Yeah, you can do some weird stuff if brass hits you in the eye or down the collar. Best to make sure it doesn’t do that as best you can.

"That Uzi empties its magazine in a second. That's 30 recoils in a row in a second. "

That would be 1800 rounds per minute. That sounds awfully fast.

You are right....uzis cycle at 600 rounds per minute...still damn fast.

I can’t believe they thought it was safer because it was smaller. Recoil is inversely proportional to mass, you idiots! This micro-Uzi thing is so light and has such a high cyclic rate that it’s hard to think of a gun that would be more dangerous for an inexperienced kid to fire. He’d have been fine shooting a big heavy SMG like a Tommy gun.

The micro version of the Uzi has a cyclic of 1250 rounds/min or more than 20 per second. It’s one of the fastest little buzz saws made. You barely even hear the individual discharges.

The Uzi fires 600 rounds/min...

Correction : The micro is 1250 rpm...mini is 950 rpm...

Standard is 600 rpm...

Bennett said, noting that the weapon has a rate of fire of 20 to 25 rounds per second

Logical reasoning for people who don't know what they're doing though. Unfortunately, the people "in charge" purported to be experts.
