The SA vz-58 (sometimes erroneously called the CZ58) 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. 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.
Actors in the following films, television series, and video games can be seen using the Vz.58:
Film
- Ngoc Le as the Việt Cộng sniper in Full Metal Jacket
- Roger Moore as James Bond in Octopussy
- Serbian soldiers in Behind Enemy Lines
- A Serbian gangster and Kim Bodnia as Harald in In China They Eat Dogs
In the special features portion of the DVD version of Doom, with Karl Urban and Dwayne Johson, the actors are shown using the vz58 during their weapons and tactics training.
