Vz. 58
text:
The vz. 58 is a 7.62×39mm assault rifle that was designed and manufactured in Czechoslovakia and accepted into service in the late 1950s as the 7,62 mm samopal vzor 58, replacing the vz. 52 self-loading rifle and the 7.62×25mm Tokarev Sa 24 and Sa 26 submachine guns. While externally the vz. 58 resembles the Soviet AK-47, it is a different design based on a short-stroke gas piston. The only component that it shares with Kalashnikov rifles is the ammunition.
