The IWI ARAD 5 is a modern, advanced rifle platform engineered for shooters who demand elevated performance beyond traditional M4-style systems. Developed in response to the needs of elite military and law enforcement units, the ARAD 5 has proven its reliability and capability in demanding environments. Its semi-monolithic upper provides exceptional rigidity, allowing consistent zero retention when using a wide range of optics and thermal devices, while the modular handguard features M-LOK attachment points at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions for versatile accessory integration. At the core of the platform is a short-stroke gas piston system with a two-position regulator, ensuring reliable operation in both suppressed and unsuppressed configurations. The rifle incorporates IWI's proven quick-change barrel retention system, allowing efficient maintenance and adaptability. Equipped with a durable 4150 CMV barrel manufactured to the same standards as IWI's proven designs, the ARAD 5 delivers long-term accuracy and performance. The lower receiver is built to MIL-STD compatibility, providing broad access to aftermarket triggers, grips, and components, resulting in a highly adaptable and user-configurable rifle system.
