Uzi - Black Ops Multiplayer Weapon Guide

Facebook: / xboxahoy
Twitter: / 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 quick, however - like the other SMGs, aiming down your sights will take 200 milliseconds.
Reloads are fairly average in duration, taking 2.4 seconds to complete - although the favourable magazine size means reloading is less frequent overall than with some of the weapons in the Uzi's class.
The Uzi, then, is a weapon with a whole host of negative traits - but, some of the attachments on offer can help remedy its performance issues.
The iron sights on the Uzi are arguably the most obstructive of any weapon, and as such will hamper your efforts to quickly acquire a target, and can make the sizable recoil difficult to control.
With 48 rounds between reloads, the Uzi has some of the best sustained fire capability in the SMG category.
High capacity and a high rate of fire means that this firepower is effective from the hip, and you'll have the capacity to tackle multiple enemies at once.
Getting close to your enemy is essential, but it's important to avoid head-on firefights with larger groups of enemies - 2 or 3 alert foes with a FAMAS in-hand will prove tough to beat in a straightforward firefight.
Flanking your opponent becomes essential to make good use of the Uzi, then - break away from your team-mates and take the long route to strike unseen instead.
The Uzi is a weapon that's tough to master - but one that leads its class in capacity.
Paired with a generous fire rate and effective hipfire performance, 48 rounds will go a long way in a close-range firefight, reducing the odds that you'll be left high and dry, with a need to reload.
The spectacular level of recoil puts many off however, doubly so when paired with perhaps the worst iron sights in-game.
Those extra few rounds seem like a scant benefit when compared to these downsides, when there are alternatives that handle much better with equivalent damage output.
However, in practical terms these downsides are exaggerated - whilst fearsome at first, the Uzi's recoil isn't a factor within your effective range, and can be tamed to a degree with careful use of the trigger.
This weapon can be challenging to use - but become acquainted with its quirks, and performing well - will be Uzi.

[@andrewboyle2125]

Just noticed that the Reflex Site (at 9:09) gives you a field of view diameter of 4 cms, 1 cm larger than the Red Dot Site's 3 cms (at 3:01). This is one of the few times the Reflex's view is actually less cluttered than the RDS and allows for more peripheral awareness around the dot itself. The Reflex Warlorded with Grip or Silencer could be pleasant little combinations...

[@weakestlink20]

+Michael Henriquez Doesn't matter if you can do well with the Uzi, it just can't compare to the MPL nor the Spectre. It has no big advantage against them.

[@michaelhenriquez2650]

weakestlink20 not if you're fucking stupid it wont, and believe me i have beaten people with those two guns while using the Uzi.

[@weakestlink20]

Michael Henriquez If you're so confident in the Uzi's power, then answer this: outside of having a 48 round magazine with Extended Mags, what statistically justifies the Uzi's usage over the MPL or Spectre?

[@michaelhenriquez2650]

stealth and surprise up close in personal go for 1v1s dont go for multiples unless you got the jump on them and your teamates are supporting fire speaking of which the uzi is also a good support weapon with other teamates fire. hows that for you or so you need more.

[@weakestlink20]

Michael Henriquez Those are just general strategies you can use with any SMG, not just the Uzi. Anybody can win a surprise 1v1 with any SMG if their aim is true (even Dual Wield SMG's), and if you want a support weapon, the Spectre pretty much plays the exact same role, or any role the Uzi can play for that matter, except with much better accuracy. The only way I think you could ever value the Uzi over the Spectre is if you truly need an extra 8 starting rounds in your starting ammo loadout, which is exceedingly rare. I remain unconvinced from your arguments. Unless you have an actual *statistical* reason as to why the Uzi should be used au lieu of the MPL or Spectre, I'll believe you don't actually have one.

[@Box0rz]

It's actually good that you still make these BO weapon guides. Last time I checked, Black Ops had just as much players online as MW3!

[@andreizedlav7303]

+Tony O'Neill I don't think you know what mediocre means if you're calling something "painfully mediocre". The Mac 11 wasn't bad but the magazine gimped it hard.

[@prowler247365]

R Roy they were a sovereign state before Israel formed

[@Zimeroy]

prowler247365 that's bullshit and very untrue... check wikipedia they were never a sovereign state.

[@prowler247365]

wikipedia where anyone regardless of credentials can change it, ya that explanes alot

[@TheSeriousPain]

prowler247365 Arabs, those who call themselves "Palestinians", have nothing to do with the Palestine that existed there before other then simply living in the territory, that older Palestine belonged to Brits after they took it from the Ottomans. Originally it was just the name Romans gave this area, naming it after the Philistines who were an European nation who invaded parts of the area and adopted parts of local (Canaanite) culture, language and religion. What today we refer to as Palestine came to existence the day Jews got their land back when some local Arabs decided they also want their own land, even tho before that they were fine sharing the land with Romans, Turks, Jews and many others. Not anyone on Wikipedia can simply change anything in it, there are reasons why so many people trust it, and if you don't trust Wikipedia there are many other sources you can go to to read about it.

[@Aldo182]

The Uzi is actually really effective with rapid-fire and steady aim if you adopt a shotgun mentality and only engage at close range. Basically if your far enough away from them to require aiming down sight you are completely outclassed by practically every other primary however if your up close with a steady aim rapid fire Uzi you surprisingly outclass quite a few of the other primaries.(Shotguns excluded obviously).
