Weapon Industries (IWI) – a leader in the production of combat-proven

for the military, special ops and law enforcement - at FIDAE International
Air & Space Fair (Santiago, Chile, March 27-April 1), Israel Pavilion,

the X95, the TAVOR and ACE 5.56 families, and the NEGEV family of Light
Machine Guns (LMGs) - including its newest model, the NEGEV NG7. |

 The X95 - which can be used as an Assault Rifle, Carbine or Sub-Machine Gun (SMG) - will be showcased at IWI's booth. |

| According
to IWI's CEO, Uri Amit, “IWI has been cooperating closely with many
countries in Latin America over the years, and is the main supplier of
light weapons to a number of armed forces and law enforcement agencies
in the region. This fruitful cooperation enables us to learn from experience
and to continue to develop the best-suited solutions for their specific
requirements. |

Also
to be displayed at IWI's booth is the TAVOR 5.56mm family of Assault Rifles
- versatile, innovative, and technologically advanced weapons that have
been extensively proven on the battlefield, performing with precision
and reliability, and meeting the needs of human ergonomics. The TAVOR
family was also developed in close cooperation with the Israel Defense
Forces (IDF), based on lessons learned from actual combat. Complying with the most stringent NATO standards for small arms - including environmental standards and harsh conditions - the TAVOR is in service in the IDF Infantry and Special Forces as well as in other countries throughout the world. It has a bull pup configuration, a barrel length and weapon size that cover all soldier's fighting ranges - from 500 meters to indoor operations, fighting from vehicles, urban areas, etc. Among its additional features, the TAVOR's body is made of strong, modern composite materials, and its metal parts are corrosion-resistant. It maintains zeroing at all times, even when converting from day optics to night optics. It also has an integrated reflex sight attached directly to the barrel, and can be comfortably used by either left or right-handed shooters. |

 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. |

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 harshest 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. |

 The New Israeli Light Machine Gun 7.62mm caliber NEGEV NG7 |

The
NEGEV NG7 - the newest in the company’s NEGEV LMG family - includes
a semi-automatic firing mode that enables accurate fire in combat situations,
including ambush, Close Quarter Battle (CQB), and when shooting via telescope
- and is the only 7.62 with single bullet firing capability. The NEGEV
NG7 shares almost 80% of its components with the smaller NEGEV 5.56mm
caliber - IWI’s exceptionally successful and reliable LMG - which
is deployed in dozens of countries around the world including Israel.
In automatic mode, its rate of fire is over 700 bullets per minute. Remarkably
lightweight (weighing less than 8 kg), it can be fired from a variety
of mounts, including special mounts on helicopters, land vehicles, and
naval vessels. A range of additional firearms will be displayed at IWI’s booth, including the 7.62x51mm GALIL Sniper SA, the 9mm UZI SMG (Sub-Machine Gun) family including the recently introduced – UZI PRO, and the JERICHO pistol family. |
