IWI US 7 308 Win 5.56 NATO 20" 10-Round Bullpup Rifle

The IWI US 7 308 Win 5.56 NATO 20" 10-Round Bullpup Rifle (model XB1610) represents a purpose-built platform for shooters and operators who demand compact firepower without sacrificing effective range or accuracy. The bullpup configuration—with the action and magazine housed behind the trigger group—delivers a significantly shorter overall profile than traditional rifle layouts, making it ideal for tactical operations, home defense, and situations where maneuverability in tight spaces is critical. Engineered by IWI US, Inc., a manufacturer with decades of experience in Israeli defense platforms, this rifle brings proven reliability and forward-thinking design to the American market.

This dual-caliber platform chambers both .308 Winchester and 5.56 NATO, allowing operators to select ammunition based on mission requirements—whether engaging at extended distances with .308 ballistics or leveraging the lower recoil and cost efficiency of 5.56. The 20-inch barrel balances velocity retention with handling, maximizing muzzle energy while maintaining the compact handling characteristics that define the bullpup form factor. The 10-round magazine capacity meets modern regulatory compliance in many jurisdictions while providing sufficient firepower for defensive and training applications. At 9.81 pounds, the rifle achieves a favorable weight-to-capability ratio, reducing shooter fatigue during extended operations or training sessions without compromising structural rigidity or accuracy potential.

Law enforcement specialized units, civilian tactical enthusiasts, and home-defense-focused shooters benefit most from this platform's combination of compact ergonomics and centerfire rifle capability. The bullpup layout excels in vehicle operations, confined-space entries, and scenarios where traditional rifle length creates handling disadvantages. Compatibility with standard .308 and 5.56 ammunition supplies ensures reliable resupply and training flexibility, while the established IWI platform ecosystem supports accessory integration and aftermarket support. Whether configured for duty use or personal protection, the XB1610 delivers the precision and reliability expected from a modern centerfire rifle in a significantly more deployable package.
