The Zastava M84 is a general-purpose machine gun manufactured by Zastava Arms.[1][2] It is a gas-operated, air-cooled, belt-fed and fully automatic shoulder-fired weapon.
The M84 is a licensed copy of the Soviet Union's PKM, with a few differences such as a differently shaped stock, and a slightly longer and heavier barrel which has slightly different measurements at the gas port and forward of the trunnion in diameter.[3]
Variants
M84
The M84 is intended for infantry use, against enemy infantry and light vehicles. It is also configured for tripod mounting (like the PKS).[4]

Another version, the M86A, is designed for external mounts and can be used dismounted.[4]
