The Galil is known to be an inaccurate weapon. That is not true. The Galil AR(M) is one of the most accurate 5.56mm weapons in existence. The SAR, however, has a too short barrel to be a standard infantry rifle. It's a carbine and has a performance quite equal to the American M4. The SAR has a maximum range of 300 meters, which is the same as the AK-47 and that is a very short range indeed, compared to other 5.56mm assault rifles. The Galil is very sand proof, doesn't jam and is very robust. The barrel of the Galil heats up very quickly. The wooden forearm of the Galil ARM allows the shooter to hold his weapon while firing. Therefore the wooden forearm is sometimes seen on the Galil SAR and AR. The Galil is the first weapon family of which all members have a foldable stock. In general, the Galil rifles are fine weapons, but somewhat heavy and expensive to manufacture |
