The Pindad PS-01 (Pistol Serbu, literally Assault Pistol) is a PDW-caliber pistol developed by Pindad.[1]
History[edit]
The PS-01 was developed by Colonel Rihahanto, who developed the pistol from August to September 2007.[2] Working models were first shown at the 2008 Indo Defence Expo & Forum.[3]
After field tests were conducted, the Indonesian military dropped the PS-01 from consideration since it did not have full auto capabilities.[2]
Development[edit]
The PS-01 can be equipped with a suppressor on the barrel with pistol-based tactical accessories attached underneath the barrel, using 18-round magazines.[2] It was meant to be used by special forces units, tank and aircraft crew personnel as a self-defense weapon.[2]
The pistol has a barrel length of 190 mm and a weight of 1.234 kg.[2] Its effective firing range is at 100 meters.[2]
