Total sales of the weapon to date (end of 2001) has netted IMI over 2 billion US dollars, with over 90 countries using the weapons either for their armed forces or in law enforcement.<ref name="FF"/>
* The [[Royal Netherlands Army]] first issued the Uzi in 1956. It was the first country other than Israel to use it as a service weapon. Their models are distinct in that they have a wooden stock (made to their specifications) that is more angular, an angled butt and a curved comb, and is 2 inches longer than the IDF model. The wooden stock versions were mainly used by the [[Royal Netherlands Navy]] and the [[Netherlands Marine Corps|Marine Corps]]. The Army and [[Royal Netherlands Air Force|Airforce]] received the metal foldable stock versions as replacement. No bayonets were issued.
* The German [[Bundeswehr]] (especially its tank crews) used the Uzi since 1959 under the designation MP2. It replaced the [[Beretta Model 38|MP1 (Beretta M1938/49)]] and [[Thompson M1]] in service. The MP2 was fitted with the IDF-style wooden stock and the later MP2A1 was fitted with the metal folding stock. It can be recognized by its distinctive three-position "DES" selector switch: "D" for "''Dauerfeuer''" ("continuous-fire", or "automatic"), "E" for "''Einzelfeuer''" ("single-fire", or "semi-automatic"), and "S" for "''Sicher''" ("secure", or "safe"). It was replaced with the [[Heckler & Koch MP7]] Personal Defense Weapon in 2007.
* The [[Belgian Armed Forces]] have used Uzi machine pistols in 9mm, [[.45 ACP]] and [[22 Long Rifle|22LR]] calibres, license-made by [[FN Herstal]] from 1958 to 1971. They were also issued to the paramilitary [[Gendarmerie (Belgium)|Gendarmerie]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Uzi 9 mm|url=http://www.mil.be/fr/materiel/uzi-9-mm|website=La Défense|publisher=Ministère de la Défense|access-date=9 March 2017|language=fr|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170312035655/http://www.mil.be/fr/materiel/uzi-9-mm|archive-date=12 March 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>
* The Irish [[Garda Síochána|Gardaí]] [[Emergency Response Unit (Garda)|ERU]] and [[Regional Support Unit|RSU]] were issued the Uzi from the 1970s to 2012. It was replaced with the [[Heckler & Koch MP7]] in March 2014.<ref>[http://www.thejournal.ie/gardai-guns-840169-Mar2013/ "Gardaí feel like ‘sitting ducks’ after decision to withdraw Uzi submachine guns"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160414205606/http://www.thejournal.ie/gardai-guns-840169-Mar2013/ |date=2016-04-14 }}, TheJournal.ie, March 23, 2015</ref>
* In [[Rhodesia]], the Uzi was produced under license from 1976 until the fall of Rhodesia in 1980. It was made from Israeli-supplied (and later Rhodesian-made) components.
* [[Sri Lanka]] ordered a few thousand Mini Uzi and Uzi carbines in 1990s. Currently those are deployed with the [[Sri Lanka Army]], [[Sri Lanka Navy]] Elite Forces, and the [[Sri Lanka Police]] [[Special Task Force (Sri Lanka)|Special Task Force]] as their primary weapon when providing security for [[Very Important Person|VIP]]s.
* The [[United States Secret Service]] used the Uzi as their standard submachine gun from the 1960s until the early 1990s, when it was phased out and replaced with the [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] and [[FN P90]]. When [[Reagan assassination attempt|President Ronald Reagan was shot on March 30, 1981]], Secret Service Special Agent Robert Wanko pulled an Uzi out of a briefcase and covered the rear of the presidential limousine as it sped to safety with the wounded president inside.<ref name="FF"/>
* All [[merchant mariner]]s of [[Zim Integrated Shipping Services|the Zim Integrated Shipping line]] are trained in the use of, and issued, the Uzi.<ref>{{cite web
