A great collector's item and a fantastic long range shooter.
The M72 is a gas-operated, air-cooled, drum-fed, selective fire, shoulder-fired, semi-automatic version of the Zastava M72. Like the Soviet RPK, the M72 was originally used as a squad automatic weapon. Unlike the RPK, it has unique design features such as the heavy finned barrel (not included in this kit), allowing for maximum cooling under heavy fire. The B1 designation is the modernized version of the M72 with the heavy 1.5 mil stamped receiver.
