Maruzen – VZ61 Scorpion Gas Blowback GBB
A small sub machine gun that was developed as a self-defence weapon for vehicle and aircraft crews by Czech Slovakia, a state-owned firearms manufacturer known as an industrial powerhouse even in the former communist bloc, and was officially adopted in 1961 as the “Vz61”. It has a very compact body that is not much different from a large pistol, and uses the 32ACP bullet widely used in Western medium-sized self-defence pistols to facilitate recoil control when shooting with one hand.
It is equipped with a foldable wire stock that can be stored in the upper part of the receiver, and it is also known as the Scorpion because the movement when the stock is deployed resembles the tail of a scorpion. Due to its small size, light weight and excellent practicality, it was widely adopted by the security forces and special forces of the communist bloc countries, and it is known that many were provided to communist terrorist organizations supported by the eastern countries. .
Maruzen has brought up the Vz61 Scorpion as a gas blowback submachine gun that provides an enjoyable, powerful full-auto blowback shooting experience in a compact sized body that can be carried like a side arm!
After firing all bullets, the hold-open function works just like the real thing, and the functionality is realistically reproduced, such as field stripping (simple disassembly for maintenance) that can be performed just by removing the hinge pin!
