Galil - Black Ops Multiplayer Weapon Guide

Facebook: http://facebook.com/XboxAhoy Twitter: http://twitter.com/xboxahoy In this episode we're covering the fifth assault rifle, the Galil. It's a fully automatic weapon, unlocked at level 20. The Galil is an Israeli weapon, taking its name from its designer - Yisrael Galil. The weapon was introduced into service with the IDF in 1972, winning in testing against rival designs such as the M16A1, Stoner 63 and AK-47. Its design is based on the earlier Finish Rk 62 rifle, which in turn is derived from the Soviet AK-47 design. The version seen in Black Ops is the ARM variant - or 'Assault Rifle and Machine gun', intended to fill a squad support role. The larger wooden hand guard and carry handle are the characteristic features of this variant. When adopted by the IDF in 1972, the Galil replaced the FN FAL as Israel's service rifle of choice - the FAL not proving particularly reliable in the harsh middle-eastern environment. The Galil would have 29 years of service as Israel's prime service rifle, before being supplanted by the newer TAR-21 in 2001. It did have considerable impact during its era, however - with no fewer than 28 countries adopting the rifle in some capacity. The design lives on in the licensed South African service rifle, the R4 - which entered service in 1982, and remains the rifle used by the South African Defence Force. The Galil is chambered for the NATO standard 5.56mm round, although some later Galil variants also fired the larger 7.62mm calibre. Magazine capacity is a cut above most of the other rifles, at 35 rounds instead of 30 - only the G11 bests it with 48 rounds, and the G11 lacks the extended magazine attachment. With Extended Mags, you'll get an unequaled 50 rounds at your Galil's disposal. Damage is moderately good, being one of the higher damage automatic rifles, on par with the Commando and AK-47. Capable of killing in just 2 headshots, this higher damage will mean the Galil kills in 3 roun
