The PM-63, or RAK (hand-held automatic commando firearm, in Polish), was introduced in 1965 and was intended as a light hand-held defensive weapon for rear-echelon soldiers such as gun crews and vehicle drivers. Small numbers of the weapon were exported to several Arab countries, Vietnam and the former East Germany, where the dreaded Stasi Secret Police and elite units of the DDR army made use of them. The Soviet KGB were also fond of it for covert tasks and hundreds found their way into the hands of terrorist organisations like the Red Brigades and Baader Mein Hoff, where the RAKs compact size and reasonably powerful 9mm Makarov ammo made them a favourite for urban guerrilla warfare and assassination. Most of the Terrorists at the Iranian Embassy Siege in London were armed with them as well. All deactivated weapons sold by D and B Militaria are deactivated in the United Kingdom and hold London or Birmingham proof marks and a certificate stating that the weapon has been deactivated correctly.
