Gun and gear reviews IWI CARMEL 5.56 Surprised Me… 200 Rounds Straight Out the Box

https://youtube.com/shorts/sb0SrnB51LU?si=BZkm-BwyiLDtPl1e

I did not focus on grouping yet for this rifle because the range is only 13 yards unfortunately though when I go to

I’ll be going to a longer range. It’ll make a separate video on the grouping for both Makasi and Carmel

Good to hear. The early Makasi reports re fit, finish and QC aren't great. Small sample size but consistent.

Who’s had fit and finish complaints with the mk15? Was it OPs video or others?

There's a post here today somewhere from a fella who ordered in a restricted length version through Irunguns. He's not thrilled.

How heavy is that bad boy with that scope? That must be 10 pounds at least when loaded with Cross Mags?

Good stuff bro, can you tell us about the weight ? How balanced is it, front heavy ? I’m kinda liking these now but I’m still on the fence.

It’s balanced I’ll be making a more in depth video

Imo the Carmel is uglier than the Makasi but I bet in the long run it's a smarter choice because it's IWI you know the thing is going to be a tank

I mean yeah it’s looks chunky but damn solid

u/Geralt-of-Rivai 1h ago

I'll take solid and reliable build over beauty

NR is probably here in 3 weeks. Can’t wait

I’m not surprised on the carmel. It’s a IWI rifle using the same system found in the Bren. It would be a reliable gun.

Looks promising Makasi looked promising but I think IWI caramel might be better.
Fan of Tavor wish I bought one before the ban 😢
