Abstrakt
This paper highlights the lack of satisfactory research on the history of Czechoslovak arms production after 1945, particularly with regards to small arms, which were one of the dominant products of the Czechoslovak arms industry in this period. The author notes that this is due to a gap between the perspectives of historians of economy and military, and specialists in armaments technology.
The second part of the paper discusses new research trends, while the third part uses the ČZ 247 (015) submachine gun from the late 1940s as an example of the wide range of research possibilities when starting from qualified information on the origin, production, delivery, and use of a particular model.
