The IWI X95 (formerly known as the Micro-Tavor, MTAR, or MTAR-21) is an Israeli bullpup assault rifle designed and produced by Israel Weapon Industries (IWI). It is part of the Tavor rifle family, along with the TAR-21 and the Tavor 7.

The IWI Tavor X95 (also called Micro-Tavor, MTAR, and MTAR-21) is the submachine gun variant of the TAR-21 designed and produced by Israel Weapon Industries (IWI), part of the Tavor rifle family, along with the TAR-21 and the Tavor 7.
  
The Tavor X95 can be easily distinguished from the TAR-21 (as well as from CTAR-21, STAR-21, and GTAR-21) by the location of the charging handle. The X95's charging handle is closer to the pistol grip, whilst the TAR-21's charging handle is closer to its muzzle. The X95 also features a redesigned buttstock and a magazine release near the pistol grip.
+
In November 2009 the Tavor X95 was selected as the future standard issued weapon of the Israeli infantry.
  
With the use of a relatively simple conversion kit, the Tavor X95 can be converted from a 5.56mm assault rifle to a 9mm submachine gun. A suppressor can also be added to the weapon, either as part of the 9mm conversion kit or as part of a replacement hand guard which integrates the muzzle brake, suppressor, and hand guard. The Tavor X95 also has its own underslung grenade launcher, the X95 GL40. A discontinued production model of the X95, the X95-GL, had the capability to mount a M203 grenade launcher on an extended notched barrel.

The Tavor X95 can be easily distinguished from the TAR-21 (as well as from CTAR-21, STAR-21, and GTAR-21) by the location of the cocking handle. An X95 cocking handle is closer to the pistol grip, while a TAR-21 cocking handle is closer to the muzzle. The stock was also slightly redesigned.
  
When configured to fire 9mm rounds, the gun uses simple blowback operation to cycle, whilst using the same body as the gas-operated rifle system. When in the submachine gun configuration, it is fed from Colt 9mm SMG magazines. A suppressor can be mounted that allows for the use of standard velocity 9mm ammunition, not specialized subsonic ammo. The barrel is the same length as the rifle version, but has a 1:10 in rifling twist to stabilize heavy 9mm bullets.

When configured to fire 9 mm rounds, the gun uses a blowback operation to eject and reload rounds, but in the same body as the gas-operated rifle reloading system. It is fed from Uzi magazines. A suppressor can be mounted that allows for the use of standard velocity 9 mm ammunition, not specialized subsonic ammo. The barrel is the same length as the rifle version, but has a 1:10 in rifling twist to stabilize heavy 9 mm bullets.
  
 
Compared to the 890 mm (35 in) long M4 carbine (with its stock extended) with a 370 mm (14.6 in) barrel, the X95 is 580 mm (22.8 in), 640 mm (25.2 in), or 670 mm (26.4 in) long, with either a 330 mm (13 in.), 380 mm (15.0 in), or a 419 mm (16.5 in) barrel, respectively.
