Strange, no one is dissing IMI. All everyone is saying is that for the money of an IMI firearm, there are more and better options for more reliable and accurate firearms.

BTW, your UZI analogy is about 15 years to late. The reason the MP5 was created was because of reliability issues with the open bolt design of the UZI. In fact (unless I'm mistaken and please correct me if I'm wrong) I believe the receiver design of the UZI was taken from the M1 Thompson SMG. Unlike Heckler and Koch, IMI is not as good at taking a brilliant gun design and improving it. However, that is a topic for another thread.

Your idea that more power for a defense round is not right. The .50 Action Express round was never designed for self-defense. Pass through rounds are a very bad thing.

The .50 AE is the most powerfull semi-auto round. When you get into revolver rounds, there are so many that make the DE look like a pop-gun.

I think I covered most of your points, if I missed anything please let me know.
