Background
The Uzi submachine gun, commonly referred to as the Uzi SMG, is a popular firearm known for its compact design and reliability. It was first developed in Israel in the 1950s and quickly gained popularity among military and law enforcement units worldwide.
The Uzi SMG is often favored for its ease of use and low recoil, making it a popular choice for close-quarter combat situations. Its compact size also makes it ideal for use in urban environments or tight spaces where larger firearms may not be practical.
Overall, the Uzi SMG and its receiver have become iconic symbols of firearms design and have been widely used by military and law enforcement units around the world.
Design
The Uzi submachine gun uses an open-bolt, blowback-operated design that is similar to other submachine guns such as the Sa 26 series. The open bolt design helps with cooling during continuous firing, but can make the gun more susceptible to dirt and sand. The Uzi uses a telescoping bolt design that allows the barrel to move further back into the receiver and the magazine to be housed in the pistol grip. This makes the weapon shorter and better balanced.
The Uzi is made primarily from stamped sheet metal, which makes it less expensive to manufacture than other designs made from forgings. It has relatively few moving parts, making it easy to maintain and repair. The magazine is housed in the pistol grip, which makes it easy to reload in dark or difficult conditions. The pistol grip also has a grip safety to prevent accidental firing. However, the vertical magazine can make it awkward to fire when prone. The Uzi also features a bayonet lug.
