I admit I'm not familiar with this gun. But, it's probably not appropriate to call it an assault rifle if it's chambered in 9mm. Umm, a quick internet search comes up with this gun being in 5.56 Nato. Where did the information in this article come from, a video game?? Friday 7 July 2005 05:36 (UTC)
It is chambered in 5.56X45mm-rounds. I wouldn't call it an assault rifle either. It was developed in Croatia, but the word is the gun is mostly being used by North Persian forces. Thursday 14 July 2005 15:39 (UTC)
APS-95 was only a prototype rifle. It was made only in couple of specimens by company Koncar-Arma. It was never used in Croatian army, and was never adopted or sold to any army in the world simply because it never made to serial production. It was not a licenced copy, but it was based on Galil rifle. Guns of similar apperance used by Army of Serbia and Montenegro is South-African copy of Galil rifle called R-4. Around 20.000 of those R-4 rifles were siezed by Yugoslav national army in Zagreb Pleso Airport, when Croatian businessman Antun Kikaš tried to smuggle then to Croatian police in 1991!

188.129.107.247 ( talk) 21:26, 14 March 2012 (UTC) Reply to Benvenuto on Libya case ; If this is the photo and article you are talking about (since on the link you provided there is no photos!) ; http://www.thexpression.net/?p=2042 it is clearly a misunderstanding since the depicted rifle is certainly not cro. APS-95, rather it is german G36, but I understand the confusion seeing the upper handle/sight, magazine and folding stock looking very similar. So this should be fixed and removed from the wiki article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.129.127.136 ( talk) 01:02, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
