Article Name
What's with the SA? This is a Samopal Vzor 1961 submachine gun, commonly shortened to Vz.61, made by Česká Zbrojovka Uhersky Brod, usually known as CZ. Nothing in the name ought to be abbreviated as SA except concievably Samopal, and that not in English. Surely this article ought to be called "CZ Vz.61 Skorpion"
Submachine Gun vs. Machine Pistol
A machine pistol is a type of submachine gun. Why is this even an issue? BurtReynoldsMoustache 18:27, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Vz.61 or Vz 61?
Which is correct? - Mr. Wolf 10:12, 25 May 2011 (CDT)
- I think it's a Mr / Mr. thing, both are but the dot is more formal. Evil Tim 10:16, 25 May 2011 (CDT)
- Actually the correct form is vz. (all small letters). Source, official CZ site: [1], scroll down to see the Samopal and Skorpion. bozitojugg3rn4ut 10:51, 25 May 2011 (CDT)
M61?
Was this weapon ever referred to as an "M61" in any official form? The reason I ask is that I read part of a (sadly misinformed) critic's article on Pulp Fiction, which referred to the MAC-10 in that film as a "Czech M61 submachine gun", and the Skorpion was the closest thing I can think of that fits the name. MrOshimida27 20:09, 6 August 2011 (CDT)
- well the Skorpion is called "Vz .61", so there might be version of the Skorpion called "M61" but I'm not really sure. - Mr. Wolf 02:01, 7 August 2011 (CDT)
- "Vz" stands for "Vzor" which means "Model". So they basically meant "Model 61" with "M61". - bozitojugg3rn4ut 03:47, 7 August 2011 (CDT)
- Right. ;) - Mr. Wolf 14:38, 7 August 2011 (CDT)
Skorpion family
If this page covers all the different variants, should it be renamed? Doesn't vz. 61 only describe the .32 ACP model? --Funkychinaman 16:42, 29 December 2011 (CST)

Unknown Skorpion model
In the game "The Secret World", I barely managed to catch a glimpse of a Skorpion. I could not identify it at the time. I'm pretty sure there is only one model in the game. On a side note, why isn't there a page for the game mentioned before? Thanks. Barrett50
CZ SCORPION EVO 3 question?
I been looking all over but yet haven't found information on when the CZ SCORPION EVO 3 was first designed, produced and then adopted by Czech Armed Forces, doea anyone have info on this? Z008MJ (talk) 19:24, 6 December 2012 (EST)
Vz. 82/83 ?
