The Uzi Submachine Gun Is Back And Ready to Spray Some Lead
The original Uzi may have been developed 65 years ago, and while at the age of retirement, the latest Uzi PRO is truly the Israel SMG for the needs of the 21st century.
In the late 1940s, shortly after the establishment of the State of Israel, Major Uziel Uzi Gal began the development of a revolutionary submachine gun (SMG). Introduced to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Special Forces in 1954 and placed into general use with the Israeli military two years later, the Uzi was a blowback-operated weapon that fired from an open bolt.
