Description
The CZ Model VZ26 Samopal 7.62x25mm submachine gun, featured here with a metal folding stock, is part of a series that began with the Sa 23 in 1948 and included the Sa 24, Sa 25, and Sa 26. Designed primarily by Jaroslav Holeček, chief engineer at the Česká zbrojovka Strakonice arms factory, the VZ26 is a testament to mid-20th century firearm innovation. This series utilizes a straightforward blowback action and fires from the open bolt position. Notably, the VZ26 features a progressive trigger that allows for both semi-automatic and fully automatic fire—light pressure results in a single shot, while a firmer pull engages continuous fire until the trigger is released or the magazine is empty.
