IMI doesn't design all Israeli weapons. Look, why in gods name would I say Israeli airsoft guns if I wanted an M16? So they employ that weapon in certain infantry regiments, but do you honestly believe the average person thinks M16=Israel?
The fact that I even said IMI should give everyone the impression that I was referring to Israeli manufactured weapons.
God I hate public schools.
You are wrong. Don't try to make it look like I don't know how to read.
The AR-15 system is used by the IDF. Therefore, it is an IDF weapon. Please consider this excerpt from dictionary.com...

1. The choice between two mutually exclusive possibilities.
2. A situation presenting such a choice.
3. Either of these possibilities. See Synonyms at choice.
It is something that is used in the place of another. The choice between two MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE possibilities. That means that two alternatives can NOT be used at once, or else they would not be alternatives. They exclude each other mutually. Therefore, by using "or" you said that IMI and IDF are alternatives, which means you wanted one or the other - weapons manufacted by IMI or weapons used by the IDF.
Let's use some basic logic here and pick apart your sentence piece by piece. You said "IMI or IDF".
IMI is a manufacturer of weapons in Israel. So we can substitute that phrase for IMI and say "Weapons manufactured in israel or IDF"
IDF is basically Israel's army. When you say "IDF weapons" that means weapons that are used by the IDF. So, again, we substitute... "IMI or weapons that are used by the IDF".
Now let's put it all together, and put that whole phrase back into the original sentence...
"Are any weapons manufactured in Israel or weapons that are used by the IDF airsoft replica's (shouldn't have had an apostrophe there) going to be released this year?"
