Zastava M-72B1/M-72AB1
Notes: Similar to the Iraqis, the Yugoslavians used a modified form of their version of the AKM instead of the RPK as a squad automatic weapon. The M-72B1 uses a normal wooden stock, while the M-72AB1 uses a folding metal stock. The M-72 also differs from the RPK in having a folding antiaircraft sight and a mount for night vision equipment. Standard RPK magazines and drums are used with the M-72.

Zastava M-77B1 LMG
Notes: This Yugoslavian weapon is a light machinegun variant of the M-77B1 battle rifle. It was designed primarily for export (mostly to the Middle East), and was built until 1990. It is basically a heavier version of the M-72B1. A bad point of this weapon is the small magazines.
Twilight 2000 Notes: The M-77B1 LMG was pressed into service when the Twilight War picked up.

Zavasta M-82/M-82A
Notes: These are squad automatic weapon versions of the M-80 assault rifle. The design is reminiscent of the RPK and AK-74. The weapon continues to operate flawlessly even without optimal ammunition. They were designed for export, since they use non-Yugoslavian-standard ammunition, but Yugoslavia dissolved into chaos shortly after their introduction, and they don’t appear to have sold well as a result.
Twilight 2000 Notes: Like many such weapons, the M-82 was pressed into service when the Twilight War intensified.
Merc 2000 Notes: These weapons sold rather well on the international arms market.
