A full-auto Czech [[submachine gun]] designed in the early 60s, initially chambered in .32 ACP (7.65x17mm Browning) and later in 9mm Makarov, 9mm Parabellum and .380 ACP. Features a collapsible stock and a 10/20 round magazine. At its introduction during the Cold War it was originally intended (an served mostly) as a compact (but potent) sidearm for [[tank]] crews and other [[military vehicle]] operators. Even today, it is in active service in the Czech [[military]] (now issued mainly to guards) and in elite [[police]] squads. Being ultra-compact and easily concealable, as well as almost recoilless and moderately accurate up to 100m, the Skorpion is very suitable for a "PDW":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_defense_weapon role, and has found use by both criminals and law-enforcement units.
