Din cele auzite personal de la oamenii muntelui si din  cele citite despre luptatorii nostri din munti (perioada 1945-1960), de carabina ZB se temeau cel mai tare soldatii de Securitate si Militia, cand urcau sa atace pe partizani in urma vreunei"informatii" (citeste TRADARE). 
O arma puternica si precisa, cu un sunet inconfundabil.
Am tras si eu cu ea, la "garzi". Intr-adevar, daca stiai s-o tii bine in falca - nu ratai ! Iar calibrul...nu dadea nicio sansa tintei luate in catare.
