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.

That's the weird thing. In Lebanon, in '82, front line units were equipped with the various models of the Galil while many reserve units carried M-16A1s. It seems like a step backwards.
So, what you're saying BIA is that the Israelis are getting a deep discount on U.S. weapons?
