IWI US
IWI US was founded in 1933 when Israel Military Industries Ltd. started the production of firearms in Israel under the British Mandate. In the late 1950s, IMI began collaborating with the Israel Defense Forces to develop the most technologically advanced small arms systems to meet the needs of the army. The unique combat conditions faced by the Israel Defense Forces required a new paradigm in the development of firearms. That’s how Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) Ltd was born.
The Joint Research and Development (R&D) Group of IWI and IDF continues intended to develop small arms based on dynamic changes in real-world applications due to the ongoing threat of global terrorism.
The intensive use of IWI products by the Israel Defense Forces and the armed forces of other countries such as Chile, Colombia, Georgia, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Portugal, Thailand, Ukraine, Vietnam, and many others, allows the company to continue to develop new products. and optimize the existing models.
Weapon systems include:
American firearms designer Magnum Research contracted IWI to redesign and manufacture the Magnum semi-automatic pistol in the 80s. The result was the Desert Eagle.
In 2014, IWI released the IWI DAN .338 sniper rifle. The rifle is designed to be light and compact to carry. The IWI DAN.338 sniper rifle has been selected as the new sniper rifle of the British Army's SAS Special Forces Unit.
