FMA FMK-3 Mod 2
Notes: This is
the standard Argentine submachinegun, built on the Uzi pattern. It is an
improved version of the PA3-DM, the former Argentine standard submachinegun.
The sliding stock is the same as used on the US M-3A1 "Grease Gun."
There were formerly fixed stock and sliding stock models (the Mod 1 and
Mod 2), but the fixed stock version was quickly dropped and is almost never
seen. The FMK-3 can fire NATO rifle
grenades, but is very heavy. There
is another version known as the FMK-5; this version fires only on semiautomatic
and is for sale to police and civilian security forces.

Halcon ML-43
Notes: This was
designed during World War 2, by the company of Halcon.
It is also called the ML-943, or M/943.
Today, this weapon is rarely encountered, even in South America.
It had a simple blowback construction, and fires from an open bolt. The
stock has a deep pistol grip, with the grip being a part of the stock. The
barrel is tapered, and is finned for cooling and well as having a large muzzle
brake. The weight is good for fire
control, but is not good if you have to tote it around. The ML-43 does not have
a setting for semiautomatic fire.
The Model ML-46
is basically identical other than having an MP-40-type folding stock on it. The
ML-63 is again based on the ML-43.
It was designed primary to simplify, and therefore reduce the cost, of
manufacturing the weapon. The ML-63
is unfortunately not any lighter than the ML-46, and in game terms, doesn’t
matter.

FAH PAM
Notes: Is an
almost direct copy of the US M-3A1 “Grease Gun.” Differences include the caliber
and the length of the barrel at 7.87 kg.
The stock could be detached and used as a magazine loading tool. It was
blowback operated and fired in fully automatic only (though the cyclic ROF was
rather slow, due to the heavy bolt).

MEMS 52/58
Notes:
This former standard Argentine Air Force and Gendarmerie submachinegun
can still be found on considerable quantity in that country.
It is also issued to various paramilitary groups, and was a common weapon
of the Argentine “Death Squads.” It
is a very simple weapon built with loose standards to the maximum possible
tolerances – except for the barrel, which is finely-made to close tolerances,
including 12-groove rifling. This
means that while the rest of the weapon tends to go to pot rather fast, the
barrel wears quite slowly.

PA-3DM
Notes: The
PA3-DM is the forerunner of the FMK-3 above.
It is basically similar to the FMK-3, but has slightly different features
and construction. Like the FMK-3,
it is built on the Uzi pattern.
Folding stock and fixed stock version are available.
This weapon is no longer in active Argentine service, but can still be
found among paramilitary groups and police.
