Father of the Scorpion machine guns Miroslav Rybář
After the introduction of the automatic rifle (according to the current terminology of the assault rifle) Sa vz.58 into the army's armament, there was a need to arm commanders, but also scouts, vehicle crews, etc. with a small weapon firing shoulder-fired bursts, which could also be fired with one hand, like a pistol.
The development of the Scorpions for special forces was carried out by Ing. Rybář with a two-year break from 1959 until 1968.
