Galil Sniper
An Article by by Peter G. Kokalis .
Throughout history snipers and their equipment have held the military's interest only during periods of armed conflict. Between wars they languish in a limbo buried under higher priorities. But Israel's state of siege never ends, so it stands to reason that sniping would occupy no small role in Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tactics. Yet until recently their snipers have made do with little more than exhausted M14s - junkyard remnants of American military hopes left rotting in the jungles of Southeast Asia.
