Galil's first real combat proving was in the jungles of Nicaragua, as the Nicaraguan National Guard adopted it as its standard issue weapon in 1974. It proved more reliable than the Sandinista's ex-Cuban FALs...exactly how the Israelis had hoped. From there, the Guatemalans, Colombians, Peruvians and South Africans adopted it.

@Sean Reed its just as reliable but more accurate. The ak is not the alpha and omega of rifles... Sloppy build, less accuracy and sharp edges/points do not attract professional armies that clean their weapons every day.

@alejobola

@Sean Reed Same as Gil Oro, same reliability with more accuracy, a bit lighter, and more stable due to the tubular and straight buttstock. I will also add that the 223 ammo has less stopping power than the 7,62x39 of the AK but it has a longer range.

Absolutely beast of a weapon, been in service of our police, army and coast guard (Trinidad and Tobago) for decades. Super reliable, easy to maintain and shoot. One of the best AK variants...

I only briefly used the SCAR-L as i left shortly after but i mean.. You can´t really compare the two. The Scar is much more modular and can fit many acessories that you can´t with the Galil. We had some "cool" RIS rails for the galils at one point but holding the zero was questionable after a few hits. I really like the Galil but its just old in comparison. @@codyi7102

@[ Karhu ] i think it is more proper to call it "the israeli ak" since both galil and finnish rk are variants of ak.

Probably my favorite thing is seeing Larry fire a sustained burst with amazing shot placement. This man is a god of recoil control.

You had me at Galil They got some SWEET pieces man

I had one of these (Glilon) when I was in the Israeli artillery corp back in '93, loved it. Never shot it on automatic, as that was a punishable offense. Guys would bang the stock closed by banging it on their upper arm. I had a trick where I would put a hidden roll of toilet paper under my hat and bang the stock closed on my head. My commanders thought I was crazy to do that, got me some respect.

I own one of these. The semi-auto civilian version named the LM-5. Just love it. I have been shooting service rifle competitions with it for years before getting the Galik ARM. Just great fun to shoot and as a soldier in the field you have the AK reliability in an Israeli-improved design.

Bigdaddyunlimited is selling a limited batch right now for $1900 in 556. Come with Israeli defense force markings. Says only 40 were made

In the IDF it was called "Glilon" (meaning short Galil) - it was issued especially to tank and artillery crewman. back in the day, troops used to install on the top of the charging handle a rubber insolation sleeve off of an old military wiring harness - for better grip, it worked great.

The South African made version, the R4 is what I used in 92 when I was in the army. Still love this weapon.

My service rifle!! It's been more than a decade since the last time I held and fired one! Great video!

I could listen to that full auto sound all day. Nice video! thank you.

My favorite! Thanks LAV

Love this rifle...when we got to visit RSA I got to shoot a semi Vektor R5 rifle...lots of fun and no jams!!

Thank you Larry for covering these weapons. And THANK YOU to your sound man who FINALLY started to match the sound to the actually firing cadence...just sayin'

Love your Vids Mr Vickers! Big THANK YOU for your work. 👍👍👍👍

Hardly any muzzle rise, especially on full auto! That's impressive!!👍

Had the first edition of the Galil in the first Lebanon war, back then in 85. Very reliable.

Always love it I'll never be bored of it

Great clip Larry 👍

One of the greats. In my top 10 favorites I've shot.

I built a Galil on a Nicaraguan parts kit. Galil SAR. Excellent rifle.

I love this gun! and that's why I use it every time possible

The only gun channel with best cameraworks 👌🏼

in israel it’s commonly referred to as “glilon” “on” in hebrew is a diminishing suffix, like for kids. my service weapon for a while. greatly loved, will survive apocalypse. miss mine plenty. thanks for the video- it brought back some great memories.

This has been my dream rifle since reading the Guardians novel by Jack Austin in the mid 80s.

Great gun! Excellent, Larry!!

*LOVE* that rifle!

iconic in the colombian armored forces , especially in the Colombian army since 90´s in the colombian conflict

In 1980's the Guatemalan army asked IMI to make the SAR semiautomatic. So Isreal gave Guatemala License to build it. So in Guatemala is call de Galil KEL.

That SAR is awesome. The Micro Galil is a nice little gun too.

Served our mandatory service for 11moths. With this gun. Alot of them had the fieringpin snapp but its understandable. The amount of blanks and live ammo put trought thees things is insane. Mine went till the end😁

Sadly to this day, these rifles have long surpassed their effective lifetime, possibly several times. About time to replace them, really.

This is a nice rifle. Looks really easy to use and operate.

Was issued the Galil SAR for my service @ the IDF . Loved it ! Almost a sidearm in the way it was there but not cumbersome or in the way of vehicle mounted operations. Used a Ak forward grip for "cool factor" or a wooden Galil grip with a 10 round short mag for quick access.

I've alway that the Galil was an interesting weapon. In this configuration it looks just as effective as our M4 in a close corner combat situation.

Looks exactly like the SAR that I have! 1:12 twist means it loves XM193. I have a MAR as well, but that one rocks a 1:7 twist.

This is exactly what I had in the IDF. I loved it. I wished IMI still made them.

This is my fav rifle hands down

Just a gorgeous rifle

I love the Galil in COUNTER STRIKE. It was my go to weapon in the game.

Very manageable muzzle climb or Larry just excellent at taming the beast.

Sounds amazing

This may sound ridiculous but... the power at which that rifle expels casings... I appreciate that.

Portuguese Paras still use them today, although they are being phased out in favor of the recently adopted SCAR-L by all branches of the Army (except SF).

South african r4 is my favourite rifle. My dad used it when he was in the army. They are still used by the SADF and r5 variant is used by the police

I just got my hands on the American Tactical Inc Galeo 13” pistol; basically a stock-less SAR, like this one. Is a beautiful weapon.

I just watched District 9 about a month ago and there is an R5 that you see a little bit but the one that is shown prominently in many scenes was actually an R6. The R6 is identical to the R5 except it has an 11" barrel. This size of Galil was unique to South Africa.

Carried by this contributor in support and combat operations in '97/'98 (עזה ודרום לבנון). Never failed to go "bang" when the trigger was pulled, unlike the older M-16s and variants found in accompanying units. To be fair, some of those M-16's were pretty old and beat to hell but carrying the "Glilon" in-theatre was very reassuring. !כל הכבוד לצה"ל

When the Galil entered (limited) IDF service back in 1974, Vietnam was already over. Very few of these rifles had been issued, mostly to well-connected, high ranking officers, before and during the Yom Kippur War in Oct. 1973. It was in service with elite infantry brigades for the 1978 "Operation Litani" against the PLO in South Lebanon. It worked!

That firefight in district 13 was badass

Felicitaciones que buena arma!!

R5 my EDC for 5 years 20k ish rounds over 4 years as an SADF competition 3 gun shooter ... not one stoppage ...heavy but rock solid... mass assisted muzzle control with full auto for air crew PDW options.

Became a fan of Galils after watching Benicio del Toro use one in The Way Of The Gun. You need to make a Larry at the movies of the shootouts in this movie if you haven’t done so already

Love the sound of full auto. It sounds like the Hammer of Thor just hammering away at the evil in the world, lol! Never fails to get my heart pumping faster. Larry’s such a pro too. Always a pleasure to watch and listen to his reviews.

For me, Savior is THE Galil movie. He only fires it a handful of times, but what a sweet rifle! Dennis Quaid plays an ex patriot foreign legion sniper during the Bosnian War. And he’s Galil definitely deserves second billing.

That is the best looking galil!

This reminds me off my SBV days.

My god, it's beautiful!

My service rifle was from 1990 and it was marked as sako but later i was given a new rifle that was from 71 and it was a valmet. Valmet made civilian rifles and military ones until Sako got into te game. They have already made the TRG ”sniper” series etc so it makes sence if they continue building new rifles.
