This video features Brownells Gun Tech™ and firearm historian Keith Ford showcasing the Czech Vz 61 Škorpion machine pistol. The Vz 61 is a blowback-operated firearm chambered in .32 ACP, distinct from the modern CZ Scorpion Evo 3. The presenter highlights its skeletal folding stock, AR-15-like trigger group, and AR-180-style dual recoil springs. While the standard model is select-fire, Keith's example is semi-auto only. The Vz 61's historical service with Czechoslovakian forces and its use by various groups like the PLO, Red Army Faction, and IRA are discussed. Its Yugoslavian license-produced variant, the Zastava M84, is also mentioned. The video suggests that attaching a stock can enhance the shooting experience, even with the less powerful .32 ACP round, and notes the ATF Form 1 and SBR tax stamp process.
This video review focuses on the Yugoslav M84 PKM machine gun, with the host arguing it's the best universal machine gun. The review highlights its balance of capabilities and cost, drawing parallels to the MG42. Key features praised include its controllability, manageable weight, integrated iron sights (with optical sight compatibility), robust belt system, ease of maintenance, durability, and effective sealing against dirt. The video also touches on the visual impression of the gun's moving parts in high-speed footage and thanks Marstar for access. The host's personal preference for the PKM as a sole machine gun choice is a central theme.
This video delves into the Yugoslav M84 PKM, a variant of the iconic PK machine gun developed by Mikhail Kalashnikov's team.

The description highlights the PKM's ruggedness, reliability, and relative lightness, dubbing it potentially the best universal machine gun ever produced. The video thanks Marstar for providing the M84 for examination and shooting.
