Hello, model and prop maker here...
You say that this prop needs to fire a projectile. I am assuming given the disposable nature of the weapon this will be fired at a person? No go.
I'm assuming that this will be an amateur production without any paperwork/production number/insurance... No go.
If its for airsoft use then you would need to get inside it. You will also need to look into the law. I don't want to crush your enthusiasm but I don't think you realise just how much shit you can get in here.
Some details of what you plan to do with it would be very informative. Given its "story needs" I am pretty convinced that it's for filming. I am very concerned about set safety with anything gun shaped weather if fire blanks or a puff of smoke. You must have a scene outline... So how are you (or your actor) using it?

Just buy which ever uzi fits the dimensions required.
Scratch build a buck and vac-form a shell.
Wrap the rif.
Making thing overly complex will only drive the budget up.

Some might say building a vac form and making a buck isn't exactly easy or cheap. the OP was asking if there was anything cheaper than a Well AEP Uzi

That's not what I'm reading, I'm inferring that OP wants to make (and sell) collectible replicas of the film prop. I'd expect that the ostensible shootability is a gimmick and that they're never intended to be used
I wouldn't consider them realistic according to the "real firearm" clause of VCRA S38, and if he's starting from a sub 1.3J airsoft toy then they're not firearms for the purposes of the Firearms Act.
I could be wrong on all of that, but taking that interpretation, I can't see that there are any legal issues beyond those of dealing in any other non-realistic non-firearm airsoft toy, plus any intellectual property considerations from ripping off the movie.
