Based on this SMG classic with the characteristic folding wire shoulder stock and upward case ejection, CZ developed a modern "Scorpion" successor model in 9mm Luger, which was purchased by the Ministry of Defense of the Czech Republic for the armed forces in 2010. Caliber variants in 9mm short, 9mm Makarov and 9mm Luger followed. The theoretical rate of firing is 750 rounds per minute. ![]() The SMG with 4.52”/115 mm barrel length and magazine capacity of up to 30 rounds was also very interesting from the technical point of view for its inertial rate reducer device. ![]() The lineage of our current test gun goes back to the late 1950s, when Czech engineer Miroslav Rybář (March 12,1924 – December 6, 1970) conceived of a compact, straight-blowback operated submachine gun in 7.65 mm Browning, which was manufactured as the "Samopal Vzor 61" (SA VZ.61) – and nicknamed "Scorpion" – by CZ in the period from 1961 to about 1979.
