ZK-466: CZ Makes a Folding Submachine Gun
This video explores the ZK-466, a post-war Czechoslovakian submachine gun developed by Josef Koucky as part of a military competition. Featuring a 9x19mm open-bolt, simple blowback system, collapsing stock, and folding magazine well, it was designed in 1946. Despite being marketed as a pilot's survival weapon, it failed to find buyers and only 22 were produced. The video highlights its unique design, including the use of ZK-383 magazines, and its historical context within Czechoslovakian firearm development. Access to a rare prototype was provided by the Czech Military History Institute.
