	~~DESCRIPTION GOES HERE~~		The Vz. 48b/52 is a Czechoslovak submachine gun of the post–World War II “samopal” family, corresponding to the folding-stock Tokarev-caliber variant commonly known as the Sa vz. 26. It is an open-bolt, blowback-operated weapon chambered for 7.62×25mm Tokarev and fed from 32-round box magazines. The design is noted for its telescoping bolt and magazine-in-grip layout, which helped keep the weapon compact and well balanced.
	=HISTORY=		==HISTORY==
	~~TEXT GOES HERE~~		Czechoslovakia began developing a new submachine gun series in the late 1940s, adopting early versions in 1948 and then revising the design to meet a later requirement for the Soviet 7.62×25mm cartridge. This led to the wooden-stocked Model 24 and the folding-stock Model 26 entering service in the early 1950s, while retaining the same core mechanical approach: a simple open-bolt blowback action combined with a telescoping bolt and a pistol-grip magazine well. These features were influential beyond Czechoslovakia, as the “telescoping bolt + magazine-in-grip” concept became widely associated with later SMG designs.
	~~<br>~~[ ~~SOURCE~~]
			The Vz. 48b/52/Sa vz. 26 served as a standard Czechoslovak SMG for a relatively short period before being displaced by the 7.62×39mm vz. 58 as assault rifles took over many SMG roles. Large numbers were subsequently distributed internationally through sales and military aid, leading to appearances in a variety of Cold War conflicts. Reliable documentation of this exact variant’s use in Vietnam is limited compared with more commonly recorded SMGs, but the broader pattern of export and redistribution makes its presence in global conflict zones plausible.
