It was so controllable cutting down a small tree was easy.  Wikipedia says 177 round capacity but my memory tells me it was more like 350 rounds. It took a long time t o load the magazine. If I screwed up loading the mag it would spit them out and I had to start over.
If I won a big lottery I'd buy one.

It’s my understanding that the original had a fixed firing pin which was really just a protrusion on the front of the bolt. The bolt held open, out of battery and when the trigger was pulled, the bolt traveled forward, stripping a round from the magazine and chambering it. As the bolt slammed into battery, the fixed firing pin hit the primer firing the round and the empty was ejected by blow-back action. Simple. Genius.

I read someone, maybe Mas Ayoob, who said untrained shooters were put off by the inertia of the bolt moving PRIOR to the first shot and it threw off aim for the first shots (full auto). Consequently, a more ‘standard’ closed bolt with a traveling firing pin design was adopted. Correct me if I’m wrong.

But recently I read something that made me think they were saying that ‘open bolt’ designs are not legal (maybe over-applying NFA again?). So, even if you wanted, you couldn’t buy an original design Uzi. Also, I guess what’s the point of an open bolt design if it’s not full auto.

Tell me what I don’t know about Uzis.]]>

Daughter goes for a walk with her dog at night and has a small flashlight she takes but….

So I ordered her a new light with a couple extra rechargeable batteries 

She also carries a G19 and POM OC but figured a nice bright light can’t hurt 

Disgusting how unsafe rural America is getting

So, a 500kw mobile lazer. I wonder if it is capable of multiple rapid beams or does it rely on big honking capacitors? Seems like it would take too big of a generator to be mobile if it doesn't require recharging capacitors.]]> https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023...s-yet.html
