That’s what I was thinking when I picked it up at the local gun show. It set me back $1,000 (he was asking $1,200) but it was love at first feel. It feels like you could drop it in the mud, run over it with a Merkava, pick it back up, and start shooting again-just solid and rugged as a slab of steel. My girlfriend loves it too. She was a complete novice but took to it quickly and instinctively. After a couple mags, she was consistently pinging a 4 inch dia. steel plate at 25 yards. If the SHTF, it will be hers. I consider myself to be extremely proficient with an M16/AR15 after 8 years in the infantry. I love the M16/AR15 platform and own several actually but the Uzi is a superior weapon (out to 200 rads at least). The M16 isn’t as durable.

"I love the M16/AR15 platform and own several actually but the Uzi is a superior weapon (out to 200 rads at least). The M16 isn’t as durable".

If you meant yards you should look up ballistic tables of 9mm and .223. A 9mm is not exactly effective at 200 yards. At 200 yards the drop is 18 to 20 inches and a 115gr 9mm will be down to 847fps and 185ftlbs. of energy. The .223 has a drop of 9 inches and is still going 2201fps and has 592ftlbs. of energy. Note that this a more energy than a +p 9mm at the muzzle.

Not only that but it's a gas blow back system that fires from an open bolt so it's every bit as dirty as an AR. Short of literally running over an AR it will be every bit as dependable as the UZI. I do not suggest running over any firearms (even the much vaunted AK derivatives) and expect them to still work.

Oh...and to not derail the thread Romney is RINO at best and shouldn't even be considered as a viable candidate.

Where's the "Oh Jeeze" guy when you need him?
