MSAU

This is my second Uzi but unlike the earlier one this one is larger and true semi-automatic with a removable magazine but it still uses the same ammo. Really it should be called a MAC 10 but I prefer Uzi. This is an improved version of my earlier MSAU which has the problems rectified.

Pros:
-Strong
-Accurate
-Semi-auto
-Removable magazine
-Doesn't use too many pieces
-Can have optional front grip and stock
-Rather easy to use

Cons:
-Handle might be uncomfortable for some people
-Can be hard to load at first (But becomes easier with some practice)

More Instructables by me.

Note concerning problems in the earlier version of the MSAU: This is an improved version of my earlier MSAU! This version has the problems fixed! The trigger system is stronger and the magazine holds better to the gun. It still may disconnect from the gun by accident but it has been reinforced and will withstand most conditions except the most violent and strong movements during which the magazine/handle may disconnect from the gun.

Note concerning images: Image one shows the MSAU with optional additions. Image two shows the basic version. Image 3 shows version compatible with additions but without them.

Loading and Firing

This gun loads and fires like most of my guns like my MAR, MAR-2, and MBAR. To load you first remove the magazine and put the pin in place, and then you insert the ammo which is shown in the image below. Then you insert the magazine into the appropriate place until it firmly holds in place. They you push the white rods over the ammo feed out to the side and you take the rubber-bands and hook them on the tip of the barrel and then on the spoke in the back of the gun. Then you push the white rods back into place and pull the pin out of the magazine. To shoot you pull the trigger.
