Lots of people are curious about full-auto and want to scratch that curiosity itch. Why would that be a waste of time?
Well, if it's a matter of scratching that particular curiosity itch, then I suppose it's not a waste of time. My late husband used to shoot the Uzi he brought back from Israel at Quantico's outdoor firing range occasionally (we had a couple of friends who were agents; the wife was their top instructor at Hogan's Alley) where it was nice and open. However, he preferred target shooting that involved skill rather than just spraying bullets rapidly, which is all his model Uzi was designed to do. It got rather expensive as well.

I'm curious about this. Do you know how he was able to import that weapon into the US? Simply "bringing it back" wouldn't be legal. It can be done legally, but there are very specific circumstances under which it's allowed, and very specific procedures (licensing, etc.) that must be followed.
Was your husband a licensed dealer or manufacture (and SOT) for Title 2 weapons?

I'll offer a guess that the Uzi is legally the property of the USMC, and is available for some people to shoot at Quantico.

My husband has been dead for 15 years and he brought it back long before I even knew him, so I have no idea. He did have friends in Israel that he visited regularly. It may not have been legal, but I couldn't care less.

I’m not passing judgement, simply asking a question. The eye roll isn’t necessary.

It was for my sake, not yours. I honestly have no idea how he obtained the Uzi, nor do I care. We also had an exact replica kept in the closet that weighed the same as the real one. That sucker was heavy!
Renting/shooting an Uzi is a waste of bullets and money, IMHO.
If you can afford it, why not? I reload so it's not even expensive as a sport.
