9 mm UZI Sub-machine Gun

The 9 mm UZI sub-machine gun was developed by an Israeli army officer during the early 1050’s.  The design seems to have been influenced by the Czech M-23 sub-machine gun.  However, the UZI has several novel features for a sub-machine gun:  A bayonet and a spigot type grenade launcher.  The UZI is considered to be an extremely reliable weapon.
