Zastava M93 Black Arrow

The Zastava M93 Black Arrow is a Serbian bolt-action anti-materiel rifle designed in 1993 and manufactured by Zastava Arms, entering production in 1998. It is chambered for the Soviet and Eastern Bloc 12.7x108mm cartridge, with an optional .50 BMG chambering developed for export because the Soviet round is rare outside the former Soviet states. The air-cooled rifle feeds from a detachable five- or ten-round box magazine and has a telescoping shoulder stock, a folding bipod, a carrying handle on the forend and a multi-baffled muzzle brake to tame the heavy recoil. Its action is a scaled-up Mauser 98 system, with a bolt rear and firing pin resembling those of the French FR-F1. Serbian forces issued it with a ZRAK 8x56 optical sight, and its listed users include Armenia, Jordan, Libya, the Philippines, Syria and Yemen.
