The Zastava ZPAP85 Alpha (Zastava part no. ZP85556TAC) is an AK-pattern semi-auto pistol chambered in .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, built with a chrome-lined, cold hammer-forged 10-inch barrel and a bulged trunnion over a thick 1.5mm stamped steel receiver. This pistol comes equipped with a quad rail for accessories, a night brake to reduce muzzle flash and felt recoil, an angled foregrip for better control, a stained wood handguard for a distinctive look, and an SB Tactical SBA3 arm brace rather than a shoulder stock.
