP5 aint the OG!

I own an X95 , it's the James Shorty Shorts of the rifle world…I like it ? Ish….its loud as hell , definitely could use a can , but you loose the length which is the reason for a bull

I would have switched to the Tavor the day the Geiselle triggers became available but I saw they can't hold a group worth crap so I passed.

Tavor SAR will always be superior to the X95 and IWI discontinued it 🤦🏻‍♂️. Factor that in with the spare parts and conversion kit availability dumpster fire, IWI is a joke now.

My Tavor 7 is my favorite tool in the shed with a close 2nd for my SIG 556R. The T7 is just an all around beast, love shooting at 500 with it, but just all around 308 fun. My brother had a X95 and loved it. Over 1k rounds with no issues. Ended up selling for a Scar 16.

Dirt/adverse conditions and malfunctions I’ll take a classic Jane anyday but the K&M m17 and Springfields BR 🤣some of the best bull pup designs

IDF: Our data suggests that the thing we made is way better than things other people made. No you can’t see our sources.

Let's see a Tavor vs Aug video

The day a company offers a trigger as crisp as an AR without the “plasticky” feeling even if its as heavy as a standard AR trigger, I will buy a P90, VHS and a Tavor, but the triggers are hot garbage. They are extremely handy but god damn, that trigger. It is on par with a toy gun. Sponge like and so “plasticky.”

I have a weird data point but my X95 was a piece of shit in terms of reliability. Choked on steel cased that my BCM ran and randomly would fair to fire with M193 brass. I was terribly disappointed with it and eventually ditched it for an AK.

Be of good cheer.
A carbon smudge on your face at a range is better than a streamer of toilet paper on the bottom of your shoe at a wedding reception.

america has "professional wrestlers" wearing big speedos lul

Gonna have to watch the xfiles again now.

No big deal, just thought I'd mention it looks like a malfunction at around the 4:40 minute mark, right before you said it ran flawless with no failures of any kind…

The add on's, the spare parts issue seems to the hamstring of the Tavor series…

For the end of the world where are you going to get replacement parts when it breaks? Here in North America it's a idiotic choice.

Good compact truck gun

The counter-rotating muzzle system is called a jam nut you silly gun jock.

Well, I call the MDRX the "Mormon Tavor" anyways… So maybe talk with Desert Tech about looking at their Micron system?

X95 is great, the center of balance makes it way better to shoot and carry than any ar I've ran.

Will you do a similar review on the Keltec RDB?

I have one of the original tavors and prefer it to the X95. Ergonomically it's the rifle I can shoot the best while standing at decent range. But the trade offs over an AR15 just don't justify it for me. I'll still keep the rifle, but I'd probably look to an AUG if I did a bullpup again.
The X95 doesn't shoot nearly as well as the original tavor and I feel the ergonomics were a severe step backwards.

Well, the TFB TV cat seems to approve of it…I think?

Nutella is gross. Damn European hippies… Lol

Wrong

I love my X95. I put on the new Manticore hand guard and a Geissele Lightning trigger. Trigger breaks at 4 pounds. Crisp. Oh and the Manticore folding charging handle. I have the Meprolight Pro V2 which to me has a much better reticle than the Eotech.
