	The ~~Škorpion~~ vz. 61 is a Czechoslovak machine pistol ~~developed~~ in ~~1959 by Miroslav Rybář and manufactured by Česká zbrojovka from 1963 to 1979~~. ~~Initially~~ designed for security forces~~, it was also adopted by the Czechoslovak Army as~~ a ~~sidearm for certain military personnel~~. The ~~standard model fires~~ .~~32 ACP rounds. Variants include the Yugoslavian M84 with a synthetic grip~~ and a ~~civilian semi~~-~~automatic M84A~~, ~~available in .380 ACP. The Škorpion continues to be used by various countries' armed forces~~.		The vz. 61 Škorpion is a Czechoslovak selective-fire machine pistol chambered in [[.32 ACP]] (7.65×17mm Browning). It was designed as a compact personal-defense weapon for personnel such as vehicle crews and security forces who needed more firepower than a standard pistol. The vz. 61 is best known for its folding stock, controllable burst fire, and a built-in rate-reducing mechanism that helps tame its small, high-cadence action.
	=HISTORY=		==HISTORY==
	~~The Škorpion was developed~~ in ~~the late 1950s by~~ Miroslav Rybář with the ~~working name "model 59"~~. ~~The design was completed~~ in ~~1961~~ and ~~named "Samopal Vz~~. 61~~". It~~ was ~~subsequently adopted by the~~ Czechoslovak ~~Army and~~ security forces, ~~and later exported to various countries. It~~ was ~~also used by armed groups, including the Irish Republican Army, Irish National Liberation Army and the Italian Red Brigades~~. ~~A total of 200,000 Škorpions were produced by the Czechoslovakians between 1961 and 1979. During the Vietnam War some turned up in the hands of North Vietnamese and Viet Cong.~~		Development of the vz. 61 began in 1959 under designer Miroslav Rybář, with the goal of producing a compact automatic weapon that bridged the gap between a sidearm and a full-size submachine gun. Adopted in the early 1960s and produced by Česká zbrojovka at Uherský Brod, the vz. 61 was issued to Czechoslovak security forces and selected military personnel, typically as a defensive arm for roles where carrying a rifle was impractical.

	~~<hr>~~

			The vz. 61 was exported to various countries during the Cold War and later appeared in a wide range of regional conflicts, often in specialist or security-force roles. Compared with more common assault rifles and submachine guns, documentation of its use in Vietnam-era Southeast Asia is limited, and it is generally considered an uncommon sight relative to standard Soviet and Chinese small arms. Nevertheless, examples in museum collections and reference works highlight the Škorpion’s broader export footprint and long service life beyond its original domestic users.
