A submachinegun manufactured by Israeli Military Industries, chambered in the 9x19mm parabellum cartridge. Variants include the Mini- and Micro-Uzis.

A compact 9x19mm caliber submachine gun developed in 1953 by Isreali Military Industries. Variants include the Mini-Uzi, the Micro-Uzi, and the semi automatic-only Uzi Pistol.

The Uzi is a selective-fire, open-bolt, submachinegun manufactured by IMI of Israel. It is large, extremely heavy, and notoriously inaccurate on full auto -- however, it is also extremely reliable, easy to strip down, and has a slow cyclic rate (approx 650 rpm), making it ideal for the non-combatants to whom it is currently issued (clerks, school teachers, rabbis, private citizens of Israel). It is considered obsolete for military or law enforcement purposes. Many journalists and gangstas confuse the Uzi with inferior weapons, such as the TEC-9 or MAC-10 pistol -- which typically are not even fully automatic. Nearly all Uzis are 9mm parabellum, but conversion kits are available for other calibers as well.

When a man shoots his jizz from his cock across several bitches, as if doing a drive-by with an Uzi (except the bullets are jizz, the Uzi is his cock. The bitches are still bitches).
