## History

Overseas, the PM2 was first shown to foreign visitors at the 2009 Tri-Service Asian Defense and Internal Security Event for Land, Sea and Air and Security event at the IMPACT Exhibition Center in Bangkok, Thailand.[1]

The PM2 went on display in 2013 before VIPs at the Pusat Pendidikan Kavaleri in Bandung.[2]

### Exports

The PM2 was purchased for the PNTL in 2012.[3] Secretary of State Francisco Guterres demanded an answer after a senior PNTL officer informed Tempo Semanala that a training session showed some of the submachine guns were defective.[4] Around PM2-V1s were reported to be defective.[3] An inquiry was set up in 2013 to investigate the issue.[5]

PM2s are used by the PNTL during election security in 2017.[6]

## Design

The Pindad PM2 is a submachine gun based on the Pindad SS2, using a similar receiver (although changed to use 9×19mm ammunition), grip, and folding stock. It is designed to exceed the performance of the popular German-made Heckler & Koch MP5.[7] It has a standard MIL-STD-1913 rail on top for optics and comes with a suppressor.

All PM2 types have fixed iron sights.[8]

## Variants

### PM2-V1

The V1 weighs 3.18 kg with its magazine. It is 625 mm long with a blowback firing system, outfitted with a folding stock.[9]

### PM2-V2

The V2 is fixed with an integral suppressor.[10] It weighs 3.45 kg and is 720 mm long with a folding stock.[11]

### PM2-V3

The V3 is fixed with a forward grip and is longer than the V1 but shorter than the V2.[12] It has a picatinny rail on the top body and has a different stock and grip design.[12]
