Description
Introduction
The Uzi Pro is a sub machine gun of Israeli origin. The Uzi Pro is a modernized version of the Micro Uzi. It was developed by IWI for export sales and is available since 2010.
Design
The Uzi Pro is a modernized version of the Micro Uzi. It is a blowback operated weapon that fires from the closed bolt position. The Micro Uzi design has been improved by the ability to mount various accessories, such as a reddot sight. The rate of fire is lower due to the use of a heavier bolt. The lower receiver is made of polymer for weight reduction. Instead of the metal strut a more ergonomic side folding stock is fitted. The Uzi Pro is offered in three barrel lengths.
Firepower
The Uzi Pro fires the 9x19mm Parabellum round from a 20 round detachable box magazine. 25 and 32 round magazines can be used as well. The Uzi Pro is a select fire weapon with a cyclic rate of fire of 1.000 to 1.150 rpm. Due to the slightly lower rate of fire, the increased weight, ability to mount a forward grip and improved shoulder stock the Uzi Pro is more controllable in automatic fire than the earlier Micro Uzi.
Users
The Uzi Pro is produced by IWI for export sales. Known users are India and Ukraine. Furthermore, it is likely to in use in limited numbers with various nations in Asia and South America.
