Notes: The M-21 is an M-90 that has been upgraded to 21^st century standards. The M-90 was not accepted for financial reasons; it is unknown how the Yugoslavians will come up with the money for the M-21, though the Yugoslavian Army really wants it. The M-21 is, as is the M-90, based on the Kalashnikov, but fires 5.56mm NATO ammunition. The M-21 is fitted with a reflex optical sight of low power, and backup red-dot iron sights. It can mount the BG-15 grenade launcher, or a copy of the BG-15 that fires 40mm NATO Low-Velocity ammunition. Most parts are of light alloy or plastic composite.

Twilight 2000/Merc 2000 Notes: This weapon does not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Notes: This is Yugoslavia’s version of the Russian SKS carbine (which the Yugoslavians called the M-59). Key differences between the M-59/66A1 and the SKS are the permanently-attached rifle-grenade launching attachment on the muzzle, and flip up sights to use when launching those rifle grenades. A folding bayonet is attached under the barrel; unlike Russian or Chinese SKSs, the bayonet of the M-59/66A1 is an actual blade rather than a cruciform spike. The M-59/66A1 has been out of production for a little over a decade, but is still a quite common weapon among Yugoslavian troops and those of the former Yugoslavian republics.

Notes: These are Yugoslavian versions of the AKM (M-70B1) and AKMS (M-70AB2). The only significant differences, other than the manufacturing methods employed, are the permanent rifle grenade launching attachment on the muzzle and flip up sights for use when rifle grenades are being launched. The M-77B1 is almost the same as the M-70B1, but is chambered for 7.62mm NATO ammunition. The M-77B1 also has a closed-prong-type flash suppressor, and a removable rifle grenade-launching attachment and sights are included in the cost. The M-77B1 was built primarily for export; there were some small sales in Africa (and there are rumors of its use by Iraq), but most were sold as semiautomatic variants, without the grenade launcher, to civilians in Western Europe and Central America.

Twilight 2000 Notes: Hungry for weapons of any sort, the Yugoslavians kept most M-77B1s for themselves. In Croatia and Slovenia, production was actually stepped up after 1998.

Merc 2000 Notes: The Yugoslavians were in need of cash so badly that they sold these weapons (and most others they made) all over the world in a rather indiscriminate manner.

Notes: These are versions of the M-70B1 and M-70AB2 in 5.56mm NATO. They were built solely for the export market and were never issued to Yugoslavian troops or those of the former Yugoslavian republics. It had moderate success on the export and civilian market; it is even rumored that there were some sales to countries like Iraq, Yemen, and Somalia. They are very reliable weapons, even when not fed with quality ammunition.

The M-90 and M-90A are modernized versions of the M-80 and M-80A. They have a more modern look and are built of better materials to closer tolerances. They are more reliable than their predecessors, but otherwise very similar.  The Serbian Army seriously considered the adoption of the M-90 and M-90A, but budget problems arose (especially considering the cost of the wars during the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, and later Kosovo).  The Serbs' budget situation has improved somewhat, but now the Serbian Army has decided to pass on the M-90 and, if funds allow, adopt the newer M-21 (see above).

Twilight 2000 Notes: These weapons were sold on the international market until about 1994, when remaining quantities and production were diverted to Yugoslavian use.

Notes: This is a short assault rifle version of the M-80A. It resembles the Russian AKS-74U, but fires 5.56mm NATO ammunition. It was designed with vehicle crews, special operations, and internal security troops in mind. There appear to be no official sales on record, but rumors abound of unofficial sales to various countries.

Twilight 2000 Notes: These weapons were put into limited production in 1995. None of them were sold outside of Yugoslavia or former Yugoslavia until at least 2001, and most of them went to Romania, Turkey, and Greece.

Merc 2000 Notes: Like other Yugoslavian weapons, these were sold far and wide on the international market for badly-needed cash.
