History

 The Uzi (Hebrew: עוזי‎, officially cased as UZI) is a related family of open bolt, blowback-operated submachine guns. Smaller variants are considered to be machine pistols. The Uzi was one of the first weapons to use a telescoping bolt design which allows for the magazine to be housed in the pistol grip for a shorter weapon.

The first Uzi submachine gun was designed by Major Uziel Gal in the late 1940s. The prototype was finished in 1950; first introduced to IDF special forces in 1954, the weapon was placed into general issue two years later. The Uzi has found use as a personal defense weapon by rear-echelon troops, officers, artillery troops and tankers, as well as a frontline weapon by elite light infantry assault forces.

The Uzi has been exported to over 90 countries. Over its service lifetime, it has been manufactured by Israel Military Industries, FN Herstal, and other manufacturers. From the 1960s through the 1980s, Uzi submachine guns were sold to more military and police markets than any other submachine gun ever made

Singleplayer/Co-Op

The Uzi can be found in the level Payback, both lying on the ground, in the clearing that Mason lands the Hind and in the hands of a few Spetsnaz troops at the entrance to the POW compound.

 The Uzi does not appear in Zombie mode.

The Uzi performs exceptionally well at close range, especially while hipfiring, and/or adding a Grip. In most cases, it beats out the popular AK74u at close range. Because of its amazing hipfire abilities, Steady Aim is preferred, but Sleight of Hand is a good option with it too, as the reload is awkward and a little bit slow. Compared to other similar submachine-guns, the Uzi has a high magazine capacity, but also extremely high recoil (the most powerful recoil of any gun in the Multiplayer without grip). This recoil makes Rapid Fire a questionable choice on this gun but it can turn it into a even deadlier close range weapon.
A Red Dot Sight or a Reflex sight could also be a good choice, as the Iron sights can be very obstructive to many players. However, recoil with the Uzi is such that there is almost never any point to ADS, making any sort of sight attachment something of a waste. On the other hand, with Warlord, using a sight in conjunction with a grip can benefit greatly, eliminating higher recoil and obstructive iron-sights.

All in all, this weapon has a distinctly short range, even with a stock on. However, in its optimum range, it will be very difficult to take it down, as enough bullets escape the barrel before all the recoil jumps in to allow a shockingly fast kill.
