IWI Mini UZI CO2 4.5mm BB Blowback Air Gun by UMAREX
The Mini UZI CO2 replica brings one of the most recognisable compact submachine gun designs into airgun form. Originally developed for military and police use, the real platform earned its reputation for being small, controllable, and easy to deploy in close quarters.
This licensed IWI version keeps that compact, aggressive styling, complete with folding stock and a detachable mock suppressor.
Key Features
- Licensed IWI replica design
- Blowback action for realistic semi-auto cycling
- Folding stock for compact carry and handling
- Detachable mock suppressor included
- 28-round BB magazine
- Double action only trigger
- Sliding safety
- Polymer frame with metal components
Performance / Use Case
This is very much a close-range, high-fun-factor platform rather than a precision shooter. The compact size and blowback action make it engaging to shoot, especially in short bursts.
Being a CO2 blowback system, you get a decent recoil feel, but as always with this category, gas efficiency takes a hit compared to non-blowback designs.
Accuracy is typical for a BB SMG-style platform, perfectly fine for reactive targets at short range, but not something you’d use for precision shooting work.
Build & Design
At 1.3kg, it sits in a sweet spot where it still feels solid without becoming cumbersome. The polymer and metal hybrid construction keeps weight down while maintaining enough rigidity for the blowback system.
The folding stock is one of the key features here, transforming it from a compact SMG-style pistol into something more stable when shouldered. The included mock suppressor adds to the visual authenticity, even if it’s purely cosmetic in function.
Controls are intentionally simple, with a double action only trigger and sliding safety keeping things straightforward.
