To be fair, one confound is that U.S. infantry weapons were designed in size & weight to be handled by the typical male soldier. In mixed-sex armies like Israel's, some weapons like the Tavor rifle are lighter & smaller, but equally effective.pic.twitter.com/2w4laEwf2H

A carbine doesn't have the same capabilities as a full sized assault rifle.

It’s chambered the same as the M16/M4.

Range, accuracy, magazine size, use with a bayonet?

Tavor is also designed to be much more maneuverable for CQB in urban areas.

Like M4.

M4 is 7 inches longer than Tavor, much less practical for room-clearing.

An open question is whether the crew weapons could be designed to be lighter without losing too much effectiveness.
