Oleg Volk took these photos at the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot:
Tavor
Lahti 20mm anti-tank rifle ( / cannon ). That thing is HUGE.
Many more photos of the shoot by Oleg here, here and here. Time magazine took a photo of Mike Z. Williamson’s discerning young daughter.

How did someone get a Tavor? I didn’t even think they were on sale in the states yet?
“How did someone get a Tavor? I didn’t even think they were on sale in the states yet?”
The same way everyone shooting at KCR got their stuff, a shitload of money.
If you’ve never been to KCR shoot, start making plans to go to the next one in October. It’s the best $10 I ever spent on a show. http://machinegunshoot.com
The gunshow there is worth the $10 entry fee alone. There was just gun stuff there. No jerkoff selling purses, no beef jerky booth, just guns guns guns. And ammo. A little thin on the pistols, but a decent selection of rifles.
KCR also has a great rifle range 6 days a week. I shoot there at least one day a month. If you’re in the Louisville area, you should be shooting at KCR.
Here’s my story of the Lahti that a friend of mine bought while we were in college—and stored in my room. We cleverly hid it by draping a sheet over it.
I would love to know that too!
I liked Williamson’s books.but Scalzi’s “The Androids Dream” is wonderful.The most imaginative assasination scheme I have encountered.
I came on here to ask the question about the Tavor too… Love the answer Freiheit!
I have really tried to search a civi version of it, and can’t seem to find a thing. Anyone else heard anything on it?

This is on sale in Canada, all I can find right now. It does come with a Meprolight M21, which is a nice touch. But for $3000, its a bit steep. And its in Canada, I figure its only a matter of time before us Texans get them.
“I figure its only a matter of time before us Texans get them.”
Nope. Not legal for import into the U.S. as a semi-auto rifle, thanks to Bush #1.
I like Lahti 20mm!

@ Nick
I was not aware of that, thanks for the info. That is quite depressing, I would love to add one of these to the safe.
