It uses the 32-round magazine as standard, but can use any 9mm Uzi-interface magazine of 25 rounds or larger. The Strojnica Mini ERO is a clone of the Micro Uzi; it differs in that it had a heavy-gauge folding wire stock like the Skorpion Machine Pistol. It weighs 2.2 kilograms (4.9 lb) unloaded and is 545.5 millimetres (21.48 in) overall with ...
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.
The magazine well was designed to accept a direct copy of the Uzi magazine. This type of double-stack, staggered-feed type magazine is considered one of the improvements this gun has in comparison to the original STEN gun or similar ones that used double-stack, single-feed magazines, that are often more prone to jamming and harder to load.
Chiefly, it uses common 32-round Uzi magazines, an HK Navy style composite trigger group, an AR-style front sight and an HK-style rear drum sight. Further it eschews the early Lusa symmetrical charging handle for a left side cocking handle which can lock the bolt to the rear and be "slapped" forward to release, similar to the MP5 and HK91 .
Two 30 round AR-15 magazines coupled together, for example, is often a cheaper and more reliable alterative to a 60-round drum magazine, especially for applications such as home defense. However, jungle style magazines can often be impractical as it exposes the rounds and feed lips to foreign objects like mud and dirt which can cause malfunctions.
The Israeli UZI sub-machinegun was taken as a basis, and several technical solutions of such weapon were outright adopted, including the telescoping bolt (already in use in another Italian sub-machinegun, the Beretta PM-12), the safety/fire selector switch and the grip safety, and housing of the magazine in the pistol grip. However, SOCIMI ...
It essentially failed as both a civilian product as well as a military one, the South African Defence Force using either the Israeli Uzi or the locally South African produced Milkor BXP submachine gun. Dogged by unreliability, legislative restrictions on licences and being no more than a heavy semi-auto pistol, the Sanna-77 was a commercial ...
Despite having a vertical magazine well (designed to accept 32-round staggered-feed direct copy of UZI magazine, rather than original single-feed Sten-type magazine), analogies with the Sten include a striking resemblance in the barrel assembly and in the bolt and recoil spring. In addition, this gun also fires from an open bolt, and is further ...
