    Coinciding with this morning's release of 4 more hostages, here is a video I took last summer of the shooting of my Semi-Automatic Carbine, 9mm Caliber, UZI made in Israel.

    A little background about the UZI which is part of a family of firearms that were first designed in Israel during the 1940s. The name comes from its designer Uziel "Uzi" Gal, an Israeli Army Officer who was born in Germany and died in Philadelphia in 2002. The UZI continued to be issued by the Israeli Military until a year after his death. Reportedly it is being used today in both the Russo-Ukranian War and in the Israel-Hamas War.

    Whiles it is illegal to own or possess an UZI in States such as California and Connecticut, an UZI manufactured prior to 1986 is legal to have in Alaska. In the below video a related to me California couple who have travelled to Alaska learn to shoot my UZI.

    Link to the Video of the UZI being shot on an Alaska Firing Range:

    In addition below are concurrently taken photos of them and their family learning to safely assemble, load, and fire the UZI as well as of their shooting my Walther PPK/S Pistol of James Bond notoriety.

    With regard to the "James Bond" gun this experience from this past summer mirrored one of my own from several years ago at another Alaska shooting range where I had the opportunity to fire both the Walther PPK/S and a sniper weapon as detailed in an email I posted at the time (2015).

    "No, not prepping for another appearance on Hawaii Five-0, but today had the experience to actually fire a sniper rifle equipped with the same cartridge that set the world record for a sniper kill at 1.5 miles. The "class", including myself, were amazed that on my first shot I hit the 8" pie shaped target at a distance of 300 meters.

    In addition, the class got a kick out of getting to impersonate James Bond by firing my Walther PPK/S that I brought along. I fired it for the first time after acquiring it some 40 years ago."

    The UZI:

    The Walther PPK/S:

    Note the after shot kick upward of the pistol immediately after firing:
