| − | The '''''Škorpion''''' ("Scorpio") is a compact Czech submachine gun/machine pistol manufactured by [[CZ|Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod]] and used by law enforcement agencies and military forces since the 1960s. Although it was developed for security forces, it was also adopted by the Czechoslovak army as a personal defense weapon for personnel of lower military ranks, drivers of vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and special forces. The incredible compactness and ergonomics of the weapon, coupled with its extreme controllability even with full-auto fire, made it popular and desirable. The Škorpion has been widely imported and used all over the world; while it has been accepted by a number of law enforcement agencies and military forces, it has also become notorious in light of its similar popularity among terrorists, most notably the Irish Republican Army and Italian Red Brigades. | + | The '''''Škorpion''''' ("Scorpio") is a compact Czech submachine gun/machine pistol manufactured by [[CZ|Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod]] and used by law enforcement agencies and military forces since the 1960s. Originally created by Miroslav Rybář in 1959 as the Š-59, it was adopted in 1961 as the Samopal vzor 61, and launched into mass production in 1963. Although it was developed for security forces, it was also adopted by the Czechoslovak army as a personal defense weapon for personnel of lower military ranks, drivers of vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and special forces. The incredible compactness and ergonomics of the weapon, coupled with its extreme controllability even with full-auto fire, made it popular and desirable. The Škorpion has been widely imported and used all over the world; while it has been accepted by a number of law enforcement agencies and military forces, it has also become notorious in light of its similar popularity among terrorists, most notably the Irish Republican Army and Italian Red Brigades. |
A separate highlight is its use in the USSR; while it was never been officially adopted, there is repeated evidence of its use for special purposes, including use by special forces of the KGB and MIA, VIP guards, and service in the security of strategic facilities. While the standard .32 caliber version was mainly used, there are claims that the 9x18mm version was also used. | A separate highlight is its use in the USSR; while it was never been officially adopted, there is repeated evidence of its use for special purposes, including use by special forces of the KGB and MIA, VIP guards, and service in the security of strategic facilities.

Revision as of 17:08, 3 January 2023
The Škorpion ("Scorpio") is a compact Czech submachine gun/machine pistol manufactured by Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod and used by law enforcement agencies and military forces since the 1960s. Originally created by Miroslav Rybář in 1959 as the Š-59, it was adopted in 1961 as the Samopal vzor 61, and launched into mass production in 1963. Although it was developed for security forces, it was also adopted by the Czechoslovak army as a personal defense weapon for personnel of lower military ranks, drivers of vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and special forces. The incredible compactness and ergonomics of the weapon, coupled with its extreme controllability even with full-auto fire, made it popular and desirable. The Škorpion has been widely imported and used all over the world; while it has been accepted by a number of law enforcement agencies and military forces, it has also become notorious in light of its similar popularity among terrorists, most notably the Irish Republican Army and Italian Red Brigades.
A separate highlight is its use in the USSR; while it was never been officially adopted, there is repeated evidence of its use for special purposes, including use by special forces of the KGB and MIA, VIP guards, and service in the security of strategic facilities. While the standard .32 caliber version was mainly used, there are claims that the 9x18mm version was also used.

Sa vz. 82 Skorpion
The 9x18mm model vz. 82 is denoted by its straight magazine, unlike the curved magazine of the .32 ACP vz. 61 Skorpion. Note: this weapon was never produced in large quantities (despite statements in some sources that it replaced vz. 61 in the service), therefore, the variants available for appearance in live-action media will likely be civilian semi-auto (initially) versions, such as the vz. 91S and vz. 61 Pistol.
