| Notes | The TK Vz.37 was a modern machine gun developed and built in Czechoslovakia. It was an improved version of the Vz.35. Unlike the Vz.24 the new gun was lighter and air cooled. It had a high rate of fire combined with a good range and was initially developed for use in border fortifications. |
