Israel's New 'Gaul' Assault Rifle Draws International Interest

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Is-
rael's newly unveiled auto-
matic assault rifle, named
the "Galil," has aroused the
interest of many foreign ar-
mies.
Spokesmen for Israel's mil-
itary industry whose engin-
eers developed the new weap-
on said that requests to exam-
ine it have already been re-
ceived from a number of
European, African, Asian and
Latin American conntrielL
They predicted that the
"Galil" would have the same
international success as Is-

rael's Uzi submachine gun,
which was developed in the
1950s and his since had mil-
lions of dollars in foreign
sales.
The "Galil" was described
as similar in appearance to
the Russian Kalachnikof as-
sault rifle but superior to it
in performance. A report
published recently in the Mil-
itary Review of the U.S.
Command and General Staff
College at Ft. Leavenworth,
Kan., said that in tests
against the Kalachnikof, the
Belgian FN rifle, the Amer-
