Tavor 7
A battle-rifle-caliber bullpup developed from the Tavor X95 platform, chambered for 7.62x51mm NATO to give infantry a longer-range, harder-hitting option than the standard-issue 5.56mm rifle. It retains the compact bullpup layout while scaling up for full-power ammunition.

Full specifications
Performance
Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.
- Effective range
Distance at which the weapon reliably hits point targets. Higher extends engagement envelope.
- 600 m Stronger than 71% of rifles
- Rate of fire
Rounds per minute (cyclic). Higher increases suppression and hit probability.
- 750 rpm Stronger than 62% of rifles
- Muzzle velocity
Projectile speed leaving the barrel. Higher means flatter trajectory and better armor penetration.
- 850 m/s Stronger than 39% of rifles
Firepower
Armament, payload and guidance.
- Main armament
Primary weapon: main gun, cannon or missile type.
- 7.62x51mm NATO bullpup rifle

Program
Cost, production scale and operators.
- Operator countries
Number of countries operating the system. More operators means broader support ecosystem.
