Skorpion



The vz. 61 (correctly Sa vz. 61 short for samopal vzor 61; submachine gun model 1961), or Škorpion (scorpion), is a Czechoslovak submachine gun. It is designed to fire 7.65 x 17 mm ammunition, also known as .32 ACP. Variants in 9 x 17 mm (.380 ACP), 9 x 18 mm Makarov, and 9 x 19 mm have also been reported.

The small sized gun was designed by Miroslav Rybář (1924-1970) to be used by paratroopers, special forces, crews of armored vehicles and helicopters and officers. Every policeman (member of Veřejná bezpečnost) in Czechoslovakia was also equipped with Škorpion as a supplemental weapon. The weapon was produced in Česká zbrojovka in Uherský Brod during 1962 - 1979. Around 210,000 units were produced. Since 1992 it is manufactured again under name samopal vzor 61 E. Under a license it was produced by Zavodi Crvena Zastava in former Yugoslavia.

Its light weight and small size make it a popular choice for personnel inside tanks, cars and airplanes, the latter would especially find useful the .32 ACP rounds' inability to penetrate airplane fuselage. It has also been used by terrorist groups. Although it fires a relatively weak round (.32 ACP) and has a short effective range of 25 meters, it is a very efficient weapon in close quarters combat (CQC) and widely used in Central and Eastern European nations.

Multiplayer
The Skorpion is one of the most weak weapons in multiplayer games that are not hardcore or oldskool, due to its inability to kill in one clip unless at point blank. The Skorpion does have a few rediming qualitys one being its ability to kill quickly if used correctly ie aiming down the sights and being patintent wich is almost impossible to due in a sit.
