“The Vz 61 (correctly Sa vz 61 short for samopal vzor 61; submachine gun model 1961), or Škorpion, is a Czechoslovakian 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.Its light weight and small size make it a popular choice for personnel inside aircraft, tanks and cars. It also been used within 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 combat and widely used in Eastern European nations.
The Skorpion can be fired in single shot or fully automatic mode and features an ambidextrous cocking handle. It can be carried in a holster, and can be fired with either one hand or two hands gripping the gun. This along with the extendable stock gives it a longer effective range than most pistols of the same caliber.
The Skorpion is employed by Serbia and Montenegro as the M61 and M84.
The gun has been featured on many films and video games, such as xXx (starring Vin Diesel), The Matrix, Con Air, Face Off, Executive Decision, Equilibrium, GoldenEye 007 (under the name “Klobb” after game designer Ken Lobb, the gun was originally intended to be named “Spyder” to resemble “Skorpion”), Syphon Filter 3, S.W.A.T. 3, Metal Gear Ac!d, Operation Flashpoint Resistance, and Metal Gear Solid 3. It is also available in Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield as both a primary and secondary weapon.
It was also used in the SciFi series Battlestar Galactica.”
