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 soldiers 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.

Hand-to-Hand

Fighting Skills

CHAPTER1

INTRODUCTIONHand-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 areessential military skills. Projectile

weapons may be lost or broken, or they may

fail to fire. When friendly andenemy forces become so intermingled that

firearms and grenades are not

practical, hand-to-hand combat skills become

vital assets.

PURPOSE OF COMBATIVES TRAINING

Todays battlefield scenarios may require

silent elimination of the enemy.

Unarmed combat and expedient-weaponstraining 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 unarmedconfrontation 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 ofstudy become intuitive to ahighly 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 stabilitywith 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 toincrease 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

enemys weak points.

b. Mental Balance. The successful fightermust also maintain a mental

balance. He must not allow fear or anger toovercome his ability to

concentrate or to react instinctively in hand-to-hand combat.

c. Position. Position refers to the location of

the fighter (defender) inrelation 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 wholebody. To position for a


15/18

15

counterattack, a fighter should move his wholebody off the opponents 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

enemys 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 hemoves 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 wheredistance is to his advantage.

The hand-to-hand fighter must adjust his

distance by changing position anddeveloping attacks or counterattacks. He does

this according to the range at

which he and his opponent are engaged. (For a

more detailed discussion ofthe concepts of distance and range, see

Chapter 6.)

f. Momentum. Momentum is the tendency ofa body in motion to

continue in the direction of motion unless

acted on by another force. Body

mass in motion develops momentum. Thegreater 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 opponentsmomentum to his

advantagethat is, he can place the opponent

in a vulnerable position by

using his momentum against him.

(a) The opponents balance can be taken away

by using his ownmomentum.(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 opponents momentum can be used to

add power to a fighters

own attack or counterattack by combining

body masses in motion.

(2) The fighter must be aware that the enemycan 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 unnaturalmovement. The fighter uses his body or parts

of his body to create a natural

mechanical advantage over parts of theenemys body. He should never

oppose the enemy in a direct test of strength;

however, by using leverage, he

can defeat a larger or stronger opponent.

Nite Watches

Technology

All Nite watches feature a rare

illumination technology called

GTLS (Gaseous Tritium Light

Source). This highly specialised

technology was, until recently

only ever used in advanced

military hardware or pioneering

safety equipment where a

guaranteed light source was

needed for safe operations in all haz

environments and conditions.

Exactly the same technology has now

adopted by Nite in a range of advanc

watches that offer the same standar

reliability and durability to non profe

personel.

Every Nite watch is fitted with a mini
