The Scorpion (Georgian language: 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[]
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 round capacity while being slightly longer and heavier. It uses 9 mm Kurz Browning cartridges and fires in semi-automatic mode.
Use[]
Because of its designated purpose the Scorpion is intended to be used only by military or police selected units and special forces. It is not for civilian use.
