Default Pics of the Skorpion Machine pistol in use..

I am looking for pics of the Czech Vz61 skorpion, or the Serbian model, in use by soldiers or bodyguards. Actually, I cant find much pics at all besides the few that come up on Google searches.
Anyhow, Im hoping someone will have something cool.....Thanks again.

Very cool, nice to actually see a picture of a counter-terrorist using a Skorpion, for once.

Oooo they were godly in Call of Duty 4.

Heh,jokes/game references aside can the Skorpion go long-range?Seems to me its meant to be a secondary firearm rather then primary.Nice pictures btw!

Default Nice pics!

I am happy to see such nice pics! I have searched all over the net and I couldnt find any, except for the awesome Serbian one with the Suppresor.

I remember seeing a pic of a skorpion with a Bodyguard, but the pic was in a book...anyhow, Id love to see more, and Im sure others would too!

Also, as far as i know, the skorpion was a surprise, and turned out to be very effective in close range. Also, the 7.65 is deadlier than you might think. I saw a news story of a roberry in Britain, where the robbers had Skorpions in 9x18mm Makarov. I preferr the original 7.65 look though.

Does anyone know if a Czech Suppressor was creatred where the Folding stock could be closed and the suppressor still attached?? I saw this in an action movie that was filmed in Ukraine once..

Maximal effective range of the scorpion vz 61 is about 1.5 km...its special purpose automatic pistol or side arm.

1500 meters effective range? well... maybe the bullet can be dangerous in that distance but i will definitely not call it a effective range... I think that you can effectively aim at 100 - 150 meter...

But maybe 1500 m is a typing error?

LEVIABRAMOVICH: look for slovak police pics, Skorpion is issued to regular police officers as a sidearm in situations when they can meet dangerous criminals - like roadblocks when looking for someone etc. Skorpion is probably still used also by slovak special police or military units, but it was widely replaced by various HK SMGs.

However, Skorpion is still a standard SMG for "2nd grade" special units in former Czechoslovakia - for example czech elite prison guard unit - SWAT-like unit used to escort criminals from prison to court, to guard specific prisoners or to solve prison riots.

there are some czech or slovak members with police/military background, they may be more helpfull.

Sadly, I'll never be able to see this gun and not think of the Klobb from Goldeneye...

Not in the movie... but the Nintendo 64 game.

Unfortunately it was a terrible gun in the game.
