The Škorpion vz. 61 is a Czechoslovak machine pistol developed in 1959 by Miroslav Rybář and manufactured by Česká zbrojovka from 1963 to 1979. Initially designed for security forces, it was also adopted by the Czechoslovak Army as a sidearm for certain military personnel. The standard model fires .32 ACP rounds. Variants include the Yugoslavian M84 with a synthetic grip and a civilian semi-automatic M84A, available in .380 ACP. The Škorpion continues to be used by various countries' armed forces.

HISTORY

The Škorpion was developed in the late 1950s by Miroslav Rybář with the working name "model 59". The design was completed in 1961 and named "Samopal Vz. 61". It was subsequently adopted by the Czechoslovak Army and security forces, and later exported to various countries. It was also used by armed groups, including the Irish Republican Army, Irish National Liberation Army and the Italian Red Brigades. A total of 200,000 Škorpions were produced by the Czechoslovakians between 1961 and 1979. During the Vietnam War some turned up in the hands of North Vietnamese and Việt Cộng.
