Uzi SMG Field Strip

The famous Uzi submachinegun is a brilliantly simple firearm that is straight blowback and fires from an open bolt. While it was not the first firearm to feature a telescoping bolt, it certainly took the concept and ran with it. The Uzi was an international sales success, and if you grew up in the 80s then you certainly remember seeing all the action heroes running around with one in their hands.
So what makes the Uzi tick?

I always loved how simple these are. They are even more simple then the AKM. If you want to increase the cyclic rate of your Uzi, you can put a buffer behind the recoil spring in the receiver. This will decrease the distance that the bolt will travel and increase the cyclic rate. If you go too far though, the firearm will not be able to strip the next round from the magazine.

[@tfbtv]

First. There, I beat everyone.

[@Deweyfd13]

Looks easy to work on. Are they accurate?

[@22megaton29]

Well congratufuckinlations

[@alexlowery3192]

Wait megaton what are you doing here XD

[@DudeNumberOnePlus]

Dang, you won again, how do you do this?

[@22megaton29]

firealarm man I have a lot of hobbies

[@sailingmaster]

A really great example of a design where maintaining the firearm was definitely thought out. Not overly complicated and easy to field strip, combined with rugged construction. Excellent weapon.

[@asafmedrano9124]

The AK of the Submachine guns

[@Grarder]

That was really cool to see! I've wanted to build one of these for a while in a closed bolt semi auto so thanks for showing the major components.

[@TheRussian13]

So beautifully simple

[@sksShadow1987]

i learned to handle the Uzi in about an hour during my time in the german airforce. after that i was able to field strip it blind and shooting it for the first time was even easier. a nice gun with a well earned reputation.

[@martinlatvian5538]

"I wish modern sub machine guns could do this" I like this qoute. When it comes with good firearms it is always easy to swap the barrel. It has to be more quick than changing Your socks.

[@ozarkbeararms3059]

The first Subgun I ever owned was an IMI Model A Uzi. Lord what a rabbit hole that thing ended up leading me down! I agree with you; i wish more modern SMG types had QC barrels too. It is just nice to be able to swap them out. Uzis are a must for any of us who grew up in the '80s hehe, cheers.

[@TheClampetts]

Nice, clean, simple, to-the point video with good info. Well done, with no extraneous chatter. Thanks

[@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

I remember it had 9 parts, had to clean them often... great weapon, always works, you can actually hit targets with it, if you know how to fire a bibi gun and hit something..

[@drashishmishra965]

simply awesome

[@Crim15]

2:06, you could just wedge something around a centimeter thick behind the operating/recoil rod plate and the rate of fire ramps up a bit..

[@irafowlerjr.7492]

big help, thanks

[@DrGun-re1kd]

Thanks for the great video. I remember years ago, I was working my part time gig for my town when the Secret Service came to town. They had mini Uzis in briefcases that they let us look at. I've always liked them, although I wouldn't give up my Carl Gustav m/45 for anything.

[@ogzumhan8619]

Nice watch bro love vintage watches 😍

[@zoti]

Do you own all this guns? That's quite a collection. I had an UZI for a bit in the IDF. They were so used that they will shoot full auto even on single.

[@bigbigmurphy]

+Zoti Dazoti I came across like that in Guam. XD.

[@prfwrx2497]

Oh well they're better off in party mode.

[@AmoebicMagician]

Is this one of the nitrided barrels I've seen floating around? They seem to be performing great!

[@holomovies6224]

Do a runngun with the uzi

[@williamward6596]

You should field strip a Winchester model 12

[@terryshockley871]

I don't care, so long as I can get my 1980's action movie goon action on then I am happy. Every good Goon knows how to take care of their weapon, that's how they appear for more than one scene.

[@MrGunman11]

The more affordable machine gun that one can get. lol I need one!

[@DrGun-re1kd]

+MrGunman11 S&W Model 76. A crude copy of Sweden's Carl Gustav m/45.

[@mikethemaniac1]

+MrGunman11 I remember in 2012, I was closing out my freshmen year in high school and I checked the prices, I could find uzis for $3,000. checked them yesterday, uzi's are now $14,000 for a transferable one.

[@MrGunman11]

mikethemaniac1 No kidding, I remember seeing their prices at about 6 - 8k two years ago...they're still not that bad....once they get into the 20k range then yeah lol.

[@bruno-mq6bg]

When was the Uzi made? And is there any similarity between the Uzi and the Mac-10?

[@DrGun-re1kd]

+Bigg B Beginning in the early 1950s. Mac 10 is kind of a POS by comparison. Parts often broke, making them rather unreliable bullet hoses.

[@bruno-mq6bg]

+Dr. Gun what is a pos?

[@DrGun-re1kd]

Bigg B A polite term for a "piece of shxt". Sorry, I should have been more clear.

[@bruno-mq6bg]

Dr. Gun ok thanks. For some reason I thought the MAC-10 was better because it was American.

[@DrGun-re1kd]

Bigg B No problem. I never mean to discourage other shooters or collectors. I should have been more specific. The MAC10 was uncontrollable without its designed suppressor, they relied too much on stampings, which at the time were poorly done, and resulted in many failures. The Uzi, though Israeli, was designed for a specific need, to arm second-tier troops, specialists, and settlers with a reliable automatic weapon, which was rugged, and reliable. It did its job perfectly, and other nations found it fit some need as well. The MAC was just the wrong gun for the wrong market, and poorly executed. I like American arms the best too, and that is what all of the ones I use regularly are.

[@BulbulaTor-bongbond]

🤔 Сколько примерно будет.

[@dominicivol5917]

why is there blue tape?

[@DrGun-re1kd]

+Dominic Ivol Mainly for marking off areas to be painted. It removes without leaving a mark. Do you know where "red tape" comes from?

[@MrDugbo171]

With a recoil buffer installed, the firing rate increases.

[@BarrettPvP]

this looks sum what similar to the WWII grease gun.

[@austinwheeler3679]

Not really though

[@jonathonthornton9941]

Where’s the firing pin and spring

[@couriersix7326]

firing pin is fixed to the bolt, and you can see the spring when he takes off the grip stick.

[@brandenconover6332]

can you name the country that made the uzi

[@nekokoneko84]

+Branden Conover Israel

[@brandenconover6332]

you are right

[@22megaton29]

Isranlenuricry

[@brandenconover6332]

? what dose that mean ?

[@jordanpeterson8471]

3rd?

[@rocksteel44]

...AUSGEZEICHNET!!!!!!!

[@luisespinoza1708]

crazy how his gun has no firing pin

[@DireAvenger001]

It’s fixed to the bolt face, milled on it

[@REPO831]

That grip safety is a problem... It sounds cool but it's a problem.

[@tfbtv]

I have owned this gun and another uzi for 5 years, and have 20,000 rounds or so through them. I have never had a problem with the grip safety.

[@REPO831]

When the shooter relaxes their hand, they disengage the grip safety enough to where it will drag on the bottom of the bolt and may cause a malfunction. Thats my point. As you said, it's a great gun but the said the problem can happen.

[@gi70st]

+REPO831 if you FAP more, your hands and wrists will be stronger and sexier.

[@avocares]

+gi70st Because of all the emails you are writing to ensure there is no bandwidth cap? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Access_Policy

[@Robin6512]

+REPO831 I ran around with an UZI for 6 years (army) and I never ever had aproblem with the safety grip. If you grip it to fire, it comes natural and will function without a flaw. dry, clean, dirty or wet.

[@annmariehughes6445]

These were used by the IRA
