The Zastava PAP[1] (Serbian: Полу-аутоматска пушка/пиштољ / Polu-automatska puška/pištolj, "Semi-automatic rifle/pistol") are a series of Serbian sporting rifles based on the Zastava M70 and Zastava M77B1. They are nearly identical to their military counterparts, but lack select-fire capability and have been modified with a number of sporting features designed to comply with firearms imports laws in the United States, where they are primarily marketed.
For example, they are imported with thumbhole stocks, and lack the bayonet lugs, night sights, and grenade launcher sights. Variants include the PAP M85 and M92, which are short-barreled models imported into the United States as pistols.
