How Muzzle energy is calculated
E = ½ · m · v²
Not calculated: v has no sourced figure yet. Nothing is substituted for a missing input.
1 of 2 inputs link to their source.
How Muzzle velocity is calculated
no sourced velocity for this load
Not calculated: muzzle velocity has no sourced figure yet. Nothing is substituted for a missing input.
No input on this calculation carries a clickable source yet.
How Loaded mass is calculated
m_loaded = m_empty + m_magazine + n · m_cartridge
Not calculated: m_magazine has no sourced figure yet. Nothing is substituted for a missing input.
Assumptions
- One magazine, filled to the stated capacity. Spare magazines, optics, slings and lights are the owner’s, not the arm’s.
2 of 4 inputs link to their source.
How Free recoil is calculated
E_recoil = ½ · m_firearm · v_recoil²
Not calculated: v_recoil has no sourced figure yet. Nothing is substituted for a missing input.
Assumptions
- Propellant gas momentum is excluded: ARMAG does not record charge weights. This is therefore a lower bound on the real free recoil, consistent between entries but smaller than a figure that includes the gas term.
- Free recoil: the arm is unrestrained. Stock design, muzzle devices, stance and shooter mass are not modelled, because none of them is a property of the arm.

How Capacity is calculated
as published for the primary chambering
Inputs
- capacity30estimatedsourcePublished as a 20- or 30-round detachable box magazine, from the infobox, uncited there; 30 rounds recorded here as the larger of the two published capacities.

Derived figures
Computed from the sourced values above. Open ƒ on any figure for the formula, its inputs, and the assumptions it makes.
How Momentum is calculated
p = m · v
Not calculated: v has no sourced figure yet. Nothing is substituted for a missing input.

How Sectional density is calculated
SD = mass(gr) / (7000 · diameter(in)²)
Inputs
- mass7.452 g115.0 grverifiedsource115 gr as published, converted to grams.
- diameter9.03 mm0.3555 inverifiedsourceCartridge maximum, dimension G1.
Assumptions
- Reported in the conventional lb/in² so it is directly comparable with published figures.

How Power factor is calculated
PF = mass(gr) · velocity(fps) / 1000
Not calculated: velocity has no sourced figure yet. Nothing is substituted for a missing input.
Assumptions
- A competition classification defined by the IPSC and USPSA rulebooks, stated in their units. It describes a scoring category, not an effect.
1 of 2 inputs link to their source.
How Magazine dump is calculated
t = (n − 1) / (rpm / 60)
Not calculated: rpm has no sourced figure yet. Nothing is substituted for a missing input.
Assumptions
- Cyclic rate held for the whole magazine, no stoppages, trigger held down. A theoretical figure for comparing mechanisms, not a measured one.
1 of 2 inputs link to their source.
How Sight error at 1 mm is calculated
θ = atan(misalignment / sight radius)
Not calculated: sight radius has no sourced figure yet. Nothing is substituted for a missing input.
Assumptions
- Shows what a stated aiming error costs. The misalignment is the reader’s figure; the site does not claim how well anyone aims.
No input on this calculation carries a clickable source yet.
Specifications
Every row here is generated from the schema, so a figure recorded on this entry cannot be missing from the table, and the same rows, read the same way, are what the comparison shows.

Scale
A to-scale outline against family siblings. The dimensions are sourced; the shape is a representative outline for the type, and says so.
- Pindad PM2625 mm24.61 inheight not recorded
Representative outline: the dimensions are sourced, the shape is not. Overall length, and barrel length where recorded, are drawn from this entry's own figures; the profile is a generic one for the firearm type and says nothing about this arm's actual contours. Pindad PM2 records no height, so its outline is drawn at the type's proportion. That height is part of the shape, not a measurement.
Detail
The Pindad PM2 (Pistol Mitraliur 2, “Submachine Gun 2”) is a blowback-operated submachine gun built by the Indonesian state arsenal PT Pindad and in service since 2006, chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum. It is based on Pindad’s SS2 rifle, with a similar receiver, grip and folding stock, and was intended for forest-guard authorities and law enforcement; Pindad designed it to exceed the performance of the Heckler & Koch MP5.
It was first shown abroad at a 2009 defence exhibition in Bangkok. It serves with the Indonesian Army and Kopassus, and Timor-Leste’s national police bought 75 in 2012. All versions have fixed iron sights and a MIL-STD-1913 rail for optics: the V1 with a folding stock, the V2 with an integral suppressor, and the V3 with a forward grip.
Mass and length figures on this page come from Wikipedia’s infobox, which carries no inline citation for either, so both are recorded as estimated rather than verified. No manufacturer specification sheet was reachable for this entry, and no cyclic rate, barrel length or effective range is published by any source found. No published twist rate was found either.
