Sub-machine gun "Scorpion". Submachine gun "Scorpion EVO 3"

The submachine gun "Scorpio Evo 3" was developed by the Czech arms company in 2009. PP was created not only to work in a confined space. Although it was intended for police officers and special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it can be successfully used not only during special operations. In urban conditions, the machine gun "Scorpio Evo 3" allows you to hit the target, which is at a short distance.

Introduction

This weapon has some specific features that distinguish it from similar weapons. About them, by the way, the article will also be discussed. For example, his combat rate of fire, which allows to discharge a full magazine (with a capacity of 30 rounds) for the entire (!) And a half seconds.

Start of development

The initiator of the process was the Slovak firm. It was there that the development of this model of weapons started. According to the early classification, "Scorpion" is a submachine gun designed for use by law enforcement officers for defensive purposes. To enter service in the power structures, weapons were supposed to be back in 2005.

Approximately at the same time, the corresponding prototype was presented to the respective audience. But something went wrong, and for some reason the real output of the submachine gun did not take place. But a couple of years later the Czech company donated a lot of money to buy the rights to manufacture weapons.

Thus, Czech gunsmiths opened their way to improving the samples of Slovak origin. A little "poshamaniv" over the design, they presented the state representatives of the armed forces an updated model called "Evo 3 Scorpio". The submachine gun was simply praised by experts. Well, we can only figure out whether this was relevant. A little later we will do just that: list the advantages of the weapon and its, as it was stated, "innovative technologies" to understand whether a Czech submachine gun of Slovak origin deserved its title.

Differences from other models

Today, there are many models of the appropriate weapon class on the arms market. The "Scorpion EVO 3" submachine gun differs from other members of its class primarily in appearance. He, you might say, looks quite aggressive. It should be noted that this is not just an idea of designers, which they suddenly came to mind.

The submachine gun "Scorpion" (Skorpion), if you look closely, has non-removable ribs installed on different sides of this, let's say, a miniature machine gun. As you know, in most cases, the ribs are attached to the weapon in the event that you want to equip it with additional attachments. That is, tactical equipment.

But in this case everything is somewhat different. Of course, the ribs can fulfill their direct duty in case of the occurrence of corresponding situations. However (again, if you look closely), you can see small slits here. Their presence makes it possible to cool the weapon. Consequently, the submachine gun used on the battlefield will be able to "live" a much longer "life" than its counterparts.

Monitoring the state of ammunition

The basis for creating the Evo 3 model was the CZ VZ 61 "Scorpion" submachine gun. But in our copy one "chip" is realized, which favorably distinguishes EVO from other models. This is a transparent clip. It not only gives unusual weapons, but also affects its practicality.

Thanks to this design feature, soldiers at any time can control how many rounds are left before the store is discharged completely. In practice, it turned out that this feature plays not the least role in the emergence of a quick battle.

Transparent clip is not the only innovation that Czech gunsmith designers brought to the PP. Honestly, they are many. Well, let's see how the engineers were able to please the Czech commandos still.

"Hockey Trap"

This structural feature, characteristic of the Scorpio Evo 3, allows a soldier or a police officer to control a weapon even if he holds it with only one hand. At the top of the handle is a fuse, which allows to transfer the submachine gun from a safe state to a combat one with one finger only.

Basically, the weapon is made of high-impact plastic. But there are also metal inserts in the butt area. Thanks to this feature, the weapon can be called almost perfectly balanced. Consequently, the submachine gun is perfectly in the hand, without causing any discomfort for the person using it.

Customize the weapon, as they say, any fighter can. This has become largely possible due to the fact that the parts are made in a regulated form. The application can be folded, so that the transfer of weapons becomes more comfortable.

Caliber

Perhaps the most common nowadays is the caliber 9x19. It is used as an ammunition for the pistol Yarygin (Russia), as well as for Beretta (Italy), ultrasound (Israel). Thus, if servicemen using the Scorpio Evo find themselves in almost any corner of the globe, they will not have problems finding ammunition.

The model boasts also its high reliability. The thing is that the design of the submachine gun does not involve the use of parts that can break. The development of weapons used a modular principle. That, in turn, allowed for quick disassembly-assembly.

Indeed, the "Evo" consists of only 5 parts. This supply spring and the bolt frame, butt, shop and shock-trigger mechanism. By the way, you can pay attention to the mine for the clip. As you can see, it is much wider than what is done in other submachine guns. But this is not a flaw.

In the heat of battle and in stressful situations, a policeman or a serviceman may have trouble entering a store into the mine. Using the expanded mine in the "Scorpio Evo" crosses out this problem to the root. After the ammunition is cleared, the shutter window will remain open, which indicates to the operator that it is necessary to reload.
