Slovakia begins production of local pellet guns

Slovakia is to launch the production of pellet guns under the commercial name Perun, company ZVS Holding announced Thursday.

According to company board chairman Marian Goga, pellet guns have traditionally been known for their quality in Slovakia and neighboring countries.

The guns were produced for Czech producer Ceska Zbrojovka (Czech Armoury) Uhersky Brod since 2003

"At the end of September, we signed a contract with Ceska Zbrojovka that entitles us under licence to sell these pellet guns," he said.

"In the past, every second family likely had an air-gun, as target shooting was a popular form of pastime," said Goga. Endit
