    The Uzi design was inspired by a Czechoslovakian design called ZK-476. It was a rival to the Sa vz. 23 which lost it out during trials.

      To me, that is what makes the Wild Geese so good. It would've been easy just to make a straight action flick, but then you put in a South African white guy and a black African leader in the middle of it for tension. They started off disliking each other, and ended up as brothers. Someone always chops onions in the room when I watch this movie.

      Admittedly, I will, on occasion, operate the M-U's with one in each hand. The accuracy remains about the same (as if being used w/ both hands) thanks to the Six Million Dollar Man style bionic arms that make up part of my superpowers.

    @kmorris180 2 роки тому +23

    The Uzi is a great close quarters weapon. I've never had the thumb safety slip on one. I suppose if it were improperly assembled it could. As far as being easy to convert the automatic. The model A is fairly simple. A registered auto sear and a $200 permission slip from the batfe is about it. The 10,5" standard barrel length is great for ranges out to about 350 meters. The 16,25" civilian model really milks the last bit of power out of the round. I've spent many years with the Uzi and have it as my rucksack weapon. The barrel takes only a few seconds to tighten in place and with a folding stock it turns into a very manageable weapon. Uziel Gal truly was a blessing. Most folks don't know that he spent time in prison for carrying a concealed weapon. Thanks for the awesome video.

      I heard jokes about the gun, I think it had a special name I can't remember. I think it was smething along the lines of "tankers grenade". Usually used in tanks because of their compact size, the joke was that a loaded gun thrown into a window of a builing would clean the room by accidental discharges, similar to a grenade.

    One thing about the military/full auto version of the Uzi for sale in the US, technically speaking, it isn't illegal to buy, it's just difficult. Any fully automatic gun is available for sale in the US, it just has to have been made by 1986. But you wouldn't find them in a typical gun store and you have to jump through a few extra hoops with the ATF and payu for a $200 tas xtamp. Because of the 1986 restriction, fully automatic firearms are limited in number and are pretty expensive as a result as well. But in 1984, Arnie, as the Terminator, technically should have been able to buy a full auto UZI, I'm just not sure that many gun stores would have carried them.

    I always think of UZIs as gangster weapon. Mainly because of movie depiction but logically, they are light and concealable; perfect for hit-and-run drive-by shooting.
    I’ve also seen movies where gangs outside the US use UZIs. I’ve only seen used by Chinese/Hong Kong Triads and maybe Japanese Yakuza.
    I also noticed the current US military alone rarely use submachine guns, if they do, they’re probably for specific missions take place inside buildings or jungles. My guess is with the standard use of carbines; smaller and lighter than traditional rifles but still fire the same powerful rifle rounds.

      The last place I lived before I took off for California was Cicero, IL, famed for Al Capone and racism. There was a drug dealer at the end of my block, he'd park his car in an alleyside driveway with the trunk open and sit next to it in a lawnchair, cooler at his side.
      He was 17, a cousin of kids I knew well, and he recognized me from those days. I got embroiled in a conversation he struck up and he proudly showed off the full military Uzi he kept in the open trunk. His up-supplier had given it to him as a bonus. I made sure never to walk that route again.

      @@patriotenfield3276 They experimented with quite a few MPs back in the late 50s/early 60s. Some police forces used Walter TMP for a time. All except the BW went MP5 later, by the 1980s only tze army had Uzi. Not a bad gun but with conscripts the SA80 approach of "one system for all" is better.

      Die Uzi, war und ist eine Schrottwaffe, da wir während meiner BW Zeit, anfang der 80er Jahre auch mit Polizeikräfte zusammen auf dem Schießplatz waren, und diese meistens Neidvoll auf unsere Verpflegung schauten, da Sie so etwas nicht hatten, aber großen Kohldampf, hat der Spieß oft einen kleinen Deal gemacht. Sie konnten bei uns Mitessen, und wir also das Unteroffizierkorps mit Ihren HK MP-5 und unserer Munition schießen. Die Heckler &Koch, war im Gegensatz zur Uzi eine absolute Präzisionswaffe, leicht zu bedienen und tragen, die hätten wir auch gerne gehabt.

      @@ag2938 I would not call the Uzi a bad weapon, it did exactly the job it was build for. It just was a bad choice for the west german army. And that's because they used the G3 as a rif,e back then so the MP5 would have reduced needed training time/allowed for more time spend on what was in operation, cleqning, imediate action, safety etc basically one weapom. Always a good idea in a conscript army.

    It´s still popular in Hollywood, Colin Farrell is packing a micro Uzi in the latest Batman movie and it was very popular in Hong Kong action cinema of the 80´s/90´s, specially in all the John Woo movies, where Chow Yun-fat was mowing down hordes of bad guys, with mini Uzis.
    In real life though, the HK MP-5 proved to be better suited for military comando & tactical law enforcement units.

    @4:08 This whole time, I had no idea that the old arcade video game “Operation: Thunder Bolt” was essentially based off true to life events. I mean, I have been familiar with the Entebbe Raid in Uganda, but never put the two together. That game was an absolutely awesome upgraded sequel to the first game like it “Operation: Wolf”. The first game had a full size Uzi and only one player. The sequel had mini Uzis, was two player simultaneous gameplay, and arguably much more difficult to complete the game; it wasn’t one of those machines where all you had to do was pump it full of quarters and you’d eventually win. No, you had to kill the last terrorist AND safely free the pilot he was using as human shield, or you’d end up stuck there unable to take off to safety.
