history
The Zastava M91 rifle is the successor to the M76 - sniper rifle of the Yugoslav army . The weapon is based on the technology of the AK-47 assault rifle . It was developed and produced by the Serbian company Zastava oružje . The M91 was first produced in 1992 and used in the Serbo-Croatian War . The decision to replace the 7.92 × 57 mm caliber with the 7.62 × 54 mm R also made it necessary to redesign a sniper rifle.
The task of the M91 is the same as that of the M76: to increase the maximum combat distance of the platoon from around 300 m to 800 m, since several targeted shots can be fired in a row.
