UZI Submachine Gun

Israeli Military Industries UZI Submachine Gun, ca. 1985: The UZI SMG (Sub Machine Gun) is the original and senior member of the UZI family. This revolutionary sub machine gun was the first to introduce design features that later found their way into many other guns. The UZI's angular body is made from pressed steel parts. The UZI uses a unique blowback mechanism with a bolt that wraps around the end of the barrel. Empty cases are ejected through slots in the body. This unique design is the key to achieving a combination of firepower and compact dimensions.
