ARE YOU NUTS?!?!

Jeepers! You're probably the 1000th person in my life to ask me that question! I think I'm beginning to see a pattern here.
Have you ever actually shot either of them?

Great question! I shouldn't have an opinion about their relative merits without actually firing them.
Well, since I've been collecting assault weapons and such weapons as these since 1974, and my 22nd Birthday, so I will say this - I've had 'access' to both weapons. 'Nuff said!

Recognize those weapons?[:D]
With the UZI you basically have 2 platforms; wooden or folding metal stock.

You are correct, Sir, but who's talking about [u]platforms[/u] now? I'm talking about a SHTF weapon!
I own BOTH, and the UZI is a fine SMG for an older design.

Yes, when I want to impress the locals at the gun shows, the HK MP5 or PDW variants work wonders!
But if I were to be dropped off at my Farm, say, for the next ten years to defend it against and and all goblins, give me the UZI!
Remember, we're talking about a SHTF weapon!
If I take an HK, I better remember to bring a lot of parts including firing pins and springs.
And UZI? What firing pin? You mean the one machined into the huge, indestructible bolt?
How about changing barrels? You need to help me load up a press to take out to the Farm for that purpose. Barrels? I need a small personal loan from you to help me buy a few.
UZI barrels? Easy on, easy off. No special tools required. No loans. Dime a dozen.
Ammo sensitivity? HK? Better have a couple of differently angled locking pieces for your bolt carrier, 'cause those MP5s can get pretty finicky with various types of ammo, and you may have to trade them out when you switch ammo.
UZI? It will digest anything!
Pardon me![:D]
But in NO WAY can it be compared to the MP5.

You are sooo right about that! If my fighting is going to be done on the weekends, with a cease fire or two every so often, I'll use an HK.
If it's gonna be ballz to the wall, SHTF-type fighting, give me the UZI [u]always[/u]!
And that's all I have to say about that.
