Uziel "Uzi" Gal (עוזיאל "עוזי" גל, born Gotthard Glas; 15 December 1923 – 7 September 2002) was a German-born Israeli firearm designer who invented the Uzi submachine gun.

Gal was born in Weimar, Germany to Miele and Erich Glas.

1933

When the Nazis came to power in 1933, he first moved to the United Kingdom and later in 1936 to Kibbutz Yagur in the British Mandate of Palestine, where he changed his name to Uziel Gal.

In 1943, he was arrested for illegally carrying a gun and was sentenced to six years in prison.

1946

However, he was pardoned and released in 1946 (serving less than half of his sentence).

Gal began designing the Uzi submachine gun shortly after the founding of Israel and the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.

Gal did not want the weapon to be named after him but his request was denied.

1975

Gal retired from the IDF in 1975, and moved to the United States the following year.

He settled in Philadelphia so that his daughter, Tamar, who had serious brain damage, could receive extended medical treatment there.
