This video focuses on the 9mm Micro Uzi submachine gun, detailing its history and design. The Uzi is an Israeli open-bolt, blowback-operated submachine gun, with smaller variants classified as machine pistols. Its innovative telescoping bolt design allows the magazine to be stored in the pistol grip, enabling a shorter weapon profile. Designed by Major Uziel Gal in the late 1940s, the prototype was completed in 1950 and introduced to IDF special forces in 1954. The Uzi has been widely exported, manufactured by various companies, and was a dominant submachine gun in military and police markets from the 1960s to the 1980s.
