CSA VZ 61 Skorpion Review

In our opinion, this is one of the most unique and fun to shoot firearm available to Canadians. It shoots a low recoil 32 ACP projectile that is easily kept on target while still giving the shooter a pleasant recoil impulse. There are a lot of different versions, manufactures and calibers that you can find. You can pick these up from around $650-$800.

I'm in the US and got the chance to shoot one of these in full auto last year. It's just way too much fun. Watching the cases flying out the top is I have to admit very cool. :) Yep, I want one. -Jen

It would have been brought in by the importer as a non-pistol "commericial version" and submitted as so to the RCMP for classification in order to skirt the prohibition on .32 and .25 calibre handguns. If it was brought in as a "handgun" then it would be prohibited, not restricted. Having it as a "commercial version" or basically a carbine/short barrelled rifle (legally) allows it to be sold/imported BUT gives it a 5 round magazine limit as all semi automatic centre fire firearms are supposed to.

Thanks for the informative comment!

[@RussellHoughton]

Remember 32 cal pistols are prohibited here that's why it's a 5 round mag.

[@CanFirearmsReview]

+Russell Houghton (Russ303) good call, still drives me nuts with the Canadian firearm laws. Thanks for your input!

[@ericferguson9989]

So...that's why it's not prohibited even though it fires the ghastly overpowered .32! It's not a pistol. Check. Do they have a long barrelled, non-restricted with the phoney barrel shroud?

[@hedsy]

No. Restricted only. You can find these in 22lr with a 20rnd mag. It's nice because it is a restricted "rifle" not a pistol so there is no mag cap on Rimfire cartridges and it's not pinned to 5. Or 10 if it was a "pistol".

[@webster7710]

I came really close to buying one of these a while back. Can't remember why I didn't now. Looks like a lot of fun!

[@r1-le801]

Thank you guys for these reviews! Interesting guns that ive been saving for suggested from this channel!

[@retomaissen2693]

Thanks for this Presentation and Information!! I have ordered my vz61 and i hope it comes in this December. ( Sorry for mi english, i am from Switzerland😊)

[@VTS1911]

Very cool looking gun, in my country you can find it with the stock and 2 20 rounds mag for $400 used and new for $500, incredible price, at least for me :D

[@Leviathan02464]

Great video. Just pre ordered the new version in .22LR a caliber much more common than .32 or .380 up here

[@rolandh8058]

I'm thinking of ordering one, if they don't sell out before I make up my mind. Does the 22LR version really have 20 round mags, not pinned or anything? That makes it all the more tempting.

[@hedsy]

Yes. They are 20rnd mags. Rimfire rifles do no have a mag capacity limit unlike a pistol. These are registered as restricted rifles. Welcome to Canada lol

[@bsmith8297]

Awesome review, I just picked up one in 380 and on in 765 browning (32acp)

[@ToastytheG]

:40 .32 acp is not an intermediate cartridge. It is a small pistol cartridge.

[@LEECHESANDCREAM]

So if they sold it without the stock, and sold the stock separate, would it be a pistol? Because it would be nice to have 10 rounds.

[@XraygogsTV]

+LEECHESANDCREAM It would then be prohibited because of barrel length. The only reason this firearm got by the RCMP was because someone decided to call it a "carbine"

[@lustmaster770]

if it were a pistol it would be phrohib based on caliber. 25 and 32acp pistols are a no go here

[@TheJames2929]

I love my m84 skorpion :) it's my go to gun

[@Raavenart229]

Where does on even get this gun these days? I've been looking for one for months

[@360bowman]

Your guy’s Eskimo Gun laws are so confusing but damn do you have cool guns

[@vladimirvolkhov6786]

Here in the states we're not allowed to have it with the stock on it, because or out retarded short-barreled rifle laws. You have to apply for a special license, and then you have to have an adapter to be put on the back of the firearm, it's a real hassle.

[@adamg574]

$1100 now. Inflation sucks.

[@tomsmith5483]

Thanks for this video. I just bought a VZ61 in .22LR from Ellwood Epps, they had two. I should receive it this week. Do you know of a way to stop the marring of the finish on the receiver done by the cocking pins?Tommy.

[@rrrr7659]

Is the stock comfortable? The LOP looks way too short for a human being.

[@takomerp]

People here shoot the original .32 acp Skorpion by resting it against their cheek. It's unnatural, I know, but because of the low powered cartridge it didn't even give me a bruise nor was it uncomfortable.

[@takomerp]

Resting the stock against their cheek, I meant.

[@Petr1331]

You should rest the holster on your cheecks, that’s how was it meant. There is no recoil. Than you have no problem with sights.

[@tiptopexteriors9374]

right on man great vid a friend of mine has one I might pick one up just to have..... you kinda gotta have one of those as a true red blood Canadian 😆

[@stalkerface3180]

How is the accuracy on full-auto?

[@KebeQ]

stalker face full auto is illegal

[@stalkerface3180]

+Crytech Lol thanks

[@Sagaris380]

How do you buy Prohib 32acp? your clearly not old enough To have a 12(c) license.

[@CanFirearmsReview]

This classified as restricted. One, if not the only 32 acp classified as such.

[@Sagaris380]

+CanFirearmsReview Oh ok. So did the RCMP declassify 32acp because I thought the ammo its self was prohib? or because you own a restricted 32acp then your exempt from that? Thanks. great review.

[@omniferousswan593]

32acp pistols are prohibited. This isn't a pistol.

[@Phasmomancer]

$1400

[@AP02112]

Our laws are way too confusing:(

[@CanFirearmsReview]

+andrew page Agreed!

[@armandkinghorn4002]

Only a canadian would call it an intermediate cartrige

[@Jasonz1919]

So is it non restrict lol

[@XraygogsTV]

+Jasonz1919 nope

[@CanFirearmsReview]

Restricted

[@FL-Kman]

Ahhh the klobb

[@durayenterprisesllc4440]
