The PM-63 RAK is a Polish 9x18mm submachine gun with the characteristics of a self-loading pistol and a fully automatic submachine gun as well. Development of the weapon dates back to the late 1950's, when it was proposed at the Warsaw University of Technology after answering calls for a light hand-held defensive weapon for rear-echelon troops including gun crews and drivers.
The initial chief designer of the weapon, Piotr Wilniewczyc died in 1960 during the development of the weapon, which resulted in the state-operated Łucznik Arms Factory within the city of Radom, where it was made until 1977, though it was accepted into the Polish army, when it was a member of the Warsaw Pact. Small amounts of the weapon were exported to multiple Arab countries, and in the Eastern half of Germany when that country was split in half during the Cold War.
It is a selective-fire straight blowback-operated machine pistol, though the weapon is treated as a submachine gun within XNDUIW, fired from the open-bolt design as well, with a reciprocating external breech bolt, also known as the slide of this weapon unlike an open bolt of most submachine guns. It consists of the barrel, frame and two grips, designed to decrease the weapon's rate of fire to 650 rounds per minute as well, which was pointed out in documentation relating to the weapon.
