The IWI Galil ACE is a series of assault rifles and battle rifles originally developed and manufactured by Israel Weapon Industries (IWI). It is produced in three different calibres: 5.56×45mm NATO, 7.62×39mm and 7.62×51mm NATO.
IWI US also produced semi-automatic only variants of the Galil ACE. In 2020, a limited edition of the Galil ACE in 5.45×39mm was produced. IW US later introduced the Gen II line which introduced a free-floating M-LOK handguard and M4-style compatible buttstock in 2023.
The IWI Galil ACE series is based upon the original design of the IMI Galil, but instead utilises a modern design to increase its accuracy and lower its weight, while maintaining the original Galil's ergonomics, ease of maintenance and reliability under battle conditions.[1] In the design, emphasis was particularly placed on increasing the reliability and accuracy under adverse battlefield conditions.
The IWI Galil ACE has been adopted as a service rifle in multiple countries, such as the Chilean Army and People's Army of Vietnam. The Galil ACE is also manufactured under license by Indumil,[2] FAMAE,[3] RPC Fort[4] and Z111 Factory.[5]
