Contrary to popular belief, it is unlikely that so called "Gangstas" would typically posses such a weapon.
Owing to its cost (in excess of $6000)
Weapons commonly mislabelled as "uzis" include
Scorpion
vz 61 machine pistol
Ingram Mac 10 and 11
(effective range 25 metres. Could explain why "ganstas" can't hit
fuckall. That plus their lack of firearms training and the inability to straighten their arms)
The
