The PM3 (Indonesian: Pistol Mitraliur 3) is a gas-operated submachine gun designed, developed and manufactured since 2016 by Pindad, an Indonesian state-owned enterprise specializing in military and commercial products. PM3 submachine gun primarily chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, has variants of selective fire and semi-automatic only configurations.[2][3]

Development

[edit]

PM3 was first publicly unveiled on 9 June 2016 at the Hall of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Indonesia, in Jakarta.[4] The design and development of PM3 was conducted by Pindad Directory of Development and Technology, including the implementation from input provided by users, to replace the previous generation PM2 submachine gun.[5] Unlike the PM2, which uses blowback mechanism, PM3 uses a gas operated mechanism. PM3 also has rail integration system, which allows wider variety of attachments to be installed, such as sights and grips.[2][6]
