Description
Northeast Mini UZI Gas Blowback Airsoft SMG (1j)
The Northeast Mini UZI is a gas blowback airsoft replica of the compact Mini UZI submachine gun, and this listing is the 1J version. The UZI family is one of the most recognisable SMG designs in the world, and the Mini version packs its distinctive look into a small, punchy package that is great fun in CQB.
Northeast is a Taiwanese maker known for detailed gas blowback replicas, including its UZI family and FAMAS rifle. A gas blowback SMG gives you a real sense of recoil and a mechanical clatter that an electric replica cannot match, which is why GBB SMGs are so popular with players who enjoy realism.
Build and design
A European retailer lists the Mini UZI GBB with metal, aluminium alloy, steel and nylon fibre construction, a weight of about 2,700g with the magazine, an inner barrel of 180mm and lengths of 360mm and 600mm (the compact and extended figures). That gives it a solid, weighty feel for such a compact replica.
The Mini UZI’s grip-mounted magazine keeps the replica balanced and makes reloading natural, as your support hand finds the magazine just as it would on a pistol.
Performance
The same retailer lists safe, semi and full auto fire, an adjustable hop-up, and a 32-round magazine, and states that the replica is compatible with both green gas and CO2 magazines. Gas blowback means each shot cycles the bolt, giving a sharp, realistic recoil.
In full auto, a gas SMG uses gas quickly, so carry spare magazines and let them warm up between bursts on cold days. CO2 magazines, where available, help in cooler weather.
The 1J version
The product name identifies this as the 1J version. Power limits differ between sites and between CQB and outdoor games, so always check your site’s rules before play, and ask us if you need help choosing the right version.

Compatibility
Use Northeast Mini UZI GBB magazines. We also list Northeast Mini UZI spare parts, including a replacement nozzle assembly, magazine follower, magazine feed lip and gas route, so the replica is easy to maintain. Check the magazine type (green gas or CO2) before buying gas.
Care and maintenance
Lubricate the magazine fill valve and seals with silicone oil every few fills, store magazines with a little gas in them, and never overfill. Gas blowback rifles cool down quickly in cold weather, so keep spare magazines warm and allow time between bursts.
Wipe the bolt carrier and other moving parts with a thin film of silicone oil, clean the inner barrel with a rod and patch, and use good quality seamless 6mm BBs. Keep the rifle and magazines away from heat and direct sunlight, and store them somewhere dry.
Who is it for?
The Northeast Mini UZI suits CQB players who want a compact, realistic gas SMG, collectors of classic SMG designs, and anyone who enjoys the recoil and character of gas blowback.
Please note: Gas and BBs are not listed as included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection when using airsoft replicas, and check your site’s rules and power limits before play.
