uncle sugars pockets are deep. The Izzy's have been using M16A1, M16A2 and Car-15's for a long time. Now they are getting newer M4 rifles what is neat though they tend to keep the older rifles and adapt them adding newer accessories as they obtain them. So its possible to see an old A1 with a RAS and forward grip, optical sights ect.

The Israelis haven't been making the Galil for quite a while now and have surplussed many of them or sold them abroad. I had heard some tank units where still issued them but that was a while ago. As for the Tavor I havent seen many pictures of them in the hands of soldiers.

Its hard to say exactly with iseal as far as standardizatiIon of weapons goes. As recently as the 2006 invaion of lebanon I saw a pic of an M1a1 carbine and RPD being fired side by side.
