"This highly effective submachine gun is ideal for clearing confined areas. Its weight and design allow for optimum usage of this SMG."

- The Arsenal

The IMI UZI is an Israeli SMG (Hebrew: עוזי‎, officially cased as UZI). This weapon is known for its low damage and high recoil, but has a great rate of fire and is high on Portability. However, the game introduced the MAC-10, which outperforms the UZI in damage, but has higher recoil and notoriously low accuracy. It costs 700 GP per day, making it the cheapest automatic firearm in the game.

The UZI is notable for boasting the fastest reload time out of any Primary Weapon. It is also notable to be very light and used along with a speed increase gear to get to places a lot faster. Due to its high fire rate, the UZI is prone to getting headshots at close range. Even when fully spraying, the recoil pattern goes straight up, making this weapon extremely useful for tap firing at close ranges. This have lead to players calling people who use this weapons as hackers due to the assumption that submachine guns have very low accuracy and nearly never get headshots. Even when aiming for body kills, the UZI is disarmingly effective. Its low price and the fact that new players use it cause people to assume that the UZI is an inferior weapon. This is the same case with the M4A1.

Customization
The UZI can be fitted with a Suppressor and an Extended Magazine, but cannot be equipped with a Scope. The Uzi is considered more of a one-clip-one-kill weapon because of its high recoil, high fire rate and low accuracy. Because of this, an extended magazine is recommended on this weapon, so as to allow you to attack groups of people with one magazine. Extended magazine only affects this gun's reload speed by half a second, so if your rank is high enough, try to buy the Extended Magazine II for this weapon.
