The Zastava M80 was a 5.56 mm assault rifle produced by Zastava Arms. The M80 had a fixed wooden stock while the M80A had an under-folding metal stock. It was introduced in the early 1980s.[1] It was the 5.56 mm version of the Zastava M70, with a longer barrel, later improved in 1990 into the Zastava M90.
The M80 is based on the AK-74 assault rifle. It is gas-operated, supports semi-automatic and full-automatic rate of fire.[2]
The M85 is a related development of the M80, based on the AK-74U and chambered in the 5.56 mm round.[3]
