The Vz-83 is a variant of the Vz-61 Scorpion Submachine Gun. This model was produced in the early 1980's as a variant to make use of 9x18mm Makarov pistol rounds. It is very similar to the Vz-61 in that it has a foldable wire stock, an underbarrel-mounted laser sight, and fixed iron front and rear sights. However, unlike the Vz-61, this model has a twenty/thirty-round capacity straight-box magazine as opposed to the twenty- round curved boxes that its older cousin has. The first time you can use this gun in MGS4 is in Eastern Europe when EVA gives it to you preceeding the bike chase segment of Act Three, or Third Sun.
