That's something you made up. The stories never mention a .32.

But the story does say: Czechoslovakian CZ-762x25. CZ is a manufacturer. The gun in question is a military surplus item in the sense that it was made in Czechoslovkia during the Communist era. All weapons were made for the combined military/police. 7.62x25 is clearly identified as the caliber of this weapon, though the editor was too ignorant of guns to correctly place the decimal place. In European calibers the first number is the diameter of the bullet in millimeters. The second is the length of the case. In the USA we refer to calibers, most commonly, by their diameter in decimal fraction of an inch. Thus a "Colt .45" shoots a large bullet of almost 1/2" inch (.45) diameter. Using metric to inch conversion ratios will show you that the caliber of a 7.62 bullet expressed in more common US terminology is .3048, or "30 caliber". Dirtboy called it a .32 caliber, but it's not unusual for bullets size to be rounded off somewhat. For instance the common .38 Special is actually .357 caliber. The .44 Magnum is actuall .429. I'm not totally familiar with obscure Czech calibers but it is very possible this caliber is routinely referred to as a ".32" by US users, probably based on it's similiarity to other US calibers like the "32 ACP".
Dirtboy did not make anything up.
