The '''Sa | The '''Sa vz. 58''' (''Samopal vzor 58''; "Submachine gun model 58") is a Czechoslovakian assault rifle designed in the 1950's. Although externally somewhat similar to the [[AK-47]] series of rifles, it is actually a much different weapon, with the internals being closer to those of the German [[Sturmgewehr 44|STG 44]] (with some differences). Despite firing the same cartridge (7.62x39mm) as the AK-47 variants, no vz. 58 part, including the magazine, is interchangeable with those of the AK-47. Though the term "Sa" (which is short for ''Samopal'', which means "submachine gun") is part of this firearm's official name, it is not a submachine gun as most firearms historians use the term. "Sa" was used for all subsequent select fire weapons that Czechoslovakia built and adopted after their last indigenous design, the [[vz. 52 Rifle|vz. 52 semi-automatic rifle]]. | ||
The original rifle has no provision for optics mounting. Most modern commercial examples and some special forces rifles have addressed this by the addition of a Soviet style side rail. | |||

The Sa vz. 58 (Samopal vzor 58; "Submachine gun model 58") is a Czechoslovakian assault rifle designed in the 1950's. Although externally somewhat similar to the AK-47 series of rifles, it is actually a much different weapon, with the internals being closer to those of the German STG 44 (with some differences). Despite firing the same cartridge (7.62x39mm) as the AK-47 variants, no vz. 58 part, including the magazine, is interchangeable with those of the AK-47. Though the term "Sa" (which is short for Samopal, which means "submachine gun") is part of this firearm's official name, it is not a submachine gun as most firearms historians use the term. "Sa" was used for all subsequent select fire weapons that Czechoslovakia built and adopted after their last indigenous design, the vz. 52 semi-automatic rifle.
The original rifle has no provision for optics mounting. Most modern commercial examples and some special forces rifles have addressed this by the addition of a Soviet style side rail.
The Sa vz. 58 and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
Sa vz. 58 P
The Sa vz. 58 P (Pěchotní; "Infantry") is the infantry variant of the Sa vz. 58, featuring a fixed wooden or synthetic stock.
