This RECOILtv episode dives into the Micro Uzi, a compact submachine gun with a high cyclic rate of 1250 RPM. Hosts Dave Merrill and Dave Rhoden explore its history, technical features like compensator ports, and demonstrate its intense full-auto performance. The review highlights the evolution from the original Uzi to smaller, faster-firing variants and compares its handling to a 'fire hose'.

Quick Summary

The Micro Uzi features compensator ports to manage its high rate of fire, which is 1250 RPM, significantly faster than the original Uzi's 600 RPM. This compact submachine gun variant operates on a closed-bolt system and uses standard 32-round Uzi magazines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the rate of fire for the Micro Uzi?

The Micro Uzi boasts an impressive cyclic rate of fire at 1250 rounds per minute (RPM). This is significantly faster than the original full-size Uzi, which typically fires around 600 RPM.

What historical context is provided for the Micro Uzi?

The Uzi platform was designed by Major Uziel Gal in the late 1940s. The Mini Uzi followed in 1980, and the Micro Uzi represented a further evolution towards smaller, faster-firing submachine gun variants.

What technical features help manage the Micro Uzi's high fire rate?

The Micro Uzi is equipped with compensator ports on the barrel. These ports help redirect gases to counteract muzzle rise and manage the intense recoil generated by its high cyclic rate of 1250 RPM.

What type of action does the Micro Uzi variant reviewed use?

The specific Micro Uzi featured in the video operates as a closed-bolt variant. This means the bolt is forward and locked before firing, contributing to accuracy and controlled fire.
