talk:Uzi

The infobox lists wars in which the Uzi has been used.

a) Most of the list entries are unreffed.

b) The list includes The Troubles and the Falklands war, where the linked articles give no indication of who used the weapon or for what purpose.

c) The list includes warious 'metaphorical' criminal wars such as Miami Drug Wars, which actually pipes to an individual drug 'baron-ess', who did have the Uzi used against her on at least one ocassion.

Are these inclusions valid and/or remotely useful? Pincrete (talk) 10:27, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Uzi's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Who the heck uses this weapon in the Syrian civil war? If it was it really should be sourced. ColorfulSmoke (talk) 11:21, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello

The main article photo, as well as the one titled "Uzi with folding stock", are both semi-automatic versions licensed to a US retailer (Action Arms LTF) and sold to the public. Im not sure any of the pics are actual original military UZI's from IMI. MI tried finding some public domain pictures but with no success. Ive swapped the main pic to one in the wikimedia which while im not sure where it is from, I do know its not a US version. If anyone could get some photos of actual Israeli versions it would be a good upgrade. Oemurray (talk) 10:00, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Speaking of which, if anyone can find more reference pictures of the Prototype Uzi Pro that only accepts what looks like Glock magazines, please do. Sadly, the only two images I have are from one website and another is a photograph of a page from The Uzi Submachine Gun Examined by David Gaboury. https://twitter.com/Southwood_/status/899966685754515456 This weapon is proving to be tedious and elusive in terms of reference images. At least six faces of this weapon will help game companies transform it into a 3D model.--Cartoondude135 (talk) 02:23, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Posting this here as I have a COI with the cited source.

The article makes mention of civilian UZI SMGs on the collector's market, so the current values may be of interest.

There are 2 listed here that sold on GunBroker.com: https://www.gunbroker.com/c/article/19-most-expensive-guns-sold-on-gunbroker-september-2024/.

Item # 11 was sold for $21,750.00 USD on 19 September 2024, and

Item # 10 was sold for $29,000.00 USD on 29 September 2024

:Specifically, the section I mentioned where value may be of interest is under ==Civilian Variants==, Uzi Carbine:

:"The American firm Group Industries made limited numbers of a copy of the Uzi "B" model semiauto carbine for sale in the US along with copies of the Uzi submachine gun for the U.S. collectors' market."

:Perhaps an entry along the lines of "As of 2024, average prices can be over $25,00.00 USD." LoVeloDogs (talk) 23:17, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
