Geometry dictates magazine shape.THE DARK KNIGHT said:1. That looks like a regular AK magazine in there?
THE DARK KNIGHT said:Yeah I know, but the floorplate and pattern of ridges look very, very similar. Pretty much verbatim. Is what I meant. Not the general shape.
What does "Illustration only" mean to you?
Means "photoshopped" to me.
Lighter and quicker than the original. I love it and want one. I'd take one of these over an AR any day.That's AWFUL!!! What's the point?

Not being Israeli myself, I couldn't answer with any authority. However, I do know that SOCOM was looking for something quite similar, and can only postulate that the Israeli's have a similar reason.3) Israeli SOF units using this thing -- why? They carry M4s and (I suppose) some Tavors these days. When they use AKs it's for visual deception purposes, not commonality of ammo, and that thing most definitely doesn't look like Johnny Jihad's third hand AK (or M16).
Only if you consider the Sig 550 to be a Swiss AK. The Galil could be called a second cousin of the AK, as it was based on the South African R4, not the AK.Galil = Israeli AK.
The weapon is shown on the Israeli Weapon Industries site, Israeli-weapon.com. The description seemed more indepth than that of some descriptions on, say, Knights Armament's site. Enough to give you the basic idea, contact for more info. I don't have my slide rule, calipers and compass right here, but the angle of the magazine looks identical to that of the AK-47. Perhaps the angle of the rifle in the picture makes it look too steep?That whole thing looks kinda fishy to me... A little too generic in the descriptions and stuff... And the magazine angle is way too steep. Either you wouldn't be able to rock it in or its feeding bullets up at a 45 degree angle...
Actually, it's based on the Valmet, with early specimens being built on Finnish receivers.Shadow Man said:The Galil could be called a second cousin of the AK, as it was based on the South African R4, not the AK.
