Kulometná pistole vzor 38 (machine gun pistol model 38), also referred to as Samopal vzor 38 (submachine gun model 38), was a Czechoslovak submachine gun developed during the late 1930s by František Myška.^[2][3] The weapon was officially put into service with the Czechoslovak Army with an order of initial 3,500 pieces to be produced.^[1][4] However, due to the Sudeten crisis, the full-scale production of the submachine gun was halted with minuscule numbers being fully completed. None of the completed samples managed to be used by Czechoslovak soldiers.^[1]
