History

The CZ `Skorpion vz. 61 ("Samopal vzor 61" or "submachine gun model 1961") is a Czech machine pistol. It is chambered in 7.65x17mm Browning (.32 ACP), though variants in 9x17mm (.380 ACP), 9x18mm Makarov, and 9x19mm have also been reported. Its rate of fire of 850 RPM is unusually high for a submachine gun.
The `Skorpion vz. 61 was designed by Miroslav RybáY to be used as a sidearm. The weapon was produced in eská zbrojovka in Uherský Brod during 1962 - 1979. Around 210,000 units were produced. In 1992, manufacturing resumed. It was also produced by Zavodi Crvena Zastava in former Yugoslavia under license.
Its light weight and small size make it a very popular choice for personnel inside tanks, cars and airplanes. It has also been used by terrorist groups. Although it fires a relatively weak round (.32 ACP), has a short effective range of 25 meters and its magazine only holds 20 rounds, its compactness and rate of fire allow it to be useful. However, despite its advantages in weight and overall size, it has been reported to be uncomfortable to fire with its stock extended and difficult to aim and use with its high rate of fire. In the early 1970s, a 3-round burst firing mode was incorporated in the weapon and a suppressor and solid walnut stock became available. Later models could also accept laser sights and optics.

Singleplayer

The Skorpion is used infrequently by Ultranationalists and Loyalists. It is found in Blackout, Safehouse, The Sins of the Father and Mile High Club.

At extremely close range, it packs 50 damage per bullet, more than any other submachine gun in the game. And to top it off, it spits out bullets at 850 rounds per minute, which is faster than both the MP5 and the AK-74u. This makes the Skorpion almost as effective as shotguns at this range. It does poor damage per bullet at medium and long range, but its other statistics show that it's extremely effective at any range, including long distances.

This is probaly the most accurate gun in the game, with its high accuracy rate and tiny recoil. This gun packs a punch but with its small clip you might be reloading every one or two kills which is a major set back to this gun.
