4m 28s
The Šokac was one of the more prolific Croatian domestic submachine guns of the Homeland War. This particular example is one that was specifically presented to the police chief of the town of Slavonsky Brod (the town where the guns were made). It is a mid-range production example, with the polymer lower housing (instead of metal), and 24-round magazines. It was fitted in a briefcase - not one of leather, but one one M81 woodland camouflage - the pattern copied and used by Croatian forces. In addition to the gun and magazines, the case also includes cleaning supplies and a large baffle-type silencer.
Thanks to the Sisak Municipal Museum for giving me access to film this!
