I was thinking the same thing. It looks mostly because they slapped on every accessory available. The traditional style w/ out all that extra is pretty efficient but compare it to the MAC 10 which seems a lot sleeker (less reliable though).
Not that there is much to complain about with the UZI, it has proven its worth.

Even the Ruger MP9 was a good bit more ergonomic and less *clunky*, though the stillborn Ruger attempt used its own non-interchangable magazines. That helped kill it.

They were awfully darned heavy- a loaded Uzi is heavier than a loaded M16A1 rifle. That's not a big deal for us treadheads, but the poor bloody infantrymen who sometimes have to carry everything they have on their backs, it's a big deal.
