Photos of the Skorpion submachine gun were posted at MP.net. I thought I would post some of them here.
It is interesting to see the short 10 round magazine being used in the field. I had always assumed they were only used by police when using the Skorpion as a “pistol”. 10 rounds of .32 ACP or 9mm does not seem like much these days when ultra compact .32 ACP pistols like the Kel-Tec P-32 hold 7+1.

Friday Gunzookery – 01 Aug 2008…
No longer sanctuaries Linoge gets some comments from someone who was at the Knoxville UU church during the attack. Why don’t more churches call for gun control? Who knows? Doesn’t everyone everywhere favor gun control? I know criminals do. D.C…….
I have never understood the benefit of such a weapon. Less powerful than a service pistol, yet larger and more difficult to pack and carry. They are interesting none the less.
This is the most ineffective weapon considering its impact,in no real terrorist situation it was used effectively.Why do they exist?They exist because left wing terrorist groups are really into passing their so called actions or ideas into females or teenagers-who are aimed for brainwashing also.It is lightweight and light recioil.Thats where Skorpion comes into actions,something like ” pass the torch,share our crimes” game.
