ARES TAR 21 AEG (Flat Dark Earth)
The TAR-21 by ARES Airsoft is an excellent replication of the new assault rifle built by IWI. Known simply as the Tavor, the TAR-21 stands for "Tavor Assault Rifle - 21st Century" and is licensed by Israeli Weapons Industry. The bullpup design allows for an 18 inch barrel to improve accuracy without sacrificing the silhouette of the soldier. The entire body of the Tavor is an extremely dense and durable blend of fiberglass coated with nylon. The rail unit, flip-up front and rear sight, and the barrel are an aluminum alloy. Like all the other guns produced by ARES, the Tavor also has a piston reset button built in to save your piston and spring from eventual destruction. This model comes with a 130 round mid capacity magazine. The battery compartment is located within the stock of the rifle and is quite easy to access. Simply remove the pin located right in front of the butt plate and pull of the plate itself. Airsoft players are raving about this gun for its incredible realistic feel and unique look.

• Taken from an article of the real thing:
• The TAR-21 (or simply Tavor) is an Israeli bullpup assault rifle chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition with a selective fire system, selecting between semi-automatic mode, burst mode, and full automatic fire mode. The name "TAR-21" stands for "Tavor Assault Rifle - 21st Century". It is the standard issued weapon of the Givati Brigade (since August 2006) and Golani Brigade (since August 2008), with the Nahal Brigade receiving it by 2010. The MTAR-21 (Micro Tavor) was recently selected as the future assault rifle of the Israeli Defense Forces, and within the next few years it will become the standard Israeli infantry weapon. It is named after Mount Tabor.The TAR-21 uses a bullpup design, as seen with the French FAMAS, the British SA80, Austrian Steyr AUG, and the Chinese Norinco QBZ-95. Bullpup rifles are configured in a layout in which the bolt carrier group is placed behind the pistol grip; this shortens the overall length but does not sacrifice barrel length. The TAR-21 provides carbine length, but rifle muzzle velocity. The bullpup design is also used to minimize the silhouette of soldiers and to maximize effectiveness in turning corners in urban warfare.
• The TAR-21 has ejection ports on both sides of the rifle so it can easily be reconfigured for right or left-handed shooters. However, this process requires partial disassembly, so it can not be quickly reconfigured while the rifle is in use.
• The TAR-21 design was created by Zalmen Shebs, with the express purpose of creating a weapon more suited to urban combat than the M16/M4 carbine. It is based on advanced ergonomics and composite materials in order to produce a more comfortable and reliable rifle. The TAR-21 is waterproof and lightweight. The weapon has a built in laser and MARS red dot sight, one of the main advantages of having a built in system is that the weapon does not have to be zeroed after each use. The TAR-21 can also be mounted with an array of different scopes such as night vision systems and other electronic devices.
• The TAR-21 accepts standard STANAG magazines. It can also be mounted with the M203 grenade launcher. Its ambidextrous fire mode selector above the pistol grip has a semi-automatic mode, burst mode, and a fully automatic mode.
