Real-World Background: The new, independent state of Israel needs way to give its troops a lot of protection in a small package, and that firepower will come in the form of the UZI submachine gun. Made right around the same time as the AK-47, the UZI affected the submachine gun world arguably as much as the Kalashnikov did the AR world. There have been countless copies of this famous SMG, as well as a number of operational forces adopting the gun itself. The United States Secret Service, in fact, used this pocket-sized power for a number of years, with its most famous use being to deter the 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. Again, just like the AK, the UZI has lasted right into the 21st century, a testament to its rugged design and excellent career as an SMG.

Notes for Usage: Given short range, rounds on target is what this SMG banks on. Low damage, low accuracy, and high rate of fire. The iron sights are just awful for this gun, requiring more instinctual shooting than actually looking down the sight. The clip will run you most engagements, but frequent reloads are advised. Full auto is the main tactic with this gun, but should you need to engage targets outside of close range, burst.

Optics: The iron sight's are awful, and unless you plan on nothing but hip-firing, use an RDS. ACOG might suit certain players, bringing the enemy right up close, but it doesn't necessarily give you range benefits.

Prime Environment: Close Quarters (Example: Base 2 on Arica Harbor)
