Cannon Flannel tries the Northeast airsoft Mini Uzi gas blowback airsoft gun. This is a faithful recreation of the classic 1980s submachine gun, complete with stamped steel construction and authentic Israeli trademarks. Testing reveals that the replica accidentally copied a real-world design flaw, allowing players to activate full-auto fire while the selector is set to semi-auto simply by pulling the trigger lightly. It supports both green gas and carbon dioxide magazines, though adjustments to the hop-up system require a bit of patience since you have to partially take the gun apart just to reach it.

Performance on the field leans heavily toward entertainment rather than competitive precision. During accuracy testing at fifteen meters, the replica performed reasonably well on semi-auto but turned into something closer to a shotgun when switched to full-auto. Mechanical quirks are part of the package, as the open-bolt design occasionally causes double-feeding issues or sends BBs tumbling into the void. Chronograph testing also showed a noticeable drop in power from the first shot to the last, confirming that gas consistency is not its strong suit.

For him, this replica is positioned as a collector's item rather than a competitive option for serious airsoft matches. While it will not outperform modern alternatives, it offers a high level of realism for enthusiasts who appreciate the historical design. He says that for fans of the era, the sheer amusement of firing it outweighs its technical shortcomings.
