Design details
Design details
The Scorpion EVO 3 is a blowback-operated carbine evolved from a Slovak prototype submachine gun developed by Laugo. Chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum, the Scorpion EVO 3 is mostly polymer, making it a lightweight, compact submachine gun designed to be easily manoeuvred in confined spaces. It features a left-side non-reciprocating charging handle, although it can be switched to the right side during disassembly. The select-fire A1 variant comes equipped with a folding, adjustable and fully removable stock for transport. The handguard is lined with multiple Picatinny rails for the addition of attachments such as grips, sights, flashlights, and lasers. The handguard on the semi-automatic S1 variant features M-LOK attachment points, with a single Picatinny rail on top.
