IMI Uzi

USSS Agents and various assassins use the Uzi. The U.S. Secret Service actually did have the Uzi in their arsenal in the 1980's and many agents used them (the most notable example being the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981 when Special Agent Robert Wanko pulled an Uzi out of a briefcase to cover the President).
