Overview
The Zastava Arms USA ZPAP92 AK Pistol is a compact firearm chambered in 7.62x39mm, designed to deliver the proven functionality of the AK platform in a reduced footprint. Manufactured in Serbia, this model is constructed to exacting specifications, integrating materials and processes optimized for harsh environments and sustained operational use. This firearm is a direct descendant of the Yugoslavian M92, a design recognized for its durability and consistent performance.
Key Features
Construction and Materials
The ZPAP92 features a 1.5mm stamped steel receiver, a design choice that enhances structural rigidity and longevity. The critical components, including the front trunnion, are typically forged, contributing to the firearm’s high cycle life under rigorous conditions. The barrel is cold hammer-forged and chrome-lined, a combination that mitigates bore wear from heat and friction, significantly extending barrel life and ensuring consistent projectile velocity over time. This model incorporates black polymer furniture, selected for its resistance to impact, chemical exposure, and temperature fluctuations, providing a secure grip and minimizing maintenance requirements.
Ergonomics and Integration
Designed for maneuverability, the ZPAP92 pistol configuration facilitates close-quarters deployment and ease of transport. It utilizes standard AK-pattern magazines, ensuring broad compatibility and availability for capacity options. The rear trunnion typically features a standard interface, allowing for the integration of various brace or stock (where legally applicable) options to adapt the platform to specific operational requirements. The pistol includes adjustable iron sights, providing a reliable aiming solution.
Performance Characteristics
Chambered in 7.62x39mm, the ZPAP92 provides a cartridge known for its terminal ballistics and widespread availability. The compact barrel length is optimized to deliver effective ballistic performance within the pistol’s intended operational envelope. The gas-piston operating system is inherently reliable, minimizing fouling in critical areas and ensuring consistent cycling, even with varied ammunition types.
