That is what has me asking the question. As purpose driven as my gun purchases usually are, and this one would fill the most important niche of home defense, it's so hard for me to consider putting $1.6k into a rifle that shoots 3 MOA. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

The bull pup would seem better for indoor use, given the shorter OAL and better center of gravity. That is what has me asking the question. As purpose driven as my gun purchases usually are, and this one would fill the most important niche of home defense, it's so hard for me to consider putting $1.6k into a rifle that shoots 3 MOA. Do you need 3MOA for home defense? I would argue, you do not. |

Arm fatigue! Train an AR one handed on a target, then try a Tavor. The AR is not even in the same league. You are right, its not in the same league, Tavor is peewee, AR is NFL. I shoot ARs one handed all the time, heck my wife can shoot them one handed. I have handled Tavors plenty, they are gross boat anchors dude. I would rather clear rooms with an M16A4 than one of those clunky shitpiles. Tavors are junk for CQB bro. Deal with it. Also have junk accuracy. Also are heavy as shit. Also are expensive. Not sure what they do well? |

Marines were clearing rooms in Fallujah with 20" M16A4s.
Not ideal, for sure, but a 16" AR is just fine for HD. |

chose the one you are trained on the best. duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

For some reason, the high speed dudes in Australia, just like the high speed dudes in all countries that have general issue bullpups, use.........ARs.

I have always been an ar guy, got quite a few but then I picked up a Tavor. In my opinion it is a great rifle that excels in certain areas. Is it perfect? No, but then again nothing is. It has replaced my ar for a go to around the house rifle. The speed and ease in manipulating it indoors and inside vehicles far exceeds that of a standard ar. I believe it is more accurate than most in this thread believe probably around 1.5 moa if the shooter does his job. However, the Tavor was never intended as a long range precision rifle. For the ranges it was designed for it is more then accurate enough, I personally cannot imagine a self defense scenario where you would take a shot exceeding 100 yards. (Not to say that the Tavor is not capable of that, I would just personally use something else for shots over 100 yards)

Side eject bullpups are WORSE indoors than an AR. Most others are too due to set up. You guys advocating them need to learn some modern cqb stuff. View Quote Yeah, greater overall length the better indoors. 20 or 24" AR is best for reaching across the living room and touching someone. |

I like my Tavor. Use it as my bedside rifle. That being said - I also have an AR15 that shares the job. They both work when I pull the trigger, and I can hit what I aim at with both. Pretty sure that's what matters.
|
|
Plus I like having a 16.5" barrel in the Tavor versus even a ten or eleven inch barrel in an sbr that has a longer overall length.

I have the RFB as the "go-to" rifle in the house... but if something gets interesting in the night, Im starting with the glock unless its confirmed to be bad guys

Former tavor owner here. They do have decent to good accuracy with a good trigger in and good match ammo. As one poster said, "there is no good way to grab it that feels natural or intuitive." Sure they can be fired one handed, so can a 14.5" or shorter ar. The tavor is Fuckin bad when suppressed, all the excess gas from over gassed piston blows out in ur eyes/nose. The vid showing left hand firing also shoes that guy hold is head back 4-5" from were it would normally be on stock. In the real world, under stress, u would forget to do that and either cause a jam or get a case stabbed in your cheek.
I do like in these comparisons that pics of tavors next to ars, the ar always have the stock all the way out. Usually about fully collapsed or pos1 is ideal, unless ur a wookie or a tard that mounted ur scope to far back. My tavor, with no optic or light, weighed more then my 14.5 LW with an aimpoint pro and m952v. With the dbal mounted they were equal. Why, in most of the HD threads, do some people complain that a 10.5" ar will be ineffective or will not be as lethal as a 16". Do these people not realize that they aren't required to use m193 or m855? My 10.5" pistol still gets 2500 with most 55 gr soft point or horn tap, pretty sure that will provide all the fragmentation/ bullet upset to be effective inside 150 yds. In fact it is lethal on yotes to 200 yds so I'm sure across the room distances it will be gtg. |

I like the idea of the ar15 and a bullpup for home defense. I built up a pretty nice 14.5" AR with premium components and in practice with it a lot.
However, when I'm tired and awakened at night, I find myself always grabbing the glock with light attached to go check out the bumps in the night. How about you guys? |

bullpups rock indoors this is an AUG with a 20" barrel vs a 10.5" AR. Going with a 16" AUG will still get you a more compact package than that AR even with the stock fully collapsed http://www.silencertalk.com/albums/Steyr/IMG_0800.jpg View Quote I so want an AUG |

If you are using something that you could potentially be protecting yourself with, you should go with the one that you've trained with. I doubt you'd want to be fumbling around with a rifle when you're trying to not die.

Not to mention its role as a close quarters, urban fighting rifle is combat proven. I will certainly agree that I wish it was a pound lighter and hundreds cheaper, but I think it is fair value for the platform. It's not a DMR, but it certainly has combat effective accuracy. |

3 moa? Lol someone is a shitty shot. I've run mine in my rifle course, beat my times with it. It also had a tighter grouping than my free float colt. A heavy trigger magnifies bad habits that a shooter has while a light trigger hides it.

Copy that. That would be great on a .22 AR, certainly not HD worthy. Pretty far cry from the current iteration of the Eotech.

I embedded a vid in this thread showing a guy shooting a Tavor with his off hand, didn't appear to be bothering him. So it can be shot offhand. But then again he may be tougher than the average arfcom princess. As long as your rifle is absolutely reliable, then over 90% of the equation is the guy pulling the trigger, not the tool. A $1000 golf club don't make you Tiger Woods any more than an AR-15 makes you Jerry Miculek. |
