Mini-Uzi

The IWI Mini UZI is a submachine gun featured in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It is a more compact variant of the ubiquitous UZI submachine gun.

The Mini UZI is 360 mm (14.17 inches) long and is a scaled-down version of the UZI, firing the same 9x19mm cartridge. First introduced in 1980 for use as a weapon for personnel that require a compact defensive weapon, the mini-Uzi comes with a side-folding stock and retains a small forward hand grip. The Mini UZI weighs about a kilogram less than the UZI when unloaded. The Mini UZI has a rate of fire of 950 rpm, or about 16 rounds a second.

In-Game
In single player, the Mini UZI is encountered in Russia, used frequently by Russian Ultranationalists. It can be found in Crew Expendable, Blackout, Hunted, Safehouse, One Shot, One Kill, The Sins of the Father, Ultimatum, and No Fighting In The War Room. It is also the favored weapon of Victor Zakhaev.

In multiplayer, the Mini UZI is unlocked at level 13. Its high rate of fire, lack of power and range, and high recoil make it difficult to use at a distance but extremely effective in close combat. Due to this high rate of fire, it has been recommended as an excellent weapon to use in conjunction with the Double Tap perk. It can be modified with a red dot sight, suppressor and ACOG. A gold skin for this weapon is unlocked once every submachine gun challenge has been completed. For the most part, this gun is made obsolete once the P90 is unlocked due to its much lower recoil.
