The | The Uzi is an Israeli open-bolt blowback-operated submachine gun, and is part of a family of firearms that also includes the Mini Uzi and Micro Uzi machine pistols. The Uzi was one of the first weapons to use a telescoping bolt design, which allows the magazine to be housed in the pistol grip, making for a shorter and more compact weapon. | ||
The | The original UZI submachine gun was developed by Major Uziel Gal of the Israeli Defense Forces around 1949, shortly after the establishment of the State of Israel. The first prototype was completed in 1950, and was submitted for military testing and evaluation. Gal's design was selected over other designs due to its simplicity of operation and manufacture. The Uzi would be formally adopted in 1951, and would be introduced to IDF forces three years later. | ||
| design = | The Uzi is a blowback-operated firearm, like many submachine guns, and fires from an open bolt. The open bolt design exposes the breech end of the barrel, and improves cooling during periods of continuous fire. However, it means that since the bolt is held to the rear when cocked, the receiver is more susceptible to contamination from sand and dirt. It uses a telescoping bolt design, in which the bolt wraps around the breech end of the barrel. This allows the barrel to be moved far back into the receiver and the magazine to be housed in the pistol grip, allowing for a better-balanced weapon. The pistol grip is fitted with a grip safety, making it difficult to fire the weapon accidentally. However, the protruding vertical magazine makes the gun awkward to fire when prone. The Uzi is constructed primarily from stamped sheet metal, making it less expensive per unit to manufacture than an equivalent design machined from forgings. A non-reciprocating charging handle is located on the top of the receiver, similar to early Thompson models. With relatively few moving parts, the Uzi is easy to strip for maintenance or repair.<ref name = "uzi wiki">[[wikipedia:Uzi|Wikipedia entry on the Uzi]]</ref> | ||
