What's the current weapons kit out of an israeli infantry section (or squad, not sure which term they use)? I know they're mostly using the Tavor as their rifle, and the Negev is the SAW (just one per squad I think), but what are they using as the squad anti-tank weapon? The B-300 or the Shipon?

Then the key question -- anyone make figures?

Not sure about AT weapons, maybe LAW, but some infantry units (35th Paratrooper brigade, and Kfir brigade) still use M4 and shorter M16. The rest mostly use MTAR-21 (Micro Tavor) and IIRC the unisex Karakal battalion use TAR-21.

About optics, Mepro and Trijcon ACOG.

Thanks, took a look at the Black Dog. Nice figs though they are in short sleeves and I was looking for something more like Lebanon 2006.



Think I may be SOL trying to find such figures though. Interesting that it's so difficult to get the squad composition -- may be ad hoc, because the Israeli army is notoriously nonchalant about stuff like that, although I recall reading something about the squad being in three teams of three: one a weapons team with the Negev and maybe two rifles with grenade launchers, and two assault teams.

Would it be difficult to make the figures long sleeve? I guess if I could do that, then I wouldn't need to buy figures... Always on the look out for good figures.

"SOL", lol.
