This video features Brownells Gun Tech™ and firearm historian Keith Ford showcasing the Czech Vz 61 Škorpion machine pistol. The Vz 61 is a blowback-operated firearm chambered in .32 ACP, distinct from the modern CZ Scorpion Evo 3. The presenter highlights its skeletal folding stock, AR-15-like trigger group, and AR-180-style dual recoil springs. While the standard model is select-fire, Keith's example is semi-auto only. The Vz 61's historical service with Czechoslovakian forces and its use by various groups like the PLO, Red Army Faction, and IRA are discussed. Its Yugoslavian license-produced variant, the Zastava M84, is also mentioned.
