Description
Introduction
The M92 is a sub machine gun of Serbian origin. It is the sub machine gun variant of the M70 full size assault rifle. It is the most recent model of the M70 family.
Design
The M92 follows the same design principles as the Soviet AKS-74U, but retains M70 elements such as the 7.62x39mm chambering, underfolding stock and longer handguard with three slots. A special muzzle brake is fitted to reduce the muzzle flash. Instead of a leaf sight a simple flip-up sight is installed.
Firepower
The M92 fires the 7.62x39mm Soviet round from a 30 round magazine. The cyclic rate of fire is reported to be similar to the M70AB2 at 620 rpm. The maximum effective range is quoted as 200 meters. The M92 cannot launch muzzle grenades.
Users
The M92 is used in Serbia and has been exported to several nations. Most of these are in the Middle East and Africa.
