They do carry the weapons empty but have two 15 round magazines on the stock. off duty soldiers do the same thing as far as keeping their m4/m16/tavor empty but have a 30 round magazine close by. You would be surprised how fast you get accustomed to seeing assault rifles around every corner.

cool! I was wondering what kind of modern sling would be attached. Looks very practical, I like the wide straps.

This is cool,I love the way those young-un’s are sticking up for themselves.The Israeli’s are a fine example of courage in this World.I have come to love the M1 Carbine as well as other classic weapons.They are easily over-looked in the stampede to get the latest and greatest.

Interestingly, they are carrying them empty. Notice no magazine in place. And I love the phone pocket on the sling.

I would guess they are American surplus.
