    Is this like a long Uzi? Otherwise it looks like a Tommy gun that only fires one bullet

      sort of, it's similar in that it also uses a telescoping bolt, but it predates the Uzi by a few years (the Czechoslovaks were in fact the first to start large-scale manufacturing of submachine guns with telescoping bolts, with the idea coming from a few prototype British submachine guns made towards the end of WW2, although the Uzi is what popularized the concept globally)

    The 20th century was the cambion explosion of smgs. We'll never see another period of wild, unrestrainted growth like this.
