Tavor CTAR-21 – as derived from the latter designation – is a highly compact and potent Engineer primary. Veterans can easily recognize it from afar just by the sound, a feat not shared by many weapons!

INSPIRATION

This gun traces its origins back to Tavor CTAR-21, designed by Israeli Military Industries. This firearm was first introduced in mid-90’s, and was one of the first unique and break-through designs of its manufacturer. Originally, the weapon was branded “Advanced Assault Rifle”, though ultimately was renamed to “TAR” under the Tavor family. The C denotes its status: compact, often mistaken for ‘carbine’ or ‘commando’. Its bullpup configuration has earned the rifle relatively futuristic looks, thus ensuring a place in media. CTAR-21 is also the current service rifle for the Israeli Defence Forces.

IN WARFACE

Tavor CTAR-21 strikes not only with its performance, but its looks. The bullpup configuration mentioned above brings it to the point of looking legit, whether wielded against futuristic robotic defences of the “Earth Shaker” or in plain contemporary combat against other – more human – foes.

This compact SMG features an incredibly potent rate of fire for its damage, while the design reduces the kickback to a bare minimum. Essentially, its forward and upper rails allow for plenty of modifications to be installed – adjust the weapon to fit your playstyle. It’s necessary to point out the effective range that lives up to some of the Rifleman’s arsenal – a strong feat by itself, considering SMGs are meant to be effective at much lower ranges.

The weapon comes in two variants: regular and golden; both can be found in Random Kredit Boxes. The golden Tavor CTAR-21 carries more rounds in the mag (+5, up to a total of 35), and thus more total ammo (+30, up to a total of 210).
