Frequently Asked Questions

What were the main challenges with the IWI TS-12 shotgun's initial development?

The IWI TS-12 shotgun initially struggled to reliably cycle common bulk ammunition like Winchester White Box. The action would 'laugh' at the ammunition, meaning it wouldn't function. This led IWI to hold back the release for significant adjustments to the gas system and springs.

What accuracy standard is IWI aiming for with the Tavor-7 rifle?

While the Tavor-7 was initially designed to milspec standards (around 4 MOA at 100 yards), IWI is actively working to improve its accuracy for the commercial market. They are aiming for a standard of approximately 1 MOA, recognizing that higher precision is expected for a rifle in its price range.

How does IWI ensure the reliability and quality of its firearms?

IWI employs a rigorous testing process, including a 20,000-round torture test for their firearms. They meticulously check fit and finish every 1,000 rounds to ensure that only the best possible product is released to consumers.

When can consumers expect the IWI TS-12 and Tavor-7 to be released?

IWI is not providing a definitive release date for the TS-12 and Tavor-7. They will release the firearms as soon as they are ready and meet IWI's stringent quality and performance standards, emphasizing that the delay benefits the end-user.
