Another IWI for the collection alongside the Tavor, Galil ACE, TS12, and Masada.
This could not have come at a worse time - i’m tapped out ! ☹️
But every time u buy a new gun, Biden drops his ice cream cone!! It’s well worth it!
@@TheGoodOlBoyzChannel I will have to think about to make that happen. (Lawmakers in the State on Washington have created so many traps, financial burdens, and threats of prison time/felonies for FFLs that getting ahold of one of these will be challenging.)
@@baomao7243 I'm not far behind you. lol. I have the X 95, Jericho, Masada and TS 12. I'm planning on getting the Carmel next pay day. Then I just need the ACE 52 and I'll have all the IWI that I want.......for now. lol

Love your stuff, also ma friend. Good content. You present well and your genuine, and that 2nd quality... thats much appreciated👌
Don, your dis-assembly instructions are worth $$$ Thanks for all you do to help out those who browse more than shoot.
Thanks Paul, Glad to help!
I, 2nd that notion 👍
x3 on the disassembly overview.
Thanks Don, excellent footage!
The Starship Troopers Rifle!
1st thing that I thought of when I saw this rifle
😂You mean the overly bulky and under powered rifles meant for front line cannon fodders?
In this vidio it looks huge
Looks Hella huge and a full stop on my interest! Interest was high.
Cause it is? Big ugly gun like that Beretta fish gun
@@maximusjoseppi5904as long as it works and it's reliable it's good👍🏿
Thing is way too huge
In some shots and angles it looks big like a .308 battle rifle and other angles it looks HUGE! No matter what it's not compact enough for my uses and certainly not compact enough for CQB.
Edit: plus 8.2lbs w/o accessories. Nope, just nope!
Terrific review. Thanks !
Thanks Steve!
🇺🇸
So badass.
Good luck with your ongoing fitness journey. You inspired me to finally get gastric surgery (mine was Jan 30).
Hands down, one of the best gun review channels out here! This channel is always at the top of my viewing list!
Its huge
I like it. Thanks for the vid 👍
Thanks Tonny!
Love this rifle, thanks for a great review!
Thanks Brother!
IWI Makes great products another great video
Agreed! Thanks Brother
As usual , your videos are the best when it comes to getting info on stuffs , very informative
sweet!
Very cool I like it
Cool iwi Carmel rifle thanks for sharing sootch00
I don’t understand why IWI made such a huge rifle and even with a completely plastic body (hello to the problems of the HK G 36 in the military version) this is some kind of dead-end trend like the “Beretta arx 160”. Good review as always!
Great review. Picked one up 3 months ago and love it.
Thanks James!
They do look good 👍
Will wait for the IWI Hot Fudge
The rifle is huge. That's one chunky piece of metal. 😅
Plastic
Camera angle same thing with the S&W M&P Sport II, then I held it! It felt like a toy, less that $1,000 felt like a toy!! IMO a bad as AR-15! Comes with a red/green dot still less than $1,000!!
@@HalfPint75 yeah. Polimer
You'd think with all that thickness it'd be 308 lol
@@mercinary110 no doubt
It looks huge.
Wow bellissimo😮

Reminds me of the ARX100 in a way. Big!!!
There might be a bit of a typo at 13:55 mark - 115gr bullet listed for the target shooting part. Otherwise a very nice review, as always! Makes me want to get one myself :)
Thank you sir for All your reviews I now know your name and review and your background introduction I respect your amount of research and time you take for your reviews, because of your reviews you personally help me make a informative decision on so many of your topics thank you and I appreciate you!!
Good review. Can you please do a video on which internals are compatible with the X95? The bolt and bolt carrier look very similar.

@Sootch00 What are the ear protection buds that you used while shooting the IWI Carmel [rifle] on the gun range?
I agree. He makes this rifle look Huge.
It’s about time some company made the Copperhead from Cyberpunk 2077.
Although the in game model had interesting & cool Iron Sights on it.
Pretty. I could get a rager 556 with a competition trigger or a suppressor for less than the $1650 for this . Plus rager is 6.5 lbs instead of the 8 lbs. Both do same thing.
What’s a rager?
So buy a rager….😂
It's made by snipe industries. I'm not a paid promoter and I love this channel . So I don't want to give free love to gun makers. Was just trying to compare to a base model AR . What I would like to see is moa comparison, or adverse condition aim drift compared to base models. More fancy doesn't mean more practical.
@@crackmonkey2510not everyone is after “most practical” especially if they already own multiple things.
I’m not one of those people, but I get it.
I’ll wait for the smaller sbr version
Would be a tough choice between something like this or the CZ bren 2.
Bren2, then carmel. If you can find a bren2 carbine, get it and keep it in a safe. Things are unicorns.
Noticed that during the shooting portion of the video, the notation at the top said you were using 115 grain FMJ. Think you meant likely 55 grain FMJ. Shooting a lot of 9mm lately Sootch? 😊. Love the video. Excellent review
Yeah, too much 9mm! lol! Thanks Brother
@@sootch00 No such thing!
I had a Jericho Enhanced II. Wasint impressed with the build quality. Slide was covered in maching marks inside and out. The slide wobble/play both veritcal and horizontal was completely unacceptable. Dumped it off and never looked back. I have had simmilar experiences with Kimber, Taurus, and even H&K. First impressions are everything.
I bet you're afraid to use a hammer because it will put marks on it. Lol
Machining marks? Give me a fucking break. People like you are ridiculous.
First impressions matter indeed. I’ve had good impressions with the Tavor family of rifles but I could see being turned off from what you described
@@timunderbakke8756 I guess I have trust issues from a couple of my ex-girlfriends but once a company sort of snubs me the wrong way I'm kind of done with them. I had a really bad experience with Beretta customer service I've never had a bad experience with one of their weapons but since they're terrible encounter I sold them off and won't own one. It's sort of a matter of principle not that it matters I don't think any of these companies notice but it means something to me. You know what I mean?
@@timunderbakke8756 I have a Jericho and a Masada and have put over 2000 thousand through both of them with no issues. Sorry you had a bad experience, but mine has been awesome.
@@timunderbakke8756 the sad thing is I handled one in the gun store and played with it for about 20 minutes. It offered nothing over a standard AR-15 for me to pay so much more money for it. This one didn't have all the quality issues that the pistol had but it still wasn't worth the money they asked for them.
x95 Short too sir. Thanks.
This guy is the most thorough gun reviewer on youtube. If. Scootch ain't review it probably aint worth buying
Thanks Brother! I appreciate it
@@sootch00 no problem
I am a big fan of IWI. I have a left handed original Tavor which I love.
But I don’t think this rifle is going to do very well. Not much hype heard regarding the rifle either. Have a couple gun stores near me that have had a Carmel for at least 4 months now and still haven’t sold one. So it’s not selling well either. If a person wants to add it to their collection they may not want to wait too long. They may be out of production and a collectors item sooner than you think. It does not take long if you look back at firearms here today and gone tomorrow. Even though the Carmel may not be perfect I would still buy one if I had the extra money to do so. Wish I would have bought the Beretta ARX back when they were available and reasonable.
Don't know about the states but in canada this rifle will be sold out fast
Good evening Blessings Greetings from San Carlos Costa Rica... Pura Vida I like that rifle easy to disassemble for cleaning question does it also shoot 223 caliber or not
What about the psa jakl? Awsome piston gun and lighter
Wouldn't be my first choice but I wouldn't feel underarmed with this. Good choice for anyone looking for a one and done rifle. Short stroke lasts a long time.
I really like it . All polymer ? Is it ok when operating Hot ? I d k maybe i got the wrong idea about its reciever.
Educate me please, someone.
Ty.
Thing is kind of massive 😅
Then Come to Mama. 😊
❤
... What's the tan and olive bag(within) on the left, hanging up?.
I might be interested...but the reason i will not get it is the same reason ignore most bullpups, ....tough to get spare parts! Even on IWI website they are always out of the essential spare parts. Same reason I will probably not get a Hellion, lack of spare parts that i can just buy.
Please Malyuk too sir. 💙💛
The Bren 2 is tiny in comparison. I had a bren 2. I'd probably go with the PSA jackal
It would make a near perfect carbine for me if it could be made under 7 pounds like the M4.
Is this legal for purchase in NJ?
Is it possible to use with iron sights?
My god! If you run the ammo you can use that thing as a club.
Needs either a shorter barrel with pin & weld muzzle device or a longer handguard. Too much skinny barrel hanging out the end
😂This is already heavier than a SCAR17, so no good solution to your concern.
Just get a Bren2 pistol if this is your type and do whatever upgrade you want. 11'' bbl SBR with HBI handguard is a super good configuration.
Look like a IWI version of a scar but 556.
Does an lpvo make this too heavy?
Kinda reminds me of the Beretta ARX-100 rifle…
Kind of reminds me of an ARX. But bulkier
There is a Carmel Beach in CA.
Heh. Would the FDE version be the Carmel in peanut butter?
So its a giant ar15
👍
Side note and totally unrelated. Where did you get the wood furniture on the AR15 in the background!!! (About the 3 minute mark in the video.)
Boyd’s stock
@@saltwater6489 Thank you.
From the video it looks like the heaviest recoiling 556 gun from what is also an extremely bulky and heavy weapon. Contrary to what you said about recoil
Are 30 round mags banned? Only problem with the Zion is they changed the models up or offer a different one. The price dropped so it can't be the same now can it?
Only if you live in a shit state.
RUclips cuckery
@@chrisfishback7363 I think with all the stuff going on in this country today, we need to have Modern Day Minutemen in every community in the USA. How to start it I don't know, it would kind of be like the National Guard only not as formal. These gun grabbers would have to shut up and put up or get the hell out of our country, if they're not willing to put their money where their mouths are. That would be the best prepping we could possibly do for ourselves.
RUclips will shut videos down if they are using a full 30 round or larger magazine. It’s just complying with platform policy not a law
Thanks a lot Sootch, i am from IDF we have only Tavor x95 or m4 carabine)
Let me feel it a little - you don’t have an M 4, you have a shortened one from the M 16, that is, it was in Israel that they shortened the barrels and gas tubes of the M 16 rifles, buying new upper receivers (with a rail) and stocks with buffer tubes and buffers :) sorry for being boring.
@lekerstobalgo698 it's also true) but the m4 is also very popular. From all ar15 platforms it's abaut 50/50 plus minus..
By the way, I wanted to ask you as a military user, what do you think about the ease of cleaning and maintenance of TAVOR? , I played a little with its military licensed copy which was produced in Ukraine in caliber 5.45x39 (FORT 221) but did not disassemble it.
@lekerstobalgo698 me personally prefer an ar15 platform. But the tavor is not make the life so hard, i mean cleaning and maintaining.
@lekerstobalgo698 by the way, about a half year ago, our Police and Border Police (Magav its name) and some special forces get the Arad carabine, its same like h&k 416. But made in Israel 🇮🇱. Great rifle, ergonomic the as m4, and reliable like ak platform. Great tool
PSA Jackal for the win!
🤡
I hope that trigger pin is mechanically captured, because it was jumping like a Mexican bean with every trigger pull 😅
If this was available in .308 it would be interesting. My Beretta ARX100 is everything this is but lighter and more compact and I paid $800 for it 5 years ago. These things are $1700-1800 range as were the Berettas when introduced and the sticker shock hindered sales...that and the never released caliber kits Beretta promised. I just don't see this thing selling all that well with the competition available. At this price why not just buy a Tavor? If you don't want a bullpup then the PSA JAKL is looking like a far better deal with the various configuration options and availability in 300 Blackout. I'm not sure who this Carmel is actually for. 🤷♂
If came in 308 I'd get it. But is only available in 556 in u.s.. and costs bit much $1700.
That looks like it weighs at least 30lbs in this video!!!
It is disappointing that it was not of the new caliber (6.8*51) like XM5
I never fired one, but I handled one in a gun shop. Comparing it to my CZ Bren II, in my opinion the Bren is a better rifle. Namely it has a better trigger, smoother action and the weight is more distributed evenly. In addition, favorable reports on the CZ have been coming from the Ukraine from some troops that were issued the CZ Bren. The Bren is also issued to Czech republic army. On the other hand I could find no Miltary, special operations or police that use the IWI Carmel. SInce I made that comparsion, I noticed the IWI Careml came down in price. Could be good because of lower price but, then again it could be a sign that no one wants to buy it. The Carmel had a recall ( only certain serial number range) shortly after hitting the market so that didn't do it any favors.
weapons produced by IWI are all strange and even expensive for their qualities, I think that designers in Israel do not have access to modern weapons developments (and the domestic weapons market in Israel is zero), so IWI designers “invent” nonsense, which does not take into account the world the market and the wrong paths of other gun manufacturers. And yes, the modern way of “assault rifles” is weapons like CZ BREN 2, FN SCAR, that is, with an extruded upper part of the receiver and a plastic molded lower receiver.
@@lekerstobalgo698 I own one and would buy another tomorrow if fate parted me from mine today. "Strange and even expensive...nonsense" is a purely subjective critique devoid of empiricism. I respect your opinion and personal perspective. Consider the IDF applied use case. Israel may be the only nation that is always on highest DEFCON for the literal survival of their state and people. Your assertion that, "IWI designers 'invent' nonsense" would suggest zero-sum logic and in consideration of the real world/real-time dependence on weapon systems for survival, (as opposed to LARP, plinking, USPSA "tactical" shooting at stuff that doesn't shoot back), IMHO, makes little rational sense. I don't believe, ( in my ignorant assumptions ) that IWI designs for an international/export market but rather, to effectively neutralize, ( that's PC for "kill" ), 24-7, 365 real and present dangers. And at that, inarguably, they are without peer.
@@TasteLikeChicken By the term “strange” weapon I mean this “CARMEL”, which has very large body dimensions and weight for its caliber, plus possible problems of overheating of the barrel trunnion and its mixing in the plastic of the body during long automatic fire (like the HK G 36 in Afghanistan) due to the fact that everything is surrounded by plastic in the structure and there is no heat transfer. Naturally, everything I have written is a subjective opinion. I don’t know how much TAVOR costs for IDF, but in the civilian market it is expensive and expensive for licensed release by other manufacturers (IWI charge a lot of money for a license, etc.) so I think there is relatively little distribution of TAVOR around the world. In general, bullpups have relatively little distribution in the world of assault rifles, especially among actively fighting armies. From Israeli small arms, for example, I really liked the concept - IWI ARAD, which I only recently learned about and I believe in the. promise of this weapon
What recoil?
Looks like a mix of a Bren and a mexican fx05
Get the arx beretta.....IF u can find one
IWI is a great manufacturer but that's a little large.
I think it looks like a 2 x 4
So this is the gun I shouldn’t be worried about..
@@ClickOnProfile00. what’s so good about the conversation we are going to have?
Ive had my X-95 Tavor fir 7 yrs now. FARRR SUPERIOR to the AR...AWWWSOME Quality! God Bless...😊
I think you mean the 95 is a better design which is arguable. I have seen plenty of AR-15s that are of equal quality. I think it's just a matter of preference as both rifles are so good
Any complaints?
I believe the correct pronunciation is Car- Mel
The guys at IWI call it Carmel but I thought at first it was Car-Mel too.
😀🖖
Please review the new Jericho pistols from iwi
Now there is a weapon I want to add to my collection, its just to bad they didn't keep the original prototype chassis!
They should've just taken the R out of the name, since it looks like it weighs as much as a camel. Damn near same size too. All jokes aside, I'm sure it's a great rifle.
I prefer the chocolate version
The police want to know if it can shoot acorns.😂😂
Looks like a bren except it will probably work without having to spend a bunch of money on HBi parts to get it running. I’m looking for a Carmel
.308 sure but not 5.56. Gun looks gigantic lol ;)
Looks like a chonky ARX

@@donalddicorcia2433 lol I can hear it like its Homer Simpsons voice.
How will the piston rods stand up to shooting? Are they thin and break easy like the Kodiak Defence WK180C?
👍👌
Why is it so massive
It’s a big ACR. 🤔
If you think this rifle is heavy try try walking thru the jungle in congo with an fn fal
2:17 Why in the war now most of the soldiers carry the M4 Tavor failed in the real war
I am Brazilian and will use this opportunity to give a message, seeing that this is a gun made in Israel. Israel has the right to exist and fight for it's sovereignt, is the only free country in the Middle East and has made great contributions in areas like science and technology, long live to the State of Israel.
And...the right of women to live as human beings.
