Btw: The Island they are filming it on is called "Střelecký ostrov" - meaning "Shooters island" and was used by Prague shooters club from 1600s - the club members even stopped Swedish amphibious invasion in 1640s during the siege of Prague in Thirty Years' War.

The Czech firearm history goes "a bit" further than that. Handheld firearms were used since the beginning of 15th century and heavily utilized in Hussite wars - probably the largest utilization of small firearms on European battlefields at the time. The gun used back then was called "píšťala", which translates as whistle. The word eventually spread into other languages and served as a base for contemporary word "pistol".

I was stationed in Germany from 1984-1987 and I bought a new genuine CZ-75 from the Rod & Gun Club for about $175 When I got back to the states, I took it to a gun show in Fort Worth, looking for a holster for it, and nearly every dealer was salivating. I had a dozen offers of over $700 for it, and eventually one offered $850 and I sold it to him. At the time, I was amazed, and had no idea that they were simply impossible to get here in the states. At the time though, that $850 was a ton of money and I thought they were all crazy. (My issue gun was a 1911 (air defense Redeye and Stinger gunner) and they had started distributing the Baretta 9mm shortly before I rotated back, so I had no love affair with the CZ. - It shot good and was reliable, but no way I thought it was worth what I got for it.) Of course, looking back, it is one of the few guns I wish I had held on to. Another that slipped away was the Dan Wesson Pistol Pack with all 4 barrels in an attaché case that I brought back.

Ha. I have a VZ.24, which was the first gun I ever bought with my own money. I got it for $99 in 1999. The bore was shot out, and the stock is so beat up, that I’m convinced it had to have been issued during WWII and was probably used to beat someone to death on the Eastern Front. I will never get rid of it.

Talking about history of firearms and Czechia, it's worth mentioning that English (and a bunch of other languages) derived the words "pistol" and "howitzer" from the Czech "píšťala" (flute) and houfnice (a gun for firing against crowds (crowd is houf in Czech)), both originally used during the Hussite wars of 15th century.

A really cool thing about Czech Republic that a lot of people don't realize is that it's pretty much the only place in the EU, along with Slovakia to a lesser extent, where you can conceal carry and easily obtain a licence as a regular civilian. Also unlimited size mags and JHPs. Pretty sure everywhere else in the EU it's basically impossible to carry.

The most important aspect of that legislation is, that if you fulfill the requirements given by law (clean crime record (including drunk driving etc), passed medical exams and passed gun exams (theoretical test, gun manipulation test and shooting test), getting the permission is guaranteed. There is no option for a clerk to say "No". Also, there is no reason or use case needed.

They're drinking different wines. White wine is often served cold, and even where it's not you don't want it to get warm, so you hold the glass by the base or the stem so your hot lil' hands don't warm it up. I tend to think this is rather silly if you're at a dinner party or something, but for a situation like this where you're doing more 'standing around holding wine' and less 'picking up the glass just long enough for a sip,' it does likely make a difference.

I remember seeing two German guys (greased back hair, chain smoking, black leather jackets) at a local gun show back in the early 2000’s. They were only selling CZ-75 straight out of military wooden crates. I kick myself for not buying them. I believe it was $425 with 2 magazines. I felt it had to be a sting operation and the ATF would grab me at the door.

Just for curiosity. The 7.92 mm Besa machine gun (Birmingham Small Arms Company - BSA) was the British version of the Czechoslovak ZB 53 heavy machine gun and formed the most widespread machine gun armament of British tanks and armored vehicles during the Second World War. Every tank Cromwell, Matilda or Churchill and others had this Czech machine gun. The designer was also Vaclav Holek.

Me too, I'd say it's role was crucial. It kept the firearms industry going even under soviet rule and Czechs didn't have to adopt the AK or tokarev or makarov. Only the calibers were forced. Thanks to that the know-how hadn't vanished and we (Czechs) are still able to make guns "from paper to steel."

Only during the American air raid in 1945 was Prague during World War II. v. dropped 150 tons of bombs. At that time, Prague was bombed by both the Russians and the Germans - everywhere in the historic center is still empty after that - for example, in the Old Town Square, the Germans destroyed half of the town hall and the well-known astronomical clock was seriously damaged.

"vzor" means "pattern" Also, let's not get into the history because that "only 100 years" comment would probably be a cause of Vz. 58 assault rifles and Vz. 61 SMGs manifesting in close proximity (especially considering Ian didn't add them here)... :D for those who don't know, 106 years are for the modern incarnation as a republic (Czechoslovak and independent Czech)... the Duchy of Bohemia was founded in the 9th century, became Kingdom of Bohemia in 11th century and was since 16th century was integrated into the Austrian Empire as one of its wealthiest parts (Austrian emperors held the title of King of Bohemia until WW1), the preceding Great Moravia in 8th and there are mentions of a possible slavic proto-state in Czech lands as early as in 7th century...

And adding to that, relevant to the topic of the video, there was a long history of firearms production in the area before the creation of independent Czechoslovakia. For example, I expect that people who know firearms history heard the name Krnka. And of course it goes even further back than that. It's no accident that the words "pistol" and "howitzer" have Czech origins (from the 15th century).
