    Israel is getting rid of the Uzi. The world-famous submachine gun is being replaced by a weapon called the Tavor, which draws on lessons the Israeli military has learned during the nearly three-year Palestinian intifada. The new weapon is lighter than the Uzi and has large vents to prevent dust clogs and sights that allow the shooter to aim with both eyes open, according to Reuters. The first Tavors, manufactured by Israel Military Industries, have been issued to elite Israeli infantry units.
