It has been widely used both in ground roles and in anti-aircraft systems such as the ZPU-1 (single barrel), ZPU-2 (twin barrel), and ZPU-4 (quad mount). This gun played an important role in conflicts in the second half of the 20th century: the Korean War, Vietnam War, and numerous conflicts in Africa and the Middle East.
