Well D-91 Uzi Review
The Uzi is a submachine gun or machine pistol that was developed in Israel and designed by Major Uziel Gal in the 1940s. It was first introduced in 1954 to IDF or Israel Defense Force and was more of a personal defense weapon by artillery or tanker troops. It is estimated that the number of Uzis manufactured around the world is around 10 million pieces.
One of its successors, the Well D-91 Uzi has reached the attention of the Airsoft community. The Airsoft Uzi version of the Well D-91 is entirely made of plastic. It is manufactured by Well but its firing mechanism or the motor is made in China. It has a stock that fold under the rear part of the weapon. Extending the stock does not actually with the firing efficiency of D-91 so it’s not recommended to use the stock as it just adds hindrance while in the field.
There is a safety switch on the Well D-91 which switches from safe to fire only. The weapon comes with all sort of airsoft accessories such as a packet of BB pellets, a magazine, a charger, a nylon sling and an unjamming rod. The magazine is actually the battery. The battery should be charged for two hours only; an overcharged battery can get damaged. A fully charged battery can give an approximate of 6 hours of usage.
The weapon can be loaded by sliding the top part and pouring in BB pellets. It can hold up about 350 BBs and has a firing range of 50 feet which is nothing compared to other sub-machine guns out there in the market. Its firing rate can reach more than 200 feet per second and uses the hop-up system. Since it employs the use of gravity to feed the firing mechanism there are times when the weapon fires blanks when BB pellets don’t feed. The gear box is made of plastic so there is a slight chance of clogging when a part of it gets chipped.
Overall, this weapon, with its size and weight of 1.7 lbs without the battery, can pass for a backup weapon. Using it as a primary weapon is highly not recommended. Although its firing rate is moderate its range is enough for close skirmishes.
