The vz.61 Skorpion (vz. means "vzor" in Czech, or model in English) submachine gun was designed as a dual purpose weapon, intended to be used as an close combat assault weapon as well as a personal defence weapon, instead of the pistols. Small size makes this weapon very suitable for concealed carry or for use in confined space, such as cars or aircrafts, so this gun became popular among both police, security and counter-terror units, as well as among some terroristic groups.

This machine pistol is designed by Czech designer By M. Ribarzhem at the end of the 50th it is annual. After the adoption of "scorpion" to the armament in 1961 series production began at the plant "it was Czech Zbroyevka" and it was called the second CZ 61. Marking CZ they sometimes substitute to Vz. - reduction from the Czech "version". Since 1963 it was supplied to the Czech police and different army subdivisions.  

The ammunition is supplied by curve magazines directly before the departure. The magazine size of 10 or 20 shot refers again to the proximity to the selbstladepistole. With the switchover lever over the grasp the weapon is set secured (0), on single-shot fire (1) or to sustained fire (20) and released.
