Small arms

Israel Weapon Industries' small arms offerings are notable, with numerous well identified product names and de facto 'brands'. Examples are the Uzi submachine gun and the IMI Galil assault rifle, and the Negev light machine gun. In addition, such offerings as the Jericho 941 semi-automatic pistol and Tavor assault rifle are globally recognized and marketed firearms.
In the 1980s, an American firearms designer, Magnum Research, contracted IMI to re-design and manufacture a magnum caliber, resulting in the production of a semi-automatic pistol marketed as the Desert Eagle.
In 2005, Israel Military Industries sold its Magen division to Israeli privately owned holding company SK Group and renamed Israel Weapon Industries.
