The UZI submachine gun was developed in Israel by designer Uziel Gal in around1949, and manufactured by IMI (now IWI Ltd) since about 1951. UZI had been adopted by police and military of more than 90 countries, including Israel (now only in reserve), Germany, Belgium. It was also produced under license in Belgium by FN Herstal, and without license - in Croatia. More compact versions, Mini and Micro UZI,which were developed in 1982 and 1983, respectively, are adopted by many police, special operations and security units around the world, including Israeli Isayeret, US Secret Service etc.
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 Micro-Uzi has an additional weight, made from tungsten, attached to the bolt, to slightly slowdown the overly excessive rate of fire. The cocking handle is located at the to pof the receiver cover, and does not move when gun is fired; the cocking handle slot is covered by sliding dust cover. Bolt handle is cut at the middle to provide a sighting channel. Gun is fitted with manual safety /fire selector, located on the left side of the grip, plus automatic grip safety at the rear.<ref name= "wiki">[[wikipedia:Uzi|Wikipedia entry on Micro Uzi]]</ref>
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>
