Uzi - Black Ops Multiplayer Weapon Guide

Facebook: http://facebook.com/XboxAhoy Twitter: http://twitter.com/xboxahoy In this episode we're covering the fifth SMG, the Uzi. It's a fully automatic weapon, unlocked at level 23. Like the Galil, it's an Israeli weapon, manufactured by Israel Military Industries, or IMI. The weapon is as old as the State of Israel itself - with the design dating to 1948. The Uzi takes its name from its designer - Major Uziel Gal of the IDF. Largely thanks to the Uzi's simple construction and low production cost, in 1951, the weapon was adopted by the Israeli Defense Force. It found its way into the hands of IDF Special Forces by 1954, where its compact size and automatic firepower made it ideal for clearing bunkers and entrenched positions. The weapon would go on to see a half-decade of reliable service, and a number of variants: such as chamberings for .45 ACP, .41 Action Express - and the scaled-down Mini-Uzi and Micro Uzi models - with their diminutive size enhancing concealability and with an increased cyclic rate of fire when compared to the parent SMG. The Uzi remained in service with the IDF until late 2003, when its role was ultimately replaced by the Micro Tavor, or MTAR-21. The Uzi fires the 9-by-19 millimetre Parabellum cartridge - fairly typical for an SMG of its era. Magazines are of a standard box type, manufactured in capacities between 20 and 50 rounds - in Black Ops default magazines are of a 32-round capacity. The Uzi is a low damage SMG, typically needing 4 shots to kill at a close range, and 5 at a distance. Mercifully, rate of fire is high - at 937.5 rounds per minute, on par with most of the low-damage SMGs. Perhaps the most notable feature of the Uzi is its heavy recoil - it suffers from the highest degree of kick in the SMG category by quite some margin. Paired with its rather obtrusive iron sights, the Uzi has a reputation of being tough to handle that serves to make it an unpopular choice. Aim time is qu
