"Uzi type design"

[edit]

The article currently calls the Métral gun an "Uzi type design". Now I say that would depend on the definition of what an "Uzi type design" is supposed to mean. All the features which the Uzi and the Métral have in common (e.g. overhung bolt, magazine in grip) have originated with other submachine guns before the Uzi (e.g. CZ 25). From my understanding, what set the Uzi apart from many other submachine guns of its time was the construction in cheap to produce stamped metal parts. This aspect the Métral gun does not share as it particularly avoids stamped parts. --BjKa (talk) 12:16, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
