Tavor T.A.R. 21 – Weapon of the Future
Tavor, the new Israeli assault rifle is lightweight, compact and
ergonomically designed to become an “organic” part of the war fighter.
It has already been chosen to arm the Israeli (IDF) and Indian elite
troops, and is aggressively marketed worldwide, to become a weapon
of choice for future infantry combat suits.
The name “T.A.R. 21” stands for “Tavor Assault Rifle 21st Century”.
Tavor is based on extensive research and development and close
cooperation with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). It was selected by the
IDF in 2003, following an extensive competition against the M4. The
plant is gearing up to serial production delivering thousands of rifles
starting 2006. The Givati infantry brigade is the first unit to be
equipped with the new rifle, gradually fielding the new weapon,
beginning with all Summer 2006 new recruits. By March 2007, the
Golani infantry brigade and the Kfir infantry brigade are scheduled to
get the new weapons, completing the initial procurement batch of
15,000 assault rifles.
Unlike conventional assault rifles, Tavor was developed to produce
effective, fast and accurate fire in all conditions, including close combat.
Its ergonomic design enables the soldier to operate the weapon as part
of an integrated weapon system – such system does not rely only on
technology, the system must rely on the human senses and capabilities,
and respond best to the human needs. Tavor is well balanced and easily
operated with a single (right or left) hand. Specific models can be
configured for right or left handed users.
With its integral optical sight, it can be aimed and fire accurately with
both eyes opened, maintaining constant eye contact with the target,
improving the soldier’s peripheral vision and maintaining effective
situational awareness. The compact weapon fits comfortably, aimed
instinctively and fired instantly and effectively even by a heavily loaded
war fighter, in tight enclosures, where the use of longer weapons is
impractical. All Tavor models use flat-top design to accommodate
advanced sights and accessories. The current model selected by the IDF
is produced of black composites (the original was olive green), some
models, such as the sharpshooter version uses Mil-Std 1913 (Picatinny)
rail attachment mounting optical sights and other accessories. All
versions have a foldable iron sights for backup.

Top 3 – Assault Rifles
3. M16 assault rifle
The M16 (more formally Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16)
is the United States military designation for the AR-15
AR
rifle. Colt purchased the rights to the AR--15 from
ArmaLite and currently uses that designation only for
semi-automatic versions of the rifle.
The M16 entered United States Army service as the
M16A1 and was deployed for jungle warfare in South
Vietnam in 1963, becoming the standard U.S. rifle of
the Vietnam War by 1969; replacing the M14 rifle in
that role. The U.S. Army retained the M14 in CONUS,
Europe, and South Korea until 1970. Since the
Vietnam War, the M16 rifle family has been the
primary infantry rifle of the U.S. military. With its
variants,
ariants, it has been in use by 15 NATO countries, and
is the most produced firearm in its caliber.
2. AK-47
47 assault rifle
The AK-47
47 (or Avtomat Kalashnikova) is a
selective fire, gas operated 7.62mm assault rifle
developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail
Mikh
Kalashnikov in the 1940s. Six decades later, the
AK-47
47 and its variants and derivatives remain in
service throughout the world. It has been
manufactured in many countries and has seen
service with regular armed forces as well as
irregular, revolutionaryy and terrorist
organizations worldwide.
The designation AK-47
47 stands for Автомат
Калашникова 47 (Avtomat Kalashnikova 47) -
Kalashnikov automatic rifle, model of 1947.
Design work on the AK began in 1944. In 1946 a
version of the rifle, the AK-46
AK was presented for
official military trials, and a year later the fixed
stock version was introduced into service with
select units of the Red Army. The AK-47
AK was
officially accepted by the Soviet Armed Forces in
1949. An early development of the design was wa
the AKS-47 (S—Skladnoy
Skladnoy or "folding"), which
differed in being equipped with an under folding
metal shoulder stock.
The AK-47 47 was one of the first true assault rifles
and, due to its durability, low production cost and
ease of use, the weapon and its numerous
nume
variants remain the most widely used assault
rifles in the world — so much so that more AK- AK
type rifles have been produced than all other
assault rifles combined. It was also used by the
majority of the member states of the former
Warsaw Pact. The AK-47 7 was also used as a basis
for the development of many other types of
individual and crew-served
served firearms.
And Now Number 1...

The M4 carbine is a family of firearms tracing its
lineage back to earlier carbine versions of the M16, all
based on the original AR-15
15 made by ArmaLite. It is a
shorter and lighter version of the M16A2 assault rifle,
achieving 80% parts commonality with the he M16A2.
The M4 has selective fire options including semi-
semi
automatic and three-round
round burst (like the M16A2),
while the M4A1 has a "full auto" option in place of the
three-round burst. While the M4's manoeuvrability makes it a candidate
for non-infantry
infantry troops (vehicle crews, clerks and staff
Overview officers), it also makes it ideal for close quarter’s
battle (CQB). The M4 was developed and produced for

designs are obvious in both weapons, however most
of the similarities are not very noticeable.

As with many carbines, the M4 is handy and more

convenient to carry than a full-length

slightly inferior ballistic performance compared to the
full-size
size M16, with it’s nearly 6" (15 cm) longer barrel.
This becomes most apparent at ranges of 300 yards
and beyond. Statistically, however, most small-arms
small
engagements occur within 100 yards. This means that
the M4 is very much an adequate weapon for the
majority of troops. The marginal sacrifice in terminal
ballistics and range, in exchange for greatly improved
handling characteristics, is usually thought to be a
worthwhile compromise.

How to survival?
Lesson 1
PSYCHOLOGY OF SURVIVAL
It takes much more than the
knowledge and skills to build shelters, get food, make
fires, and travel without the aid of standard
navigational devices to live successfully through a
survival situation. Some people with little or no
survival training have managed
naged to survive life-
life
threatening circumstances. Some people with survival
training have not used their skills and died. A key
ingredient in any survival situation is the mental
attitude of the individual(s) involved. Having survival
skills is important; having
aving the will to survive is
essential. Without a desk to survive, acquired skills
serve little purpose and invaluable knowledge goes to
waste.
There is a psychology to survival. The soldier in a
survival environment faces many stresses that
ultimately impact
pact on his mind. These stresses can
produce thoughts and emotions that, if poorly
understood, can transform a confident, well-trained
well
soldier into an indecisive, ineffective individual with
questionable ability to survive. Thus, every soldier
must be awaree of and be able to recognize those
stresses commonly associated with survival.
Additionally, it is imperative that soldiers be aware of
their reactions to the wide variety of stresses
associated with survival. This chapter will identify and
explain the nature
ture of stress, the stresses of survival,
and those internal reactions soldiers will naturally
experience when faced with the stresses of a real-real
world survival situation. The knowledge you, the
soldier, gain from this chapter and other chapters in
this manual,
ual, will prepare you to come through the
toughest times alive.
SURVIVAL PLANNING AND SURVIVAL KITS
Survival planning is
nothing more
something
than realizing
could happen
that would put you in a
survival situation and,
with that in mind, taking
steps to increase your chances of survival. Thus,
survival planning means preparation.
Preparation means having ng survival items and knowing
how to use them People who live in snow regions
prepare their vehicles for poor road conditions. They
put snow tires on their vehicles, add extra weight in
the back for traction, and they carry a shovel, salt, and
a blanket. Another
nother example of preparation is finding
the emergency exits on an aircraft when you board it
for a flight. Preparation could also mean knowing your
intended route of travel and familiarizing yourself
with the area. Finally, emergency planning is essential.
essential
IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING
Detailed prior planning is essential in potential
survival situations. Including survival considerations in
mission planning will enhance your chances of survival
if an emergency occurs. For example, if your job re-
re
quires that you work in a small, enclosed area that
limits what you can carry on your person, plan where
you can put your rucksack or your load-bearing
load
equipment. Put it where it will not prevent you from
getting out of the area quickly, yet where it is readily
accessible.
One important aspect of prior planning is preventive
medicine. Ensuring that you have no dental problems
and that your immunizations are current will help you
avoid potential dental or health problems. A dental
problem in a survival situation will reduce
reduc your ability
to cope with other problems that you face. Failure to
keep your shots current may mean your body is not
immune to diseases that are prevalent in the area.
Preparing and carrying a survival kit is as important as
the considerations mentioned above. All Army aircraft
normally have survival kits on board for the type
area(s) over which they will fly. There are kits for over-

Hand-to-Hand
Fighting Skills
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Hand-to-hand combat is an engagement
between two or more persons in an
empty-handed struggle or with handheld
weapons such as knives, sticks, and
rifles with bayonets. These fighting arts are
essential military skills. Projectile
weapons may be lost or broken, or they may
fail to fire. When friendly and
enemy forces become so intermingled that
firearms and grenades are not
practical, hand-to-hand combat skills become
vital assets.
PURPOSE OF COMBATIVES TRAINING
Today’s battlefield scenarios may require
silent elimination of the enemy.
Unarmed combat and expedient-weapons
training should not be limited to
forward units. With rapid
mechanized/motorized, airborne, and air
assault
abilities, units throughout the battle area could
be faced with close-quarter
or unarmed fighting situations. With low-
intensity conflict scenarios and
guerrilla warfare conditions, any soldier is apt
to face an unarmed
confrontation with the enemy, and hand-to-
hand combative training can save
lives. The many practical battlefield benefits
of combative training are not
its only advantage. It can also—
a. Contribute to individual and unit strength,
flexibility, balance, and
cardiorespiratory fitness.
b. Build courage, confidence, self-discipline,
and esprit de corps.
1-2. BASIC PRINCIPLES
There are basic principles that the hand-to-
hand fighter must know and apply
to successfully defeat an opponent. The
principles mentioned are only a few
of the basic guidelines that are essential
knowledge for hand-to-hand combat.
There are many others, which through years of
study become intuitive to a
highly skilled fighter.
a. Physical Balance. Balance refers to the
ability to maintain equilibrium
and to remain in a stable, upright position. A
hand-to-hand fighter must
maintain his balance both to defend himself
and to launch an effective attack.
Without balance, the fighter has no stability
with which to defend himself, nor
does he have a base of power for an attack.
The fighter must understand two
aspects of balance in a struggle:
(1) How to move his body to keep or regain
his own balance. A fighter
develops balance through experience, but
usually he keeps his feet about
shoulder-width apart and his knees flexed. He
lowers his center of gravity to
increase stability.
(2) How to exploit weaknesses in his
opponent's balance. Experience also
gives the hand-to-hand fighter a sense of how
to move his body in a fight to
maintain his balance while exposing the
enemy’s weak points.
b. Mental Balance. The successful fighter
must also maintain a mental
balance. He must not allow fear or anger to
overcome his ability to
concentrate or to react instinctively in hand-
to-hand combat.
c. Position. Position refers to the location of
the fighter (defender) in
relation to his opponent. A vital principle
when being attacked is for the
defender to move his body to a safe position—
that is, where the attack cannot
continue unless the enemy moves his whole
body. To position for a
14
counterattack, a fighter should move his whole
body off the opponent’s line
of attack. Then, the opponent has to change
his position to continue the
attack. It is usually safe to move off the line of
attack at a 45-degree angle,
either toward the opponent or away from him,
whichever is appropriate. This
position affords the fighter safety and allows
him to exploit weaknesses in the
enemy’s counterattack position. Movement to
an advantageous position
requires accurate timing and distance
perception.
d. Timing. A fighter must be able to perceive
the best time to move to
an advantageous position in an attack. If he
moves too soon, the enemy will
anticipate his movement and adjust the attack.
If the fighter moves too late,
the enemy will strike him. Similarly, the
fighter must launch his attack or
counterattack at the critical instant when the
opponent is the most vulnerable.
e. Distance. Distance is the relative distance
between the positions of
opponents. A fighter positions himself where
distance is to his advantage.
The hand-to-hand fighter must adjust his
distance by changing position and
developing attacks or counterattacks. He does
this according to the range at
which he and his opponent are engaged. (For a
more detailed discussion of
the concepts of distance and range, see
Chapter 6.)
f. Momentum. Momentum is the tendency of
a body in motion to
continue in the direction of motion unless
acted on by another force. Body
mass in motion develops momentum. The
greater the body mass or speed of
movement, the greater the momentum.
Therefore, a fighter must
understand the effects of this principle and
apply it to his advantage.
FM 21-120
(1) The fighter can use his opponent’s
momentum to his
advantage—that is, he can place the opponent
in a vulnerable position by
using his momentum against him.
(a) The opponent’s balance can be taken away
by using his own
momentum.
(b) The opponent can be forced to extend
farther than he expected,
causing him to stop and change his direction
of motion to continue his attack.
(c) An opponent’s momentum can be used to
add power to a fighter’s
own attack or counterattack by combining
body masses in motion.
(2) The fighter must be aware that the enemy
can also take advantage of
the principle of momentum. Therefore, the
fighter must avoid placing
himself in an awkward or vulnerable position,
and he must not allow himself
to extend too far.
g. Leverage. A fighter uses leverage in hand-
to-hand combat by using the
natural movement of his body to place his
opponent in a position of unnatural
movement. The fighter uses his body or parts

however, by using leverage, he
can defeat a larger or stronger opponent.
