The CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1 is a 9 mm submachine gun used exclusively by Czech military forces in ArmA 2. It was added with the release of the Army of the Czech Republic DLC.
Overview[]
The Scorpion Evo 3 is a blowback-operated, selective-fire submachine gun that is chambered for the the 9×19 mm round.
It is primarily intended to load from its proprietary 30-round plastic magazines. However, the Scorpion does have the ability to load magazines used by the SP-01 PHANTOM/COMPACT and American-made M9 pistols as well.[CfgWp 12] It can attain a fire rate of approximately ~ 857 (semi-auto)[CfgWp 13][Formula 1] or 600 (burst/full auto)[CfgWp 14][Formula 2] rounds per minute and has a muzzle velocity of 400 m/s.[CfgMa 5] The Scorpion is usually fitted with the MRAD red dot sight, and also supports being mounted with laser sights and flashlights on its side rail. It can have suppressors attached to its muzzle.
Primarily wielded by Czech helicopter pilots, ground vehicle crewmen, and select special operations units, the Scorpion is the direct counterpart to the MP5A5 used by the U.S. Marine Corps. The main differences with the Scorpion is that it supports being loaded with 9 mm magazines used by almost every other non-Russian 9 mm SMG and handgun (with the exception of the MP5's magazines). Because it has integrated accessory rails, the Scorpion can also be fitted with optical sights.
However, the Scorpion shares the same downsides as the MP5A5 as well - namely the lack of range, poor stopping power, and the inventory space inefficiency of its magazines when compared to the Russian PP-19. It should also be noted that while the non-suppressed Scorpion is able to load subsonic magazines, the suppressed version of the Scorpion (the CZ SCORPION EVO 3 (SD) sub-variant) is not able to do so and cannot utilise the same magazines as its non-suppressed counterpart.[CfgWp 15]

Seven types of magazines are available to unsuppressed variants of the Scorpion:
- Two of these are of a proprietary design. They are 30-rounder magazines that are designed exclusively for use with the Scorpion.
- Two are shared with various Western-made 9 mm pistols (e.g. M9s, G17s, etc.).
- Three are shared with the CZ 75 family of Czech-made pistols.
However, the suppressed Scorpion is limited to being able to load only three of them; specifically those that are loaded with reduced velocity 9 mm SD ammunition. It should also be noted that the MP5A5's magazines are not compatible with the Scorpion.
Regardless of type, all magazines occupy one inventory slot. Where they are stored within the user's inventory does differ, however. The Scorpion's SMG-type magazines occupy primary weapon magazine slots[CfgMa 12] while pistol-type magazines (M9/CZ 75) will take up secondary weapon magazine slots[CfgMa 13][CfgMa 14][CfgMa 15] instead:
EVO 3 mag.[]
Proprietary 30-round plastic magazine loaded with 9 mm ball ammunition.[CfgMa 16]
None of the rounds fired will emit visible tracers.
EVO 3 SD mag.[]
Specialised magazine loaded with reduced velocity 9 mm ammunition.[CfgMa 17] Rounds fired from this magazine specifically have a lower muzzle velocity of 320 m/s.[CfgMa 6]
Just like the Scorpion's standard 30-rounder magazines, none of the rounds fired will emit visible tracers.
This magazine can be loaded by suppressed Scorpions.
M9 Mag.[]
15-round pistol magazine. Rounds fired from this magazine have a slightly lower muzzle velocity of 398 m/s.[CfgMa 7]
It can be shared with the G17/M9/PDW/CZ 75 SP-01 PHANTOM but not with the MP5A5.
M9SD Mag.[]
Specialised 15-round pistol magazine loaded with 9 mm reduced velocity ammunition.[CfgMa 18] Rounds fired from this magazine have a muzzle velocity of 315 m/s.[CfgMa 8]
Unlike the stock M9 magazine, this magazine can be shared with the MP5A5. However, aside from this compatibility difference and its ammo loadout/muzzle velocity, it is statistically identical to stock M9 magazines.
This magazine can be loaded by suppressed Scorpions.
Phantom mag.[]
18-round pistol magazine intended for use with the SP-01 variant of the CZ 75 pistol.
Aside from its appearance and total ammo capacity, it is identical to the Scorpion's proprietary 30-round magazines in all other aspects.
Phantom SD mag.[]
Specialised pistol magazine loaded with reduced velocity 9 mm ammunition.[CfgMa 19] Intended for use with suppressed SP-01 PHANTOM pistols. Rounds fired from this magazine have a lower muzzle velocity of 320 m/s.[CfgMa 10]
This magazine can be loaded by suppressed Scorpions.
Compact mag.[]
10-round pistol magazine designed exclusively for the CZ 75 D COMPACT. Rounds fired from this magazine specifically have a muzzle velocity of 398 m/s.[CfgMa 11]
Aside from its capacity and slightly lower muzzle velocity, it has identical stats to the 18-rounder Phantom magazines.

Trivia[]
- Like most 9 mm SMGs, the Scorpion has the ability to load pistol magazines but its appearance will not change to reflect this (it will still appear as a 30-rounder plastic magazine).
- When the Army of the Czech Republic DLC was initially released, the Scorpion's dedicated 30-rounder magazines were incorrectly configured to contain only twenty rounds.[2][3] This was eventually fixed by the release of the latest Steam version patches (as part of CorePatch's changes)[4], which correctly increased the magazine's capacity to thirty rounds.[5][6]
