In Germany we say: If you wanna clear a room, just drop an Uzi inside
As far as I've read, and researched on line, Northeast is basically the only guys that are putting out these Airsoft replicas in full steel metal, which I think is just fantastic for all us Airgun Replica ethusiasts. Great stuff Northeast. I've checked out all of thier other guns, and its made from all steel metal parts as well. This is just Awesome in my book!!! Keep up the good work Northeast!!!!
Randy is San Jose, Bay Area!!!
NE have also been great at looking after their customers and correcting issues by shipping improved components to MP2 owners. That’s a hell of a lot more than other brands do!
Long may it continue.
Great to see you in the comments section, Mr Savage. All the best.
This was a very good and nice video to watch, although I hope you'll do another one with the famous 'Badabing tune', as I call it ;).
I've been tempting to buy one of these since it came out, however it's a bit pricy still. But it's definitely on my list of 'Must have'.
Can't wait for your review on this.
Another amazing video m8, I just ordered the vfc mp5k pdw gen2 as I have the new tm mp5a5 ngrs and its amazing but I wanted the compact too.
Nice!
I’d love to own their K-PDW
@@BadaBingPictures
Just got notification it is Held at customes omg. Been there for 24rs already and no reason why
Thanks for Gladly got mentioned !!! I just cant even wonder that you have hot coffee around 40C
Never liked the design of the UZI, but it's really good to have now a UZI GBBR for players who likes the UZI!
If someone knows why they replicated the German Army version, it will be interesting :)
Good content as always !
Germans use it??? 😂😂 what??
Kinda ironic no?
It's pretty funny seeing someone test the wiggle tolerances on an UZI. I have 2 and lemme tell ya, they're like a good 1911, they rattle and are beat to hell but they're reliable
Really nice unboxing, nice surprise when returning from a pew day to see you have uploaded. After you have used it a bit give us an update on your thoughts.
Sure thing.
I think I could give you a pretty good idea what we’re getting into with this NE Uzi. No doubt you might’ve heard of its issues from other sources. Northeast must be working overtime to make sure the second batch is more successful.
@@BadaBingPictures from other reviews and such i have heard many negatives but hey it usually happens with the first batch, ghk Glock anyone?
@@stephenadkins6425 They did work for Umarex, please?
Does the charging handle have the ratchet system that stops an accidental fire if it wasn't pulled back far enough for the sear t engage?
Refill when the mags are cold with some 3s pauses every 3 secondes to not freeze the valve holes + lub the bolt with silicone grease (not oil silicone) and you will drasticly increase the autonomie of any gbbr by 2 at minimum.
Personally I find the valves never freeze up when I charge continuously. They only do when there’s a breach in the seal connection.
@@BadaBingPictures aparently the micro holes inside the valve can freeze. The one visible when you disasembly the valves and almost invisible. But that what kwa/ksc say
Hi, which silicon grease would you recommend please?
@@airriflevermincontroluk5027 SuperLube synthetic multipurpose grease for metal parts and for o rings and seals silicone oil.
@@BadaBingPictures Thank you mate. The MP2A1 is a cracking piece of hardware isn’t it.
I’ve been hunting for one of these for years. Thank you for sharing!
Mate brought one to a skirmish, first game. Mag shell raised in housing causing bolt to stop going home or click no bang. Then the bbs wouldn’t feed at all. Sounds good but the bolt is just anaemic like it’s not helped by the whopping disparity between the weapons weight and the bolt weight. Stood no chance of making any real felt recoil. Hate to be a downer but I’m very glad I didn’t dunk £500 on it myself.
What your mate experienced is what EVERY reviewer will experience after a week with the gun. I also got one from the first batch and have the exact same problems listed out by every commenter and reviewer. The bolt doesn't sit hard enough on the sear and the gun no longer engages the hammer. The magazine housing falls apart and presses up on the nozzle causing jams. The nozzle is too long and does not have enough time to cycle a BB every time and leads to jams or double feeds. The external looks and weight is 100/100, but all this is good for is a piece to hang on a wall.
Got mine a week or so ago. Had problems with the mag, not just the follower getting snagged toward the top (catching on the joint between the upper and lower parts of the mag, this can be solved with a file) but also feeding too many bb's at a time causing constant jams. I fixed that by first heating the lips in boiling water, compressing them slightly when soft and putting them straight under cold water to shock the molecules into staying there. I came to the conclusion the mag's spring was too strong causing this to happen but good news as there's an easy fix! If you look at the mag side on, you will see two pins towards the bottom of the mag, the the upper pin holds the spacer for the spring in place; just use a drift to knock that pin out and the spring will internally expand all the way to the bottom taking the stress off the mag lips and allowing you to add another 10 bb's or more as a bonus, add a few drops of gun oil to the spring as all the parts are metal including the follower. Chugs along nicely now with the odd stoppage but I'd say that it's just wearing in as I've totally stripped, cleaned and greased/oiled the gun, you might want to put less grease on the bolt than I did as that might have caused the stoppages which now seem to have disappeared. Lucky you bought spare mags as she cools down really fast even in this heat! Still waiting for my second mag. Oh I also took out the long stem pipe in the mag (it just twists off, no glue on mine at least) to allow more gas in the mag, you'll need to periodically check for trapped air (rather than gas) in the mag and expel that carefully until you reach the gas then top it up again until all the air is gone. LOL, I had to use a plastic tipped hammer to get the top cover of mine off, really tight fit!
It’s not just the lips, but it’s also the nozzle being too long and not having enough time to cycle a BB properly. There’s a fix floating around on TH-cam where people have used a glue gun to create a piece to shorten the travel of the the nozzle by half so that BBs always load properly in full auto.
@@jeff_chan Useful to know any links would be greatly appreciated as it might explain why my full auto isn't particularly snappy! Cheers! Never mind, found it, brilliant video!! Thanks for mentioning it! th-cam.com/video/uu3XNVkYdB4/w-d-xo.html
@@shovelchop81bikeralex52 I tried a link but it gets automatically deleted. Search for Dave Wong MP2A1. There is one video that is particularly long about the Uzi that shows multiple fixes he employed, including one to fix the hammer spring that North East manufactured backwards. Unfortunately the video is in Chinese, but the owner of the video is good with English responses to English comments. Good luck with the fixes!
@@jeff_chan Yes that's the one I watched, I posted a link in my previous reply does it not show in the comment? I can still see it.
@@shovelchop81bikeralex52 Yeah, I'm having trouble see all the links and my own link was removed. But it seems like you've found the video I was referring to. I can also answer questions if you have any about that video. That reviewer is really good with technical stuff. He even made the hammer spring himself with a spare lying around for another gun.
"it's annoyingly stiff to get this thing off"
Flashbacks to my first girlfriend...
Ibimagine it will be a case of like THE VFC MP5 where it's wise to lock the bolt back again prior to reloading to avoid excessive wear on the follower and gas nozzle.
There are already mods floating around to increase the gas efficiency and recoil by tweaking the piston with a dremel if you need it
Can't wait to add one to my collection, missed the boat on the first batch it seems but should be seeing the guys soon to do a test review and writeup for the issue after next. 👍
I was going to include a “that’s what she said” quote
It’s crazy the amount of flaws these things arrive at your door with. For £500, I expected better.
@@BadaBingPictures gas guns man. I'm literally just rounding off my review of the WE L85A2 GBBR for next issue right now...
"And what do we say to the god of death?"
'... STOPPAAAAGE!'
@@stewbacca117 Haha! “Not today”
These are the reasons we shed the fur off our scalps! Little bastards lol
That's a nice one!
Calling it the MP2A1 is kinda clever.
It reminds people that the Uzi was part of German SMG lineage in the early days. Everyone knows of the MP5 and MP7, but most probably don't know the Bundeswehr adopted the Thompson as the MP1 and Uzi as MP2.
Can you do a magnet test on the smaller parts to confirm that they are ferrous?
Sure thing 👍
Beautiful gun I'm really conflicted between getting this and the vfc mp5k as my first gbb smg
Get the vfc mp5k or wait for them to release version 2 of the UZI. The UZI has some severe design issues that needs to be fixed first. If you want a gun that runs, go for the vfc. Otherwise as a replica the UZI is amazing.
100% with Mr Mister.
The VFC MP5K is what I’d go for. Their MP5 series are well into the second generation and many improvements have been implemented.
I had my vfc mp5k v2 for about week or so now, and I must say it's great indeed. At least for me, I'm surprise how accurate and the range it has for a short inner barrel gbb.
@@BadaBingPictures Thanks for your guys' insight I'll go for the mp5k then as I want the gun to perform as well rather than just look good. As for ordering I'd have to ship from Asia to Europe, more specifically the Netherlands. I've seen the mp5k at wgcshop, which is reliable from what I've heard but I was wondering if there's any other stores that might be better to order from.
@@arosch_213 RWA is the distributor for Asia so they are also good to work with in case you run into any issues. I've dealt with them locally and their management has been very nice to speak to.
Some people are reporting in problems in hong kong and taiwan already, would love to see a follow up video on those specific problems should you encounter them in the long run
Not just that. Northeast has acknowledged the cocking problem and asked people to hammer the receiver cover as a quick fix.
th-cam.com/video/ZpCWgFxjXbE/w-d-xo.html
I’ve come across 3 issues so far.
-Bbs jamming within the magazine
-Failure to fire/bolt drop. The top cover requires correct seated for the bolt carrier to engage the sear.
-Low efficiency.
It’s early days yet. I’ll keep playing around with this blaster and see.
@@zybersniper lol, we waited how long for this gun, and they are telling us to hammer it
@@maX0229567 Not just that but they’ve also managed to manufacture the hammer spring backwards. The hammer is skewed to one side and only knocks on the edge of the magazine valve. They definitely looked the other way with this as it’s so obvious that the problem is with the factory.
Cool Airsoft Uzi but in West German variant
I want one!!!
Coffee time :)
That is one sexy coffee! Nice gun too...
Not bad right? 👍
Right after i get the STEN MK5, the MK2 version becomes in-stock here in Germany, and now this. Enjoy that beautiful (Bundeswehr) replica!
i need more money :')
It looks nice and seems to work better then I was expecting it to BUT looks like North East don't fully have the design where it needs to be.
Also I know replicas like this are always going to have light recoil BUT part of me was hoping that it would have really strong OTT recoil. If it had I would be fine with it not working well.
I was hoping for stronger recoil too, I think dilemma is, to have stronger recoil you need a heavier bolt, this however compromises the performance, as was the case with the kwc uzi, the recoil was immence due to the heavy bolt but it had really bad performance.
Yeah, but as you can see in the video, the uzi is still not doing a great job on full auto
But if I was the one buying it, I wouldn't mind the performance, it's more of a collectable item to me
@@billythesawlee7097 yes agreed, as a replica it's 10/10 for me , feels great to hold , full steel, its just a bonus it can shoot too even if its not that great.
Other than English, I understand Cantonese, and there is a very detailed review video(Cantonese)of all the small problems right out of the box and the way to fix them. Looks like North East rushed too much this time and does not do a good QC job. Hope you can put some perspective to make this little SMG works as it should be.
Cantonese supporter here
@k_ethan_l I'd still say out of the box my GHK MK18 Mod1 performed the best out of the box when compared with the VFC MP5K PDW V2 and Northeast MP2A1. Though I had to remove a lot of metal burrs from the CNC body of the GHK and the bolt carrier wasn't properly anodised for the first one that was opened at the shop.
I guess we are all watching the video from Dave in HK! Glad to see other fellow Canto airsofters here!
@k_ethan_l Greetings! You guys are pretty hardcore about Airsoft! I envy you all having a proper VFC service centre.
We fix all those issues too! They do not hop over a .20!
We can make it air lasers up to .30,custom valves for fps and we make them cycle much ,much better!
US only though!
Northeast are releasing a GBB Famas this year
I am fond of the Famas but it’s not really my jam. Best see how the first couple of batches perform before picking one up 😉
@@BadaBingPictures is the uzi worth getting ?
@@smiffy.airsoft.ghillie5861 if you can’t get your hands on a deactivated Uzi for collectors purposes, the North East Uzi would be an excellent alternative.
As an airsoft gun, going only by my own experience, it’s not a good GBB SMG.
NEA have been putting a lot of things right following the poor initial launch, but even if it’s a solid reliable gas gun the thing is just really dull. And I mean in the way it shoots. It’s not going to excite you; think of a KWA Mac-11 style of recoil in a heavy steel shell.
KWC mini uzi review?
I’m not really interested in the Mini Uzi. Mainly because it’s co2 powered and I don’t particularly like buying those capsules. Very wasteful, to be honest.
Hi Badabing. So is it your policy to upload everything to youtube too? Because I really hate facebook watch. You'll get my like over there too, but I'd prefer to watch the video here.
Unboxing videos will be sent to both sites and smaller insignificant videos will also get posted to FB.
I agree, the video format on there isn’t my favourite either.
@@BadaBingPictures I don't know about video formats (although this unboxing video on FB was played back in a pretty crappy quality), I just hate their video player, keeps going to fullscreen, start with max volume, autostarts other videos, scrolls down automatically, these sorts of things.
now all you need is a Bayonet because the MP2A1 takes a Bayonet
Is it better then the kwc mini uzi?
That's what i own; I love it so far, no problems. (KWC mini uzi)
@@BillLarkinmusic i have a lot of guns now but its one of the mist realistic and most fun it shoots to hard tho for the netherlands
Are you sure you’re not related to farrister lmao. He’s a TH-cam who does ship reviews on a game called star citizen but you both have similar accents and also the same way of talking into the mic when doing reviews and the way you format your reading is similar.
I had to look this one up as I’m not familiar. Definitely sure!
His accent has northern English enunciations to it.
I’m South West, although not as broad as everyone else in my region. Thankfully! 😅
Its the same guy
Noiccccceeeee
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰UZI🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
First i thought it was negative airsoft fooling around 🤣 than xit
Unfortunately no. Just me 🙋🏻♂️
I have a kwa mini uzi it’s a piece of shit but it’s fun
Maby Red gas (Red Nimrod / nuprol / WEx3) or Black gas ( bk Nimrod /nuprol /WEx4 ) for this beast. Should fire full mag on autofire when using stronger gas.
To be honest it shouldn’t need anything hotter than propane. Not in this weather anyway.
If it can’t function to a high standard then it’s likely deficiencies within the gun itself.
@@BadaBingPictures I've tried the 14KG propane and the issues persist. It has to do with the nozzle assembly and the rapid cooldown only gets worse with higher density gas.
I want to buy one, but there are just too many problem with this gun.
North East has acknowledged the problems, not sure how many of those will be fixed
It might be worth waiting another year.
This model ticks all the boxes externally but it’s a GBB that needs careful tuning.
@k_ethan_l There is a whole list of them that are required.
1. Top cover (it's too loose)
2. Sear spring (too strong so the bolt can't engage it from time to time)
3. Hammer spring (it's reversed)
4. Sear (the wear on it is insane, and metal get shaved off of it)
5. Nozzle (it's too long and can't cycle BBs properly)
6. Magazine spring (too strong)
6. Magazine follower (too tight tolerance, with BBs stuck inside)
7. Inner magazine connecting lip (this falls apart within a week)
Sounds sluggish, needs som black gas :)
With a bolt that is this lightweight it shouldn’t need black gas. Minor tuning perhaps.
I refuse to buy airsoft gas, haha
Brown gass
This gun has a design problem. It’s just a matter of time before the gun stops cocking properly and the sear no longer engages. The magazine also falls apart. Good luck!
Long time buddy! Hope all is well with you and the Fam!
KwC C02 mags should also work! Let us know if you’ve tried them!
Crisis @Ultra Collector Customz!
BTW we make custom Tracers for them!
We have ab example on one of our long Acetech vids!
Hey,
All is well thanks. Yourself?
I haven’t tried KWC mags, I’m not a fan of co2 though. Propane is perfect for me 👍
