Discuter:Uzi
Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.
There are several smaller variants of the Uzi SMG:
- Mini Uzi, 360 mm (14.17 in) long and basically a scaled-down version of the Uzi. It comes with a side-folding stock and retains a small forward handgrip.
- Micro Uzi, at only 250 mm (9.84 in) in length barely larger than a standard pistol and about as small as the original Uzi design could be made. It fires from a closed bolt position and has a side-folding stock similar to the one on the Mini. The forward handgrip is completely eliminated.
- Para Micro Uzi, designed specially for counter terror units. It was recently developed by the IMI and is in use by Israeli counter-terror units such as the YAMAM. It has a side-mounted charging handle, a provision which makes room for top and bottom-mounted Picatinny rails. It has an angled pistol-grip to accommodate a 33-round GLOCK 18 magazine.
- Uzi Pistol, a semi-automatic version of the Micro developed for sale in countries where the civilian ownership of automatic weapons is restricted, such as in the United States. Externally, it is distinguished by not having a stock or a recoil compensator.
Those variants are still in use by many special forces and law enforcement agencies in the world - including in Israel and the United States.
- The unrelated but similar Ingram MAC-10 is often dubbed the "American Uzi".
