IWI
will also showcase its ACE family of 5.56mm and 7.62mm caliber Assault
Rifles, which are based on the exceptionally reliable mechanism of the
very successful GALIL assault rifle. Blending enhanced human engineering
and ergonomics with the demands of the modern battlefield - and providing
both automatic and semi-automatic fire modes - the ACE has been extensively
battle proven under the most extreme conditions, worldwide. The short, lightweight assault rifle comes in three lengths. Its 4 picatinny rails act as a platform to mount a wide array of optical devices and other accessories. Air cooled and gas operated, the rifles are easy to use by right or left-handed users, are simple to maintain without special tools, and include night sights and telescopic and/or foldable butts. A range of additional firearms will be displayed at IWI’s booth, including the TAVOR 5.56mm assault rifle family and the X95 rifles and carbines, the 7.62mm GALIL SNIPER, the UZI SMG family, and the 9mm JERICHO pistol family. As noted, all these weapons have been in service in India for a number of years. |

According
to Uri Amit, CEO of IWI, “The Indian army is one of the most advanced
forces in the world, in identifying the needs and gaps in the functionalities
of light weaponry in modern warfare. This is well reflected in their RFQ's
and specifications, published by the users. We are proud of our long-term cooperation between the Indian security forces and IWI, and will continue to work together in the future to supply them with the most technologically advanced light weapons.” Mr. Amit continued, “At the exhibition, we will spotlight the NEGEV LMG family, the ACE Assault Rifle family, and the TAVOR family of 5.56mm caliber assault rifles - that together deliver an optimal and complete answer to the light weapon requirements of today’s fighting forces. These three weapon families passed very stringent tests by our Indian customers, under the most difficult conditions, including extreme weather - and were selected over our competitors. During this exhibition, we hope to generate interest among the soldiers and security personnel who have not yet been introduced to our products.” |
