IMI Uzi, 9×19mm

IMI Uzi, 9×19mm Parabellum (Israel, 1967-2004) The Uzi – named after its inventor, Uziel Gal – was the foundation of the Israeli small-arms industry. The original version, with a fixed wooden stock, appeared in 1955. IMI produced more than two million. It was also license-made in Belgium and South Africa, and copied in Burma, China, and Croatia. Armies and police forces worldwide adopted the Uzi; the U.S. Secret Service used it from 1967 until the 1990s.

At just over 2' with its wooden stock, the Uzi was compact: Wt. 9, Bulk -4. From 1967, the standard version (in table) had a folding stock. The weapon was less than 18" long with the stock folded. If fired one-handed this way: ST 11, Rcl 3.

The Uzi's original magazine took 25 rounds, but 32-round ($29, 1.3 lbs.) and 20-round ($28, 0.9 lb.) versions soon appeared. Its threaded muzzle could be fitted with a 1-lb. baffle suppressor (-2 to Hearing, -1 Bulk). The gun also accepted a scarce 0.5-lb. knife bayonet (-2 to Spear skill, Reach 1).

The Uzi was available in .45 ACP (1987-1998) as well: Dmg 2d+1 pi+, Range 150/1,700, Wt. 8.9/1.2, RoF 8, Shots 16. A 20-round magazine weighed 1.4 lbs.

A semiautomatic Uzi Carbine (1980-2004), with a 16" barrel, was for sale in the U.S.: Dmg 3d pi, Acc 4, Range 200/2,200, Wt. 9.5/1.1, RoF 3, Shots 25+1(3), Bulk -5*, Cost $1,000, LC3.

The Mini-Uzi (1980-), designed for vehicle crews and commandos, is only 14" long with stock folded: Dmg 2d+2 pi, Wt. 7/1.1, RoF 15, Cost $900.

The Micro-Uzi (1982-) is even smaller, at 10" with stock folded: Dmg 2d+2 pi, Range 160/1,800, Wt. 5.2/0.9, RoF 28, Shots 20(3), ST 7†, Bulk -3*, Cost $900. If fired one-handed with stock folded: Acc 2, ST 8, Rcl 3.

The Uzi Pistol (1983-1994) was a stockless semiautomatic variant of the Micro-Uzi: Dmg 2d+2 pi, Acc 2, Range 160/1,800, Wt. 4.7/0.9, RoF 3, Shots 20+1(3), ST 10, Bulk -2, Cost $900, LC3.
