Received my Uzi Pro from iHobby today, didn’t get a chance to shoot it before work thou, will fiddle with it tomorrow.
AK Gelblaster has already done a video on YouTube covering this blasters teardown etc so I wont go into the details they cover.
Most of the structure is nylon, with the top rail/battery cover, magazine, those two large pins on the lower and charging handle, the muzzle thread protector as well as the rear plate for stock adaption are metal, although the pins and mag are the only things that are magnetic so I assume the other parts are aluminium or something. good bit of weight, particularly top heavy ,naturally, although it balances out a bit once a mag is inserted.
oddly the stock plate has threaded hole instead of just drilled ones. I’ll be designing a stock adaptor to go on there at some point.
Battery actually doesn’t look like one of those cheap shitty ones. Thought these ran 7.4v but turns out it 11.1v. Very small battery too but still couldn’t get it to fit in the battery cavity.
Magazine feels pretty sturdy, plate on the base slides off allowing the internals to slide out the bottom…
…in the same style as the CYMA mags and others, only a small detent holds it in place but it’s fairly snug so I don’t have any concerns about it coming off on it’s own.
two tabs on the top stop the internals from coming out the top, it’s just a square metal tube otherwise. even with no internals it still pretty rigid, no flexing.
aforementioned lack of batter space, AKGB suggests using a mock PEQ battery box to store a larger battery but there’s no clear way to run the short cable outside the body without modification, but will investigate this more once I start pulling things apart more.
Bevel and Sector gear use bearings whilst the Spur is just a bushing. No idea on these motors, I know they’re still upgradable but that’s about the extent of my knowledge.
FCU in the rear with a micro switch for the mag prime, this is a self timed prime too, so you pull the charging handle, release and it runs the mag for about a second or two. I does however only do this when it’s not in safe.
The fire selector is also just an electronic switch so even in safe the trigger can still move, thou it does have the grip safety like the beaver tail safeties on Hi-Capa’s.
The “Blowback” is just a the dust cover ejection port that cycles with the piston and is simply attached by a square peg protruding out the side of the gearbox under the motor
Built in hop-up is yet to be seen how effective it is, non adjustable seems like a but of a half arsed effort but we’ll see, again AKGB suggests replacing the barrel with a slightly longer one and using a standard hop-up in their video
the outer barrel is nylon but the 14mm CCW thread is flat on the top and bottom so you don’t have to worry about damaging the thread if you grub screw on a muzzle device or something.
quality pics too, always appreciated.
