Northeast UZI VN GBB Airsoft SMG (Limited Edition)

After World War II, a new nation was formed in an area where all its neighbors disapproved of its existence, a new weapon was needed to protect its borders and interests. A Major by the name of Uziel Gal designed a weapon to be more compact than its WW2 counter-parts, cheap to produce due to its use of sheet metals and that it is more ergonomic as reloads became more intuitive, but he had a specific request that the gun should not be named after him. This weapon was known as the UZI.

The UZI is a submachine gun that was made during the 1950s for Israel to replace its stock of WW2 leftover SMGs, it uses the open bolt design yet it is much more compact compared to the WW2 relics as it uses a telescoping bolt and has the magazine housed in the pistol grip, making it quite modern and ergonomic at the time. Due to it being the go-to Subgun before the introduction of the famous Heckler & Koch MP5, even the United States purchased a few for their Special Operations branch of the Armed Forces and used it during the Vietnam War and the rest of the Cold War, it was most notably used by the United States Secret Service used the UZI from 1960 till the Early 1990s where it was replaced by the previously mentioned MP5 and armor-piercing capable FN P90. Here is the famous picture of the aftermath of the assassination attempt on President Ronald Regan on March 30th, 1981 where Secret Service Agent Robert Wanko brandishes and unfolds the stock of his concealed UZI:

The Northeast UZI VN GBB Airsoft SMG is a limited production run and a faithful replica of the FN version of the UZI which the United States bought from for MACVSOG units during the Vietnam War. This replica replicated the real FAZ 65 to a T, most of the gun is made of steel and has an electro-deposition black finish, while the grips are of high-quality polymers, just like the real gun. The gun has features that are almost the same as the real gun, the bolt and charging handle will stay in place when the bolt is not charged completely, you also cannot charge the gun when the safety is engaged or when the grip safety is not pressed, the only thing not realistic about this replica is that it is an airsoft gun that fired 6mm BBs.

Compared to the Northeast STEN, it is much simpler to toggle dry fire on the FAZ 65, as no longer will you need to disassemble the magazine to toggle, simply just toggle the switch on the magazine to activate dry fire or a last round cut-off, this is great for some of us who just wanted to dry fire their gun at home.

Marking-wise, the gun features the correct Belgium markings, and fire control markings are marked with A, R, and S; A stands for Auto, R stands for Repetition or single fire, and S stands for Safe.

Lastly, the gun has recoil but the impulse at least for us is not as strong as the Umarex (VFC) H&K MP5A5 gas airsoft SMG in our humble opinion, but the gun is quite snappy on semi and has a similar automatic rate as the real UZI.

Pro's Tip:

A pro's tip regarding the MP2A1 is that when adjusting the Hop-Up you will have to remove the barrel from the gun, to install the barrel, make sure that you push down the latch and screw the barrel screw all the way in before releasing it, as without doing so, it is possible that the barrel may not sit in and cause probable feeding issues.
