Israeli Tavor is more of a of a personal arm than an assault weapon. It is slightly better than a pistol. Look at distance between trigger and gunsight which is an estimate of range. EKR of Tavor cannot match that of AK 47 or FN currently in use by Nigerian forces. The gun just fine for eye. Good only for internal oppressions rather than tactical objectives.

*face-palm* good lawd.......*smh*

Bros.....the Tavor TAR 21 is an ASSAULT RIFLE (Tavor Assault Rifle 21st Century), and one of the VERY BEST in the world. It is easy to maintain, very light compared to the heavy FN-FAL, uses composite materials compared to the AK-47 wooden furniture, is FAR MORE ACCURATE than both the FN-FAL and AK-47. The rifle is equally compact enough to be used in CQB in urban warfare. So its no surprise that the Isrealis dumped their M4 assault rifle for this beast. After all, they're heavily involved in urban Ops from the West Bank to Gaza.

The FN-FAL is too long to be useful in CQB and damn too heavy. It is accurate when fired in semi-auto mode, but at full auto (like that used by the Argentines during the Falkland war) it is TOTALLY incontrollable and wildly inaccurate. And did I mention that it's too old it has been dumped by a host of countries from Belgium to the UK? That said, it can still be upgraded and used as Designated Marksman Rifle in combat. The Brazilians still use it though, but the barrel was shortened, the paratrooper foldstock adopted, lighter materials used, and the 7.62 round dumped for the smaller 5.56 round.

Be scared.... He is coming....

Is Season 2 out ?

Henry240:
My friend shut up! What do you think the service rifles of the British, Chinese and a high percentage of the Israeli Armies are?".

They all use bullpup rifles!


Ibnsultaan bro, here are more photos.

THANK YOU!!! Don't mind the muppet!

segxi1960:
Most of these pictures were taken during numerous training exercise.

Yes, Oga LeOstrich, the SI of the SF is the Tavor presently but they are to be replaced by the Beryl ASAP. You'd agree that is a more suitable weapon.

The picture of the sniper got me pulling my hair too. If there was a hostile behind the door, that's one definite casualty.

God Bless the Nigeria Military.

Correction 1: the Tavor is NOT being replaced by the Beryl rifle. The Tavor CTAR 21 and TAR 21s are issued to Navy SBS and Airforce QRF and Regiment, NOT the Army. The Beryl Rifle replaces the Type 56/OBJ 006s initially used by Army Special Forces.

Correction 2: The Tavor TAR 21 is an ideal assault rifle. It has a shorter barrel, is lighter than a carbine thanks to composite materials used, very accurate with/without its integrated scope and is equally effective at up to 500m/550m. The only advantage the Beryl rifles issued to Nigeria Army SF have over the Tavor is the caliber of round the former chambers (7.62 compared to Tavor's 5.56 NATO round). Other than that, the Tavor is a total plus for assault and CQB. It's no surprise the Isreali military, India's elite Army Airborne Corps, and a host of other nations adopted this rifle.

This is plain retardo.

How do you use a sniper rifle for CQB?

That we can agree on. The sniper ought to have served as overwatch while assaulters with the AK-47s clear out the buildings.

Another retardo

You don't use Bullpups assault rifles in field combat

The IWI Tavor SAR being carried by the Nigerian Naval team is best used in small confined spaces and not in open field.

The German Soldier is operating with the right field range weapon.

No wonder Boko is kicking their azzes

Congratulations bros. You've won the DUMBASS post of the week. So Isreali units like Golani, Egoz, and co that have replaced their GALIL and M4 assault rifles with Tavor TAR 21s are stupid abi? You do know that the Tavor is an assault rifle, right? I equally guess that the Australians and Austrians who use the Steyr Aug Bullpup assault rifle, or the Chinese with their Type-95s are equally fools for using those.

BTW, what the hell is a "field range rifle"? The G-36 in the hands of that SPANISH Marine (the Germans were not involved in the exercise held a year/2 ago) is an ASSAULT RIFLE. Unless you're referring to a Designated Marksman Rifle.

Exposing him is not enough. What happened to arresting the man ? Some people won't like to hear this, but Jonathan is the most corrupt leader we have ever had. If we should even go by his famous "stealing is not corruption" statement, then one will be left with no option but to give him the title of the most corrupt leader ever. I know ibb, obj and abacha where all thieves, but I don't think they will ever come close to Jonathan when it comes to stealing. Sometimes I get this awkward feeling that buhari is not very serious about fighting corruption. Am just kinda surprised that I haven't given up on my amiable general yet.

May God continue to help you sir.

Of course he's not serious about it when he has been compromised himself. If he's serious about fighting Corruption, start with APC itself and the likes of Tinubu, Amaechi, and co.

Obiagelli:
I saw this coming, the pdp floats false news about Buhari, comes back 24hrs later to counter their false propaganda to paint the Apc black

Suuuure, blame PDP. Cos Sahara Reporters and Premium Times are both PDP mouth pieces. Thanks to the APC there are so many lies in circulation.

Totally CLUELESS Govt.

Hausa again...okay oh.

OrlandoOwoh:
You're a big fool. You never knew anything about Strike Back until I brought it. Even when I did, you're still rigmaroling in your dyslexia that it's fictional. Now that you've consulted google and watched it howbeit not with care, you expose your inability to comprehend. The characters of Scott and Stonebridge were trained by ex-SAS men, whom only, to my understanding, can only give them the training. I never said they were trained in real-life by ex-SAS men. They're just actors that interpret roles given to them.

Let me prepare your weak mind for another issue you'll soon, as usual, foolishy delve into. Do you know that one of the US Seals members that arrested Osama Bin Laden has written a book about the operation? You call the movie that will soon adopt it, ficticious. The US and UK don't just do film like Nollywood.

Idiota, I am a fan of the TV series and have followed it from Season 1 to the new Season 5 (Episode 1). But I'm not as dumb as you that'll I'll use a TV series to argue out a real life point. And I was referring to same characters in the TV series. Or do you have a problem with simple comprehension?

And what concerns me if a navy seal decides to write a book? The whole point behind this argument is that you FALSELY CLAIMED that SECTION 20 exists and that Chris Ryan served under same fictitious unit.

Damalex4luv:
I read some comment praising GEJ for the little stability in power supply which is very clueless of those posters. The issue is that had GEJ had won that election I believe the electricity supply would still have remain the same or even worse. Though Buhari may not have a cabinet yet but the truth is that his mere presence at the helm of affairs has changed so many things with power inclusive. I stay at diamond estate in igando and the light there is very poor to the extent that for sometime in a week there won't be light but to my greatest surprise we now have close to 14hours of light a day. We all should give credit to whom it's due and we shouldn't be shallow minded. I believe our biafrans family too have had some testimonies to share to but yet they believe the credit should go to their clueless messiah who almost ruined the self acclaimed giant of Africa.

Abeg stop there!! What bloody "mere presence"? "Mere presence" of an old man that's still confused on how to lead the nation? After GEJ has done all the work, you want us to give the glory to that Daura President cos of his "mere presence".........Please don't make me laugh.

firstEVA:
is Gej the president? When he was president, all we ever heard was this or that power station has collapsed. I hope u don't have short term memory loss?

You know those brand new power stations churning out the power, or the new transmission lines evacuating same power to cities and industries, and those new distribution substations and distributed step down transformers? Yeah, those were ALL GEJ'S handwork.

Now tell me, what practical steps has GMB taken to improve power supply?

Sweetlemon:
TANoids how market?








Mess with the Jagaban of Africa at your own peril

Last I checked, Saraki was APC, not PDP. Also, he's still the Senate President while the bad-breath jagagban is at home whining.

So yeah, market is fine.

@ 0P, CASE REOPEN

Hehehehehe you must be really pained by Udom's success. Tell you what, why don't you jump off the new Abak bridge into the ravine below. I assure you that it will cure your bad belle and end your wretched life. Useless Arrow.

OrlandoOwoh:
You harmer on the "ficticious" Section 20 to hide that you goofed. Until you stop being silly, don't quote me.

I will continue to hammer on it because you were ST.U.P.ID enough to claim that Chris Ryan served in "section 20". Useless airhead.

OrlandoOwoh:
How I wish I could slap some senses into your skull. Go search google to cure your foolishness. Chris Ryan served in SAS. The actors in the film, John Porter, Michael Stonebridge and Damien Scott especially, were trained by ex-SAS men.

LMAO!! The bloody Arrow wants to slap me ! Dumba$$ joker. You don't even know JACK about the TV series itself!! Anyway a little correction bumwipe:

1)The FICTIONAL character Sgt Micheal Stonebridge was NOT trained by ex-SAS men, but is a serving member of the SAS itself and was seconded to "section 20".

2)The FICTIONAL character Sgt Damien Scott is an American and ex-Special Forces Operations Detachment Delta (SFOD/Delta Force). He was recruited into section 20 in the 2nd Season of the series.

Lawd....you don't even know JACK about the TV series itself. Hehehehehe Mumu

OrlandoOwoh:
He thinks he is smart, but he is not.

Guy, you're the one that is not smart here and making a fool of yourself cos you claimed that Chris Ryan served under "Section 20", a FICTIONAL TV SERIES unit. And you still defend that crap.

OrlandoOwoh:
Stop this back and forth stance of yours. Yesterday you said the military were not involved in intelligence gathering. When I countered you, you started posting rubbish. Go google Section 20. In the film, Strike Back, yes or no, was any group other than the military involved in intelligence?
How many times do I have to tell you that the film, Strike Back is adopted from the book with the same title, written by an ex-Special Air Service (SAS) man, Chris Ryan?

Where the hell did i mention that the military isn't involved in Intelligence gathering?! PLEASE PROVE IT! Didn't you see me list military intelligence outfit like Nigeria's DIA?

I know about strike, I know about Chris Ryan and his feat in Bravo Two Zero debacle during the 1st GW (longest escape & evade feat), and I know about the Regiment/SAS. What I'm telling is that "SECTION 20" DOES NOT EXIST!! It is FICTIONAL for Christ sake. Even people here have mentioned it. Jeez...

mildflame:
See this HOPELESS NONENTITY AKPABIO n d BIG GUNS in PDP de run like DEMENTED DEMONS to see hw dem go escape Jail, WORTHLESS Common Kitchen RAT like U de brag nonsense

Akpabio run where? From that confused Dullardiho from Daura? Only in your wet dream.

@ OP, CASE CLOSED.

The GEJ administration at least provided armoured vehicles and trucks, and NAF Transport wing was really really busy with C130s and G333s flying constant sorties.

So GMB, what the hell's happening?

Kai!!! APC and lies!!!

kuuljay:
they do desk work nobody puts them in the field mind you even the military has civilians working for them

Again, hogwash!!!! Candidates drawn from universities equally serve as field officers as well as analysts. Please get your "facts" right.

kuuljay:
who does? 99% of MI6 are military retired or still active

No they're NOT.

OrlandoOwoh:
You've answered yourself. A big sorry for you, you did before doing your research.

You did see that the section 20 is in quote, right? The problem here's that you're are drawing your points from a freaking TV series! Abeg next time feed that GARBAGE to someone else, not us. 'Section 20" indeed....

OrlandoOwoh:
Chris Ryan, the writer of Strike Back was a British soldier of the Special Air Service (SAS), who served under Section 20, a secretive branch of the British Defence Intelligence Service (DIS).

ABEG STOP!! ENOUGH OF THIS RUBBISH?! This is absolute GARBAGE!

1) Chris Ryan served in the SAS/The Regiment, BUT he NEVER served in "Section 20"

2)" Section 20" is FICTIONAL!!

3) Defence Intelligence (DI) we know. Defence Intelligence Service (DIS) we don't know.

So well done dude, cos you just won BULLCRAP post of the week.

OrlandoOwoh:
Go watch or read Strike Back, you'll realize that it's the military that gathers intelligence for the MI6. They have their monitoring rooms in or close to the enemy territory they carry out their operations.

Again *face-palm*......so you drew all you points........from a movie........*smh*

tolulope855:
You're not really ready to learn..... Tell me what other Agency majors on investigation and gathering of intels in Nigeria.

NIA : Foreign Intelligence
DIA: Military Intelligence
NPF intelligence Bureau: Criminal Intelligence

I must say that GMB's action's truly baffling and really funny. That's why I'll always place GEJ far ahead of him.

During the last period of the Late Yaradua's administration when Turai's cabal hijacked the presidency and tried to embarrass the then VP GEJ, elements of the DSS and the Army's Guards Brigade were used. When GEJ became president, did he replace the DSS Protection Detail with Police SPU OR replace the Guards Brigade with a Brigade from the nearby 1st Mechanized Division in Kaduna or even the Army Garrison at Army HQ? NO!! Rather he transferred all those responsible out life went on.

In my opinion GMB's move is a bad one. I have much respect for the Army, but BODYGUARD SERVICE/CLOSE PROTEXTION DETAIL isn't their strong suit all. It goes far beyond Intelligence gathering. The DSS on the other is constitutionally tasked to carry out this role and they have both the training and sophisticated weaponry + technology to back this up. Even if you draft in the Army, they'll still approach the DSS for the required training so what's the point?

vedaxcool:
So you mean CIA protects the US president? When will you learn to argue on what you know?

In a way he's right. Disbanding the DSS is like disbanding the Secret Service+FBI in the USA, or better still Israel's ISA/SHINBET as the DSS was created in its image .

horpe132:
Mr man ,,,theres nothing new about what buhari is doing every Military arm and Police has its own VIP protection Unit that are properly trained.......
.
.
About the western world.....Do you know that all SSS attached to these so called "western presidents" are all from thier military,,in America you must have served @least 2-tours with medals for you to be considered as a presidental detail.......
.
.i'm not saying buhari is right or wrong,,,,all i'm saying is dat what hes doing is not new!!!
.
Pls stop saying things you dont know...

Abeg ease up on that crap!! Who told you Secret Service personnel guarding the POTUS must first serve in the military?

The truth is that the Army doesn't really have a VIP protection unit, and the Police Special Protection Unit (SPU) was trained by the DSS/SSS because close protection detail is the DSS forte and 2nd PRIMARY ASSIGNMENT.
