SG550 vs TAVOR 21

Dear Friends,

 I was trying to prove my point in Tavor..so here are the stats..
The original request was for a  AR which weighs  less than 3.5 kg without  Magazine..
SG 550
SIG SG 550
Caliber
5.56x45mm 
Length (stock open / folded)
998 / 772 mm
Barrel length
528 mm
Weight empty
4.05 kg w/o magazine
Magazine capacity
20 or 30 rounds
Rate of fire
700 rounds/min




TAR 21

Caliber
5.56x45mm 
Length
720 mm
Barrel length
460 mm

3.27 kg w/o magazine

 Moreover the Tavor 21 is a bull pup which ensures ease of operation during close quarters. So we have a bid winner here..

India also enjoys  a very good strategic relations with the trust worthy israel..
Israel also doesn't have any quality issues with its previous offers to India.
The training required to operate this AR is already being imparted to the Special forces which operate these ARs..around 4000 in nos.
