TAR-21

The TAR-21 is a weapon in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It is an Israeli bullpup assault rifle chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition with a selective fire system. The name "T.A.R. 21" stands for "Tavor Assault Rifle - 21st Century". It is the standard issued weapon of the Givati Brigade (since August 2006) and Golani Brigade (since August 2008), with the Nahal Brigade receiving it by 2010. The T.A.R. 21 was selected as the future assault rifle of the Israeli Defense Forces, and within the next few years it will become the standard Israeli infantry weapon.

In Game
The TAR-21 is unlocked at level 20. Because it is a one shot kill at any range in Hardcore mode, its minimum damage per bullet is at least 30. It has very low recoil, and despite the slight shake to the left or right whenever it is fired, it is highly accurate. When a Red Dot Sight is attached, it will take the appearance of the standard TAR-21 optic sight, the MARS sight.

It is considered one of the most powerful assault rifles in Modern Warfare 2, with both good damage and rate of fire. It's only downside is that of inaccuracy at long range; it will lose to a SCAR-H starting around 200 yards. Between 50 and 150 yards, however, it will outgun nearly every other SMG or assault rifle.

In the campaign it is used heavily by the Russian military in the United States.
