The M92 is a carbine developed and manufactured by Zastava Arms since 1992.[2] It is nearly identical to the Zastava M85 carbine; the only differences between the two are caliber and, correspondingly, magazine design.[3] The M92 is a shortened version of the Zastava M70 assault rifle, which is a modified copy of the Soviet AKM assault rifle.
