Is it a meme?
>>64762736No, mag in grip with telescoping bolt was a natural evolution of submachine guns.
>>64762736It was the ultimate WW2 era SMG. It would have been an icon if it had been invented a decade earlier instead of postwar.
>>64762736It's a well-designed generation II SMG. I personally like gen III SMG more, but if I were a developing nation that needed many SMGs at a lower cost, then the Uzi would be a great choice.
>>64762767it became an icon through hollywood. It and the tec9 and mac10 are the three 'gangbanger gunman' kinda vibe.
>>64762736How accurate is it?
>>64762736the mp5 does the same thing but better. the only real advantage of an uzi is that you could fit one under your coat when protecting the president
>>64762947or if you want to gun down the mother of your enemy.
>>64762947that's probably why the micro/mini uzi came to be. They saw what the uzi excelled at and pushed that out til they had a pdw made specifically for magdumping
>>64762736It just werks.
>>64762936They're actually really accurate, like surprisingly so, for a 9mm stamped steel gun. You can easily do paper plate targets at 100m.200m on man size targets are still reasonable, albeit probably not very effective.They've got 10 inch barrels fixed tightly in place, and a long sight radius.
Well here in Finland we have this place called Uzi river :D
Obsolete and extra heavy, today.
