MGV-176 was widely used both during the Slovenian war of independence by Slovenian territorial defense militia then by Croat volunteers during the first part of the Croatian War of Independence, notably during the so-called Battle of the Barracks. It was however replaced as soon as a regular Croatian army was established and equipped with standard military weapons. |
