The Magal is a carbine version of the MAR chambered in the .30-M1 round. It was specifically developed for Israeli police use.
Galil MAR
The Micro Assault Rifle is the smallest variant of the Galil family. It was developed for use by special forces and non-infantry personnel such as vehicle crews. The MAR has a very short barrel and gas piston and is therefore only available in 5.56mm NATO.
R6

Galil SAR
The Short Assault Rifle is the carbine version of the Galil family. It is similar to the AR versions with the difference being the shorter barrel. The R5 is the South African variant of the SAR.

Galil AR
The Assault Rifle is the full size rifle in the Galil family. Like the SAR and ARM it is also also available in 7.62mm NATO. All these models have a longer barrel than their 5.56mm NATO counterparts.
Galil ARM
The Assault Rifle and Machine gun variant of the Galil family is an AR modified to serve as a light support weapon. Features that distinct it from the AR are a bipod, a carrying handle and a wooden handguard to accomodate a hotter barrel due to sustained fire. It is not a true machine gun as it has no quick change barrel and is magazine fed only. It is often used as a normal assault rifle. The R4 is the South African variant of the ARM. Minor changes have been incorporated and the folding stock is lengthened. The LM4 is a semi-automatic version for law enforcement and civilian use.

The Galil Sniper is a precision rifle based on the ARM and is also known as the Galat'z. It is fitted with a two stage trigger, large wooden stock, heavy barrel and is only available in 7.62mm NATO. The scope is mounted off center to allow for the use of the iron sights while the scope is fitted. The SR-99 is a modernized Galil Sniper. It is fitted with an adjustable skeleton stock, synthetic or new wooden handguard and synthetic pistol grip.
