@@olisk-jy9rz ? You seem rather knowledgeable about my life. Do tell me more

Oof size large

@@stephen9381 not sure what you mean? The Uzzi was of simplistic design with one moving part, (apart from the trigger group) which tended to slide backward and forward in the receiver with boring regularity as long as it was lubricated and not stuffed full of sand or other unwanted material, which would cause just about any firearm I know of to have some reliability issues, therefore you can hardly blame the Uzzi for it. Some magazine related stoppages occurred but it was avoidable as long as old worn magazines were not used. Some ammo-related stoppages did occur as well, but the SMG itself never really let me down.

@@losonsrenoster I think he's referring to olisk. You sure burned him on that one.

@@losonsrenoster Claims to have never experienced a stoppage. Then proceeds to list a bunch of stoppages 🤷‍♂️

@@mike62mcmanus tends to work best when someone is shooting at you.....

cant you carry it with the mag, uncocked? id imagine cocking can be done faster than reloading from a mag in your pocket, and an uncocked open bolt should be pretty safe.

Uhm, orders are orders!​@@Almostbakerzero

@@Almostbakerzero afaik there was the fear that you could accidentally chamber and fire if you dropped it.

@@uffia.6817 I understand, I'm just curious about the mechanical aspect. I guess that maybe the safety can not lock the bolt in place while uncocked, but only lock it in the cocked position? That would mean when dropping the gun, the bolt could move just enough to chamber and fire a round without ever getting to the cocked and locked position. Or maybe they assumed that, if they allow the magazine inside, there will always be a dumbass who still cocks the gun.

@@Almostbakerzero Sorry, I don't know the answer, as a mere conscript I got taught to fire and clean various weapons but little about their intrinsic mechanics. When cleaning we were not allowed to dismantle certain sub-assemblies like triggers, safety or breechblock, that was the job of specialists.

Hahaha hilarious

I had the best and biggest toy gun collection on my block when I was a kid. Everyone came to my house to "play guns" I would always take 1st pick. Usually some type of machine gun and a pistol or 2. Then everyone else would pick. We boys would spend hours in our war games some days. I was in the toy gun section at the store a while back. Getting a birthday present for one of the grandkids. A young man and his mom came walking by. He was eyeballing the assorted weapons and pointed to one he really liked. His mom quickly said "You know we don't buy those things!". He dropped his finger and the excitement left his face as she walked him out of the isle. I wanted to buy him a toy gun myself. I'm sure she got him something "nonviolent". Like a doll or a dress. Poor little guy!

**pretends i don't have an attic filled with realistic gel blasters** Yeah, those days were whimsical..... Joke aside, i wish i could own a real steel one

@@shadowwolf7622 My best friend between the ages of 7 and 10 years old (circa 1978 - 81) had a toy* MP-40 Schmiesser and I had a pair of Lugers, (amongst several other guns - beautiful Colt Dragoon with revolving chamber was a favourite) all of which were metal and took caps - fantastic quality toys. I'll never forget racing at full tilt round to his house after dinner so that I could claim the MP-40, before playing till dark through the gardens and back lanes (alleys). He was very good at sharing the MP-40 while he took my M-16 (not as good quality as his - lots of plastic). Great times wielding an MP-40 with a Luger sidearm while he had my period correct M-16 and Colt Dragoon. I'd love to be transported back for a couple of hours of complete escapism. *Toys, but beautifully made - being a little boy at the time I've no idea how accurately made they were, but there was some effort made - removable magazines on the M-16 and MP-40 and the Lugers had moving toggles. Wonderful.

@@shadowwolf7622 On the subject of kids not being able to play with guns - I don't understand what these parents think they are achieving. It's quite easy to argue that kids, (we'll say boys because it's usually boys) are going to end up more psychologically damaged, (for want of a better word) by being denied a toy, (and play experience) while the parents attempt to come up with a coherent reason for denying him. It's not like saying, "sorry, we can't afford that" or some other reason that the kid should be able to grasp - there's really nothing that you could say that would make sense to a child. When I was a young boy everyone played with toy guns......and bows & arrows, and catapults/slingshots, and rode bikes, climbed trees, made rope swings, disappeared for hours on end, and we definitely didn't all grow up to become violent or dysfunctional adults. It's kinda sad that kids imaginations are being manipulated by parents who'd rather see them glued to a tablet in a stuffy room, rather than seeing them out exploring.....possibly even getting hurt - the horror! I know exactly how this comment reads, but I can only imagine that the little boy being told that he can't have a gun will only end up full of resentment for his over-protective, mollycoddling, pain in the arse parents, and the parents will end up surprised at how it happened.

There's much about the world that is much worse than it was. I've got to many stories to even want to start ... I will say one thing though - parents denying their child something they really want - make that thing precious - and by doing so - often produce exactly the opposite result of what they intended. .

Both are simple open bolt guns, but they’re very different inside.

@@MichaelEdelman1954 Correct. The Uzi had a telescoping bolt and a mag well in the pistol grip for a more compact weapon.

*M3 grease gun

They actually carried them in a briefcase - in the full photo you can see the briefcase on the floor. The secret service agent in the foreground is trying to pull out the stock. He was called Robert Wanko, which was a memorable name.

A he still got shot lol

It looked like one of them were having a hard time getting the stock unfolded

Didn't do either of them much good against the lone off-radar nutter with a .22, did it?

Was that the mini uzi or full size?

And then him pausing when he runs out, talking about how well the gun performs while leisurely reloading amidst people trying to gun him down.

Hilarious

I'm inspired now... hold my coffee.

Or a poster

Als shot these when i was in the army. There were a few that would automatically switch from single shot to PRRRRRRR after 2 or 3 rounds.

We used it on 50 meters in the German army(early 90s) after the 3rd shooter we where no longer able to cover the 10. We just counted the misses from that point onward. There weren't many anyways.

@@spraynpray They jam more on truncated 9mm rounds. The smooth ones dont jam as much.

What perks are you using and what's your K/D?

@@MrUnderdogArt 14 k/d. Ghost, fast hands and juggernaut.

@@MrSpirit99 I shot with the UZI 1988, no recoil, good hit rate, but very unreliable safety mechanics. Drop it, and it will fire.

I shot the MAC10, UZI, and the MP5 at a range in Georgia in the mid 80s. Hands down: the MP5. The UZI was friendly, the MAC10 was a 9mm pipe wrench, and the MP5 was a dream. This was shortly after the SAS took down terrorists with it. MP5 was king.

The MP5 is way better. It has a functional stock and way better ergonomics. Vertical pistol grips are ridiculous

BertNL klopt. De Kolonel Palmkazerne. We hadden Soesterberg ook nog in de buurt met de Leuderheide.

When do you were in the Dutch army? Because I have an old Dutch steel helmet (those modeled after the American M1) that I bought at a flee market in Ostfriesland. Did you still wear one of those helmets?

@BertNL It was in Aurich. At first I thought it was a German helmet because the Bundeswehr had these kind of helmet shells for a while as well and it says "J. VIEL" (wich could be a German name) on the leather sweatband, but the guy who sold me the helmet told me it is Dutch and that matches with the liner and chinstrap design. It also has Hessian fabrik under the cover net and a rubner band that is cut from a tire wich apparently was a widespread practice in the Dutch army at the time.

Which army?

@@matarinio6412 Dutch.

Nice to hear that. There is a sadness to the Israel's need for cutting edge weapons. Without them and a professional, determined, well equipped and well trained army, this tiny country would cease to exist.

I honestly curious. U talk about it good part of uzi. Is it no bad things from it? And please not because something related to bullet caliber thing, 5.56 are obviously superior than 9mm in terms of performance

@@fadhli179 I feel that it's good at what it does. You're right it's not meant to be an open field rifle like an AK or AR. It's more of a close to medium range weapon I think meant more for the tighter urban spaces, more than a pistol, less than a full sized rifle. As far as bad things about it? It's a bit heavy for its size. I think the bolt carrier is something like 2 pounds, like a brick of steel. I heard they did that to slow down the rate of fire.

@@shevetlevi2821 thx 4 reply. I was having a question in mind, with military now employing carbine rifle, will it replace uzi role as urbanized combat weapon? I was wondering is it because of controllability if uzi make this gun are an option, or is there some point i am missing completely.

@@fadhli179 Just to be transparent I'm not an expert I've just had experience with the Uzi and other military weapons. I think that armies are finding with carbines, especially with collapsible and folding stocks like the M4, Galil and certainly bullpup configurations like the Tavor that they can have the best of both worlds; they can approach the small size of a submachine pistol like the Uzi or HK MP5 but have a full power cartridge where as you noted the 5.56 is ballistically far superior to the 9mm. My guess is that the submachine pistols will still see some use in police departments or security details.

@@SeeYouInValhalla615 I think we agree that the Uzi is very versatile and rugged. And for what you did as crew on a recon tank you'd want something compact like that in the close quarters of a tank or armored vehicle.

Uzi's don't use clips .

@@olisk-jy9rz doesnt matter

You mean John Woo style

@@Dirtbag-Hyena when you hold it gangsta style, you call it a clip to stay in character. Shooting it correctly, it becomes a magazine

Hollywood seems to prefer three magazine types: 5,000 round, 10,000 round, and infinite. I love it when they shoot full auto for about five minutes and then suddenly they’re out of ammo… how do they get all those bullets in that little mag??

kunicross shooting at the Germans?

Uzi as a grenade? So you take a malfunctioning Uzi, trigger it, and throw it at the enemy?

If you’re grenading it you have to do the two hand heave like you would toss a German Shepherd at someone. If you can see that visual in your minds eye

I'm glad i never had to touch a Uzi after basic training. One exercise on the range was to shoot 10 rounds in 3 bursts (might misremember the actual numbers) and I managed to do 6 bursts. Not because I was a natural born shooter, but because the 30+ year old Uzi liked to jam.

Christopher Gebhard to be fair alot of weapons in basic training are worn to shit and treated terribly.

Anton Chigurh is it heavier than A silenced shot gun? how about a cattle stunner?

Bit late with the comment but anyways, My dad also told me a about using it in "dienst". He said they would only oil it when they were being watched, because without it the sand of the training grounds would be easier to shake out by just removing the magazine and using it to hit it a few times.

..Uzi or wife squealed? if Wife... ..give her the good ol' H&K G3 in 7.62 next time! She sounds ready :-)

Theres just something beautifully simple about a solid, open bolt SMG. It isnt light weight, nor the most accurate, but very enjoyable.

Not really. The Thompson, Grease, Sten, MP40 etc. were actually late 30s and early 40s type weapons. Hell, the Thompson and MP40 were actually 20s type weapons, that were just modified as time went on. The Uzi is an early 50s type weapon. That's a decade later. At that time new intermediate cartridges were coming into effect. No one really cared about SMGs anymore.

I think all of us lefites are handier with the right hand than righties with the left hand.

Even though the L85 is dogshit, the Brits had the right idea when they trained their lefties to shoot right handed. Standardization is important afterall.

I am intrigued, since the dominant eye IMHO remains the same

I am a lefty, used to be left eye dominant, now I don't have a dominant eye. Maybe because I don't shoot as much as I used to and I stare at the computer screen all the time.

+Mists and Shadows In the case of Kennedy in Dallas? At the airport we see the secret service agents be told to step down from the back of Kennedys vehicle and they protest with putting their arms in the air. LBJ had 2 Secret service men over him at the first shoot through Kennedys throat. Not a single Secret Service agent is near Kennedys limo. The driver of Kennedys Limo is doing the exact opposite to what they are trained to do? Instead of pulling down the throttle and get out of there at the first shoot the driver actually slows down. (Notice the red lights indicating the driver pull the breaks at the Zapruder film)

My Dad did national service in the mid-60s in a tank reconnaissance unit and was issued Uzis. They had the same technique! The idea being create lots of noise so that the others in the damaged tank could escape

An out of battery tends to ruin the cover for good. I used to believe that the grip safety blocked the sear up. Is it false? Because, if the safety blocks the sear up, it is not possible for the gun to fire once dropped.

Yeah, they're clearly a step up from the usual crap SMGs. I can't stand the MAC-10 but I love the Uzi.

@@jasoncarswell7458 one gun was meant for the field...the other couldn't pass muster...
