== Military variants == The standard Uzi has a {{convert|10|in|mm|adj=on}} barrel. It has a rate of automatic fire of 600 rounds per minute (rpm) when chambered in [[9mm Parabellum]]; the [[.45 ACP]] model's rate of fire is slower at 500 rpm.<ref name="KD"/> [[Image:Uzi 2.jpg|thumb|A Mini Uzi]] The '''Mini Uzi''' is a smaller version of the regular Uzi, first introduced in 1980. The Mini Uzi is {{convert|600|mm|in|abbr=on}} long or {{convert|360|mm|in|abbr=on}} long with the stock folded. Its barrel length is {{convert|197|mm|in|abbr=on}}, its muzzle velocity is {{convert|375|m/s|abbr=on}} and its effective range is {{convert|100|m|abbr=on}}. It has a greater automatic rate of fire of 950 rounds per minute due to the shorter bolt. Its weight is approximately {{convert|2.7|kg|abbr=on}}.<ref name="KD"/> [[File:COIM in Ancon 2010-07-19.JPG|thumb|left|Argentine special forces with a Micro Uzi]] The '''Micro Uzi''' is an even further scaled down version of the Uzi, introduced in 1986. The Micro Uzi is {{convert|486|mm|in|abbr=on}} long, reduced to {{convert|282|mm|in|abbr=on}} with the stock folded, and its barrel length is {{convert|117|mm|in|abbr=on}}. It has a closed bolt compared to its original counterpart.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://georgians.weapon.ge/index.php?sel=1&id=348&l=en |title=IMI Micro-UZI (Israel) |website=WEAPON.GE |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721030240/http://georgians.weapon.ge/index.php?sel=1&id=348&l=en |archive-date=2011-07-21 |url-status=dead}} Weapon.GE, retrieved on February 01, 2011.</ref> Its muzzle velocity is {{convert|350|m/s|abbr=on}} and its cyclic rate of fire is 1,200 rpm. It weighs slightly over {{convert|1.5|kg|abbr=on}}.<ref name="KD"/> [[File:IWI UZI.jpg|thumb|Uzi Pro]] The '''Uzi Pro''', an improved variant of the Micro Uzi, was launched in 2010 by [[Israel Weapon Industries|Israel Weapon Industries Ltd.]] (I.W.I.), formerly the ''magen'' ("small arms") division of [[Israel Military Industries]]. The Uzi Pro is a blowback-operated, select-fire, closed-bolt submachine gun with a large lower portion, comprising grip and handguard, entirely made of polymer to reduce weight; the grip section was redesigned to allow two-handed operation and facilitate control in full-automatic fire of such a small-sized firearm. The Uzi Pro features four [[Picatinny rail]]s, two at the sides of the barrel, which can be removed, one below the barrel for the addition of foregrips and one on the top for optics. The under barrel rail is often shown with a specialised foregrip which attaches to the pistol grip to form a hand guard. In addition, the cocking handle has been moved to the left side.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.israel-weapon.com/default.asp?catid={89B2D388-821D-424D-B8AB-CB619D165202} |title=UZI Pro |publisher=Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) Ltd |access-date=6 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101124224307/http://www.israel-weapon.com/default.asp?catid=%7B89B2D388-821D-424D-B8AB-CB619D165202%7D |archive-date=24 November 2010 }}</ref> The new weapon weighs {{convert|2.32|kg|abbr=on}} and has a length of {{convert|529|mm|in|abbr=on}} with an extended stock,<ref name=jpostProDec11>{{cite news | url=http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?id=248117 | title=New version of legendary Uzi unveiled | first=Yaakov | last=Katz | publisher=[[JPost]].com | date=5 December 2011 | access-date=6 December 2011 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111206042650/http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?id=248117 | archive-date=6 December 2011 | url-status=live }}</ref> and {{convert|300|mm|in|abbr=on}} while collapsed.
