The Scorpion (Georgian: მორიელი) silent pistol is a special purpose suppressor integrated weapon which was designed by STC Delta solely for special operation forces. It was introduced in 2012 along with other new side arms.[1]

Features

[edit]

For the development the best features of similar type weapons were taken into consideration. The primary distinction between the Scorpion and regular semi-automatic pistols is the integrated noise dampening or suppressor system which is further extended by attachable silencers. Unlike similar models it has a large magazine capacity while being slightly longer and heavier. It uses 9 mm Kurz Browning cartridges and fires in semi-automatic mode.

Use

[edit]

Because of its designated purpose the Scorpion is intended to be used only by military or other services selected units and special forces. It is not for civilian use.
