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

Sorry brother I feel bad posting these, maybe I shouldn't, I switched my pre order to Carmel after seeing that , with the amount of money we put iut gor these guns in Canada and most likey no warranty support ( in a timly manner that is ) i cant risk it

I have a deposit on a Carmel too. Fortunately from the same store so I might be able to use the Makasi deposit as a store credit toward the Carmel

I mean after this fellows reviews of the live firing of the Makasi it doesnt look bad at all no issues

Would like to see if there are any issues after 1000 rounds or so

Id still consider a Makasi after they land and we get more reviews posted

I cant one of each at the moment so I switched my pre order from Maksi to Carmel

I used to have a G36 and I didn't like how plasticky and awkward it was so the Carmel is giving me similar vibes, so that's why I'm 2-timing with the Makasi, but at this point with all the good rifles banned I really wouldn't mind having just a Carmel. The Makasi pre-order came out first so I put a deposit for that but I would've seriously reconsidered [edit: if the Carmel pre-order was already released]
