Beretta PM12

The Beretta PM12 (“Pistola Mitragliatice” or machine pistol) submachine gun was developed in the 1950’s and adopted by the Italian military and law enforcement forces. This compact sub-gun is blowback-operated and fires from an open bolt arrangement. Chambered for the 9x19mm NATO standard cartridge feeding from 20-, 32-, or 40-round detachable box magazines.

Although heavy in comparison to modern sub-gun standards, the PM12 proved to be robust, accurate and comfortable, also very stable while being fired.  With a safety button located over the pistol grip, the fire selector can be changed between semi- and fully automatic fire by pressing another button located above the pistol grip. The PM12 also features an automatic grip pressure safety which was only disengaged when the shooter grips the weapon.

The PM12 has a side-folding metal stock that protrudes from the weapon slightly in the folded positions. There is also an integral forward vertical grip for further stabilization while firing. Simple iron sights are protected by side walls to keep them intact and sheltered from damage and battlefield abuse.
