JG Skorpion (V61) Available Soon

OptimusPrime

Finally, thisis definitely going to be available at Airsoft World/Airsoft Scotland... "These must be the longest wait we have ever had for a JG gun! Originally destined for release in the Summer of 2008, the Beijing Olympics put pressure on gun exports from China and just when they were about to go into production.....the metal casting moulds were seized!

Anyhoo, we've now got 48 100% confirmed on air freight (they left China on Saturday 13th Dec) and we will have them JUST before Xmas closing time as long as Customs don't mess us about again...

The sea freight of 500 units (including Two-Tone blue ones) will be here mid January. We will not be Two-toning any of the original 48, sorry.

Comes with a 90rd mid-cap magazine, 700mAh AEP battery and a basic charger.

Fires at approx. 300fps in semi and full-auto modes!

The Scorpion submachine gun is an interesting little weapon which is somewhat hard to classify - is it a machine pistol (a full-automatic weapon for single-hand fire) or a submachine gun (also an automatic weapon, but for shoulder fire). Either way, there are pros and cons. Nevertheless, this weapon deserved its place in history of firearms. Its development was initiated in late 1950s, with intent to provide various non-infantry units with lightweight personal defense weapon that is more effective than a pistol, but is no more obtrusive. Another niche for Scorpion was use by various special forces, because the selected cartridge, known as 7,65x17 Browning / .32 ACP can be easily silenced. First prototypes of a new weapon were built in 1959, and official adoption followed in 1961, under designation of "Samopal Vzor 1961" (submachine gun model of 1961), or SA Vz.61 in short. This weapon was issued to various units in Czechoslovak army, and also widely exported. Licensed version of the Scorpion was produced in Yugoslavia, where it was widely issued as an military officer's sidearm. At least few Scorpions found its way to the hands of various terrorist groups, which favored it for its small size and ease of silencing. It also can be easily fired singe-handedly, like most pistols."
