Duh.
This is hyperbole. The more ridiculous the exaggeration, the more entertaining the effect.
(I don't know of any film showing an Uzi being tossed down the stairs, because Uzi owners are not that dumb.)

The implied point being, if we tape off the grip safety, instead of becoming a "dialed in Uzi user" as Vickers suggests, we actually just remove one of the key things that makes an Uzi what it is. One of the main reasons it was created and then adopted, was that the STENs it replaced were so dangerous to use in combat. (Just like a MAC would be.)

So, if a person goes down the path of being stupid, and fixing non-existent problems in a way that makes the weapon more dangerous, they might as well, go all the way to ridiculous Hollywood fantasy, right?

Note - All of the above should be read out-loud in whisper talk, for proper dramatic effect.

I've read that a Secret Service agent had an AD in Air Force One while placing a loaded UZI with a taped down grip safety on a rack when he dropped the gun. I've got no way to personally verify that, so take it for what it's worth.

top 3 SMGs of the 20th century (in my opinion as an arms collector and ex military armourer) not in any order UZI , MP5 & sterling L2a3.
