This episode of the Evike.com's "The Gun Corner", Matt talks about a small gas blowback SMG from the KWA that really stings, the KWA KZ61 Skorpion GBB SMG which you can order from their store for US$189.95... "Development of the vz. 61 Škorpion was initiated in the late 1950s, with the intent to provide various non-infantry units with a lightweight, personal defense weapon that brought more firepower than the standard pistol.

First prototypes of the new weapon were built in 1959 and was officially adopted by the Czechoslovak Army in 1961. Although the vz. 61 Škorpion was created for the Czech Army, a few Škorpions found their way into the hands of various niche groups, which favored the weapon for its small size and the subsonic capabilities of the .32 ACP cartridge.

The KWA kz. 61 Škorpion Submachine Gun features a removable folding stock, ambidextrous charging knobs, and two select-fire modes. The short overall length of the kz. 61 Škorpion makes it ideal for close quarter engagements, or as a sidearm for individuals who want a larger volume of fire from their secondary.
