Here's a question. It's a bit OT for T2K but I figured one of you guys would know the answer.

Why do the Israelis predominantly use the CAR-15/M4? They can and have manufactured their own assault rifles yet most Israeli infantry nowadays carry the M-4. Are they manufactured locally. Did the U.S. cut them a huge deal? I can't imagine importing American weapons would be more cost effective than making their own.

The Tavor is by all accounts pretty sweet yet it seems like it's not being issued in any number.

What gives?
