PMM
The Makarov PM pistol, or PMM, is a semi-automatic handgun that was formerly used as the standard side-arm for soldiers in the Soviet Union.
Overview
The Makarov PM, or PMM, is a 9mm semi-automatic pistol that served as the standard military side-arm for soldiers in the Soviet Union from 1951-1991. It was designed in the late 1940s by Nikolai Fyodorovich Makarov, from whom it derives its name. It fires the 9x18 mm Soviet ammunition, as opposed to the 9x19 mm NATO ammunition more common in Western weapons. The original PM pistol had an 8 round magazine, though the PMM pistol has a 12 round magazine.
The PMM in Metal Gear Solid 3
In their first encounter, Naked Snake shames Ocelot, who brandishes a PMM, by taking it from him outright when they first meet. Snake tells Ocelot to find a weapon that feels right to him, and that a revolver would probably fit his firing style more because he tends to absorb the recoil with his elbow. Ocelot takes his advice to heart, finding the Colt Single Action Army revolver to be much more to his liking. Eventually he takes the name Revolver Ocelot as an homage to his love of the Revolver. This encounter also foreshadows the mentor position Naked Snake, who later becomes Big Boss (Character), has over Ocelot in the future.
The PMM in Metal Gear Solid 4
The PMM is one of the many handguns available to Solid Snake (Character) in Metal Gear Solid 4. The PMM is a small, semi-automatic handgun with more historical value than anything else to Snake. Details on the PMM in Metal Gear Solid 4: How to obtain: The PMM can be bought from Drebin for 3,500DP. It can also be obtained from the resistance fighters at the beginning of Act 3 in Eastern Europe. Given the history of the PMM as the standard sidearm in the Soviet Union, the Eastern European resistance fighters having the PMM makes perfect sense! Stats:
