Gilboa APR is a fully automatic. weapon Personal Defense (Personal Defense Weapon, PDW). Like the Tavor automaton, the name Gilboa comes from the eponymous mountain located in northern Israel. In developing the new machine, the design of some components of the M-16 and M-4 automatic rifles, in particular the lower part of the receiver, was used. This allows the use of standard M-16 and M-4 stores. The upper part of the receiver was developed by Silver Shadow. Both of these components have been completely reworked to increase their rigidity and increase manufacturing accuracy. They are made of 7075 aluminum alloy on CNC machines.

The Timna sniper rifle with a silencer based on the tested design of the Soviet Kalashnikov was adapted for firing heavy, high-speed ammunition with western 7.62 / 51. It allows snipers, both military and law enforcement, to work with maximum secrecy, even from close range, as well as from maximum distance. The rifle is equipped with a barrel Shilen Rifles production and a modern silencer for the entire length of the barrel developed by Silver Shadow, which leaves almost no acoustic signature.

Removable bipods can also be added to allow the installation of a grenade launcher and further reduce recoil.



The Gilboa comes in a variety of sizes and configurations, from the smallest 2.25 kilogram ATP automatic rifles / pistols, short and standard versions, to long-barreled 3.55 kilogram Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) rifles. The ATP model is 51 centimeters long, equipped with a 18 centimeter barrel as standard, but for special applications it can be equipped with a trunk shortened to 11.5, see.

It is equipped with a heavy 45: 7: 1 heavy-duty barrel and a centimeter barrel for using more powerful ammunition.



The strength and reliability of Gilboa has been improved through the use of modern technological processes that ensure quality and reliability in the most extreme conditions. Shortened Gilboa (Gilboa Shorty) was designed specifically for military professionals and law enforcement professionals who need a compact weapon with the firepower of a full-fledged carbine. The assault version of Gilboa APR was developed specifically for combat operations in urban environments. It combines the advantages of both an assault rifle and a pistol.

    A bit like a scorpion, the principle of operation is rather taken with the LR-300, the removal of powder gases and with a rotary shutter

      Advertising waterfall of words, in battle all these bells and whistles are secondary. Always before my eyes the face of a fighter who tells how a machine gun jammed in his battle. Many days have already passed, and he begins to pound at the story.
      Reliability is where to start.

    With a double barrel is an attractive solution. Will it be interesting to get to production? (I'm talking about reliability)

        By the way, the telescope clings to "Whirlwind-M" with a bang (this is about the butt).

    Yes, nothing new. Practically the same M4. Moreover, the "disease" of all relatively short-barreled automatic weapons is barrel heating. This generally applies to all "reproaches" I sprinkled sand ... not an indicator at all. If he shot 300-500 rounds in the same conditions, would have dropped it into the mud, etc., and if after that it would not have wedged, then yes. And so it is not an indicator.
