a question about the IMI TAR-21

[israeli dude]

do's anyone here have any idea when the IDF will start using him???

[S'13]

AFIK the Tavor won't enter service in the IDF on a wide-scale because of lack of funding.
However the Tavor is already used in some parts of the IDF right now...

Up till now the only unit that officially adopted the TAVOR is the Israeli Prison Service METSADA Unit

METSADA is not military, and therefore it doesn't really answer Israeli dude's questions.

Anyway - unless you are accepted to one of the units you mentioned - its unlikely you will ever use Tavor during your "Sadir".
