The Tavor may have been officially adopted in 2006, but it was available for foreign sales before that. The IDF's been slow to adopt it, in part because they're really not sure if it's better than the M16s/M4s that most personnel already use. As of now, the Tavor is still in somewhat limited circulation (if you watch news footage of the Gaza conflict in December/January, you'll see almost all of the Israelis were still using M16s and M4s).
Also, one of the armorers who worked on "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" visited that page and made a whole bunch of corrections and provided us with additional information on the film's guns. He said nothing about the Tavors being mock-ups or fakes.
