Uzi

The Uzi is a very powerful gun dropped from the Twins



The Uzi is a Hardmode gun that fires bullets at high velocity, with a high rate of fire, and with high damage output. Musket Balls and Silver/ shot from this weapon gain the effects (but not damage) of High Velocity Bullets. The Uzi has a  /   chance to drop from The Twins

Tips

 * Because Musket Balls fired from the Uzi are turned into High Velocity Bullets, they can pierce, hitting up to 3 enemies with a 15% drop in damage between each enemy.
 * One would need to defeat 230 /  460 Angry Trappers for a 90% chance of obtaining an Uzi (or  460 /   920 for a 99% chance).
 * The Uzi can be considered an alternative to the Megashark, if the player is fortunate enough to have an Angry Trapper drop it. The main differences are:
 * The Uzi is obtainable before defeating any Hardmode bosses, while the Megashark requires The Destroyer to be defeated first.
 * The Uzi has a higher base knockback/second than the Megashark ( versus ).
 * The Uzi is slightly slower but deals more damage per round. On enemies with more than 36 defense, the Uzi deals more damage per second using Crystal Bullets than a Megashark using the same.
 * The Uzi lacks the Megashark's ammo conservation feature, which can easily be compensated for with an . The bullets will still be released from the gun as High Velocity Bullets.
 * The Uzi is much cheaper to reforge, making it less expensive to acquire the Unreal modifier.
 * The Uzi compared to the Megashark is fairly inaccurate, with up to 15° of bullet spread.

Trivia

 * The Uzi is one of the eleven guns in Terraria based on a real gun, the others being the Red Ryder, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Handgun, Chain Gun, Flintlock Pistol, Tactical Shotgun, Musket, Quad-Barrel Shotgun, and Revolver. It is named after, a family of Israeli submachine guns.
 * Upon its introduction in the 1.2 update, the Uzi was the rarest item in the game, with a drop chance. However, this drop rate was drastically increased in the 1.2.0.3 patch shortly afterward.
 * The Sniper Rifle, Uzi, and Venus Magnum all share the same tooltip.
 * Uniquely out of these three, only the Uzi can be obtained prior to defeating any mechanical bosses (the other two are post-Plantera, which in turn require all three mechanical bosses defeated), allowing the player to use High Velocity Bullets before they are properly craftable.
