The Galil SAR (Short Assault Rifle) is the compact carbine version of the original Galil ARM, featuring a shorter 13-inch barrel and folding stock. The long-stroke Kalashnikov-derived gas system operates reliably from the shorter barrel, and the folded overall length of approximately 24 inches makes it practical for vehicle crews and paratroopers. The SAR saw service with Israeli infantry and was widely exported.
