| IWI's new flattop configurations enable the attachment of all types of day and night optics and additional accessories, as required. Developed in response to client requests, the weapons have all been sold and in use by customers around the world. IWI will also introduce the ACE N, which fits the NATO cartridge, developed in response to market demands. The X95 can be used as an Assault Rifle, Carbine, or Submachine Gun (SMG). Designed for Military, Law Enforcement and Special Forces, the X95 was developed in close cooperation with elite units and tailored to their specific requirements. Created to deal with modern terror threats, as well as urban and open area combat - all in one mission - the X95 is the standard Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Assault Rifle. Exceptionally reliable in even the harshest weather conditions, and combat-proven by many police and armed forces around the world, the X95 complies with the most stringent NATO standards for small arms, including environmental standards. Incorporating advanced technology that allows the conversion from 5.56mm caliber to 9mm caliber and vice versa within minutes, Special Ops can use the same weapon platform for a wide array of scenarios, thus saving training time and spare parts, and reducing overall costs. |
