The Pindad PS-01 (Indonesian: Pistol Serbu, lit. 'Assault Pistol') is a PDW-caliber pistol developed by Pindad.[1] It was meant to be used by special forces units, tank and aircraft crew personnel as a self-defense weapon.[2]
History
The PS-01 was developed by Colonel Rihahanto, who developed the pistol from August to September 2007.[2] Pindad announced in August 2008 that the PS-01 and 5.56x21mm would be mass produced after they get certification.[3]
Working models were first shown at the 2008 Indo Defence Expo & Forum,[4] which was held from November 19-22, 2008.[5][6]
After field tests were conducted, the Indonesian military dropped the PS-01 from consideration since it did not have full auto capabilities.[2]
Design
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] 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]
