The '''IWI X95''' (formerly known as the '''Micro-Tavor''', '''MTAR''' or '''MTAR-21''')<ref>[https://www.iwi.us/X95 Tavor X95] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170802134145/http://iwi.us/X95 |date=2017-08-02 }} IWI US, Official Wesbdite</ref> is an Israeli bullpup assault rifle designed and produced by Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) as part of the Tavor rifle family, along with the Tavor TAR and the Tavor 7.

==History== In November 2009, the X95 was selected as the future standard-issue weapon of the Israeli infantry.<ref name="dover.idf.il">[http://dover.idf.il/IDF/News_Channels/bamahana/09/043/01.htm מיקרו–תבור לכל לוחם חי"ר] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091122184854/http://dover.idf.il/IDF/News_Channels/bamahana/09/043/01.htm |date=2009-11-22 }}. Dover.idf.il. Retrieved on 2010-08-31.</ref>

Following the use of the weapon by Indian forces fighting the insurgency in Kashmir, CRPF commanders have stated that the X95 is a more effective assault rifle than the AKM, due to its small size, power, longer range and lighter weight.{{citation needed|date=October 2025}}

In 2014, the IDF announced that in the future (from as early as the end of 2014) some infantry units could start to be issued some numbers of an improved X95, which will have a longer {{convert|380|mm|abbr=on|1}} barrel, instead of the original {{convert|330|mm|abbr=on|1}} barrel of the X95, and a lighter trigger pull.<ref>[http://www.israeldefense.co.il/?CategoryID=514&ArticleID=5587 ישראל דיפנס], הכתבה הופיעה במלואה במקור במגזין "במחנה" גיליון 47, 12 דצמבר 2013.</ref> In September 2021, it was reported that Israeli front-line infantry units have begun replacing their Tavor and Micro Tavor Rifles with M4s and that the Micro Tavor Rifles in existing inventory will be transitioned to reserve brigades.<ref name="INN">{{Cite web|url=https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/313041|title=IDF to replace Israeli Tavor rifles with American M4s|date=September 5, 2021}}</ref>

On 7 September 2021, a report was published on the IDF's Hebrew website that the IDF plans to continue acquiring the Micro Tavor and equipping combat units with it.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-09-08|title=IDF continuing to acquire Micro Tavor assault rifles|url=https://www.israeldefense.co.il/en/node/51751|access-date=2021-11-15|website=Israel Defense|language=en}}</ref>

==Design== {{See also|IWI Tavor#Design features and engineering}}The X95 can be easily distinguished from the TAR-21 (as well as from the CTAR-21, STAR-21, and GTAR-21) by the location of its charging handle.

The X95's charging handle is closer to the pistol grip, whilst the TAR-21's charging handle is closer to its muzzle.

The X95 also features a redesigned buttstock and a magazine release near the pistol grip.<ref name="tar21">{{Cite web |url=http://tar21.com/iwi-tavor-tar21-rifle-idf-military-assault-rifles/x95-micro-tavor-compact-rifle-of-the-idf/ |title=X95 Micro-Tavor Compact Rifle of the IDF |access-date=2016-04-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160721142854/http://tar21.com/iwi-tavor-tar21-rifle-idf-military-assault-rifles/x95-micro-tavor-compact-rifle-of-the-idf/ |archive-date=2016-07-21 |url-status=usurped }}</ref>

Compared to the {{convert|890|mm|abbr=on}} long M4 carbine (with its stock extended) with a {{convert|368|mm|abbr=on|1}} barrel, the X95 is {{convert|580|mm|abbr=on|1}}, {{convert|640|mm|1|abbr=on}}, or {{convert|670|mm|1|abbr=on}} long, with either a {{convert|330|mm|abbr=on}}, {{convert|380|mm|abbr=on}}, or a {{convert|419|mm|abbr=on}} barrel, respectively.<ref name="iwi" /><ref name="sadj" />

=== Action === As of Spring 2020, all new 5.56×45mm NATO production X95's were upgraded with the .300 AAC Blackout recoil mechanism.<ref name="USISBR">{{Cite web|url=https://iwi.us/product/tavor-x95-sbr-5-56-nato/=XB13SBR |title=product page|date=September 11, 2021}} {{dead link|date=September 2021}}</ref>

=== Conversion === With the use of a relatively simple conversion kit, the X95 can be converted from a 5.56mm assault rifle to a 9mm submachine gun.

A suppressor can also be attached, as part of the 9mm conversion kit, or as part of a replacement handguard which integrates the muzzle brake, suppressor, and handguard.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ratworxusa.com/product.rw-sup-zrx9m|title=RAT Worx USA|website=ratworxusa.com}}</ref>

When configured in 9mm, the X95 uses a blowback system to cycle through the ammunition, whilst using the same body as the gas-operated rifle system. It uses Colt 9mm SMG magazines. The barrel is of the same length as of the rifle configuration, but has a 1:10 in rifling twist to stabilise the heavy 9mm round.<ref name="sadj">[http://sadefensejournal.com/wp/?p=1125 IWI X95: A Bullpup For IDF Special Forces] - SAdefensejournal.com, 21 March 2012</ref>

=== Accessories === The X95 has its own underslung grenade launcher, the X95 GL 40.<ref>{{cite web |title=X95 IWI GL 40 - IWI |url=https://iwi.net/iwi-gl/x95-iwi-gl-40/ |website=IWI.net |publisher=IWI}}</ref> A discontinued production model of the X95, the X95-GL had the capability to mount an M203 grenade launcher on an extended notched barrel.

There are three different handguards currently available for the X95:

# the first being rounded so it can mount the suppressor inside of the handguard, and is currently only available for military issue # the second is a rectangular one with integrated rails at the 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions, and has removable rail covers # the third is an elongated version of the second, made for IWI US Tavor X95s.

The rounded handguard originally had separate picatinny rails on the receiver and handguard, but IWI has produced a full-length flattop rail and an underside rail for it; the other two handguards have integrated flattop rails.

The X95 comes with the option of changing out the pistol grip with either the standard Tavor Talon trigger guard, a traditional trigger guard, or any compatible third-party accessory.

The X95 comes in a number of variants (including):<ref name="iwi">{{Cite web|url=http://iwi.net/catalogs/X95brochure/index.html|title=IWI X95 official brochure|access-date=2016-10-06|archive-date=2016-10-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161009120551/http://iwi.net/catalogs/X95brochure/index.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
