The gun I principally traveled to SHOT Show this year to see this year was on the last position on the lower range at Media Day At The Range. It is the Uzi Rifle, and it is actually a .22 Long Rifle rimfire version of the legendary Israeli design. I have shot a number of Uzis over the years, including the semi-automatic carbine when I was a teenager to the full-automatic submachine guns and the difficult to control Mini Uzi in full automatic, and I must say this was almost as much fun as a full-automatic Uzi. OK, maybe not as fun, but close. The gun is made by Carl Walther in Germany and imported into the United States by Umarex, with the name and likeness of the gun being licensed by Israel Weapon Industries.
