The Uzi (/ ˈ uː z i / ⓘ; Hebrew: עוזי, romanized: Ūzi; officially cased as UZI) is a family of Israeli open-bolt, blowback-operated submachine guns and machine pistols first designed by Major Uziel "Uzi" Gal in the late 1940s, shortly after the establishment of the State of Israel.
The stock is tubular and sidefolding, departing from the complicated retractable design of the Israeli UZI; it pivots underneath the back side of the receiver and lies flat against the right side of the gun when folded. It is longer than the UZI stock (200 millimetres vs. 180), and results more comfortable to operate and to shoulder.
The gun's receiver was machined from a single circular steel tube. The design of the Sa 23 series submachine guns is most notable in the West for having inspired the open-bolt , blowback-operated , telescoping bolt design of the slightly later Uzi submachine gun.
The upper receiver is a steel tube and the barrel is held in place by the perforated barrel jacket. The lower receiver and magazine housing consists of sheet metal. The extended magazine well has a plastic hand guard and doubles as a forward grip. It has the Uzi submachine gun-type magazine interface and uses Uzi magazines, which are locally ...
While the original M10 was available chambered for either .45 ACP or 9mm, the M10 is part of a series of machine pistols, the others being the MAC-11/M-11A1, which is a scaled-down version of the M10 chambered in .380 ACP (9×17mm); and the M-11/9, which is a modified version of the M-11 with a longer receiver chambered in 9×19mm, later made ...
The UC-9, also known as the DEB M21, is a foldable submachine gun designed by Utah Connor in the mid 1970s. [2] Based on an Uzi 9mm and using unmodified Uzi magazines, the gun can be folded in half into a compact box design, with the initial production run styled to resemble contemporary portable transistor radios.
Receiver: 1911 based PDW FDM Deterrence Dispensed .45 ACP, 9×19mm Parabellum, .22 TCM: Utilizes a 1911 slide for the upper, and an AR-15 fire control group.
It superficially resembled the UZI, and incorporated the modern features first seen on the Czechoslovakian Sa vz. 23, such as an overhanging bolt, to reduce overall length. [2] The receiver was of stamped steel, with a square-section bolt riding on rails internally.
