TAR-21

The TAR-21 is a bullpup assault rifle developed as a rifle that was more reliable, durable and easy to maintain than the M4A1 Carbine, to be adopted by the Israel Defense Forces. The rifle is built and designed around a long-stroke piston system (Used by the M1 Garand and AK-47) to maximize reliability, durability and easy maintenance under battlefield conditions. The bullpup layout shortened the rifle's overall length without sacrificing barrel length. An improved variant of the TAR-21 called the MTAR-21 is adopted by the Israeli Defense Forces as service rifle.
