The PMm is a Soviet made semi-automatic pistol featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

Appearances[]

Shadow of Chernobyl[]

The most widespread pistol in the Zone. It is a legacy of the Soviet era. It is relatively reliable and cheap, has low magazine capacity, low power and an unsatisfactory grouping of shots. It is the main weapon of a beginning stalker.
Shadow of Chernobyl in-game description

The PMm is the player's main weapon until they manage to get a primary one - usually a Sawn-off dbl barrel from the Bandits in the Vehicle station. The PMm has the advantage of using a very common type of ammunition - 9x18mm. Statwise however, it is mediocre, having fairly low damage, accuracy and mag capacity.

Acquisition[]

The player is given this weapon at the beginning of the game by Wolf, when they are sent by Sidorovich to rescue Nimble from a group of bandits. It is occasionally sold by Sidorovich.

The PMm is held by most rookies of each faction - namely Loners and Bandits, either as a primary weapon or as a sidearm.

No stash contains this weapon.

Notable users:

As a sidearm: Fanatic, Fox, Guide, Vasya Boar.

Clear Sky[]

This Soviet legacy is the most common pistol in the Zone. While reliable and cheap, its drawbacks are its small magazine and poor precision. Used as a primary weapon by many rookies, this pistol uses 9x18 mm ammo.
― In-game description

The PMm is now reasonably powerful and can rival the performance of some 9x19mm pistols, as it's cheap to maintain and most upgrades cost less than 200 rubles, making it more useful later in the game than in Shadow of Chernobyl. Since it weighs less an a kilogram, it  is a good sidearm for those only wanting a last-resort backup weapon.

However, its usefulness is limited by its low accuracy, damage, and average magazine capacity. Its handling and durabilty also aren't too out of the ordinary, even with upgrades.

Its grip is also changed from Shadow of Chernobyl, now its grip has a finish not unlike bakelite, while in Shadow of Chernobyl its grip is made of dark polymer.

Acquisition[]

The PMm is given by Docent Suslov along with some other equipment at the beginning of the game. The weapon can be bought from every trader of all factions and held by rookie loners, bandits, Clear Sky members, soldiers and Duty stalkers. Overall the weapon is pretty widespread and it's very easy to acquire one.

The PMm shares the same upgrades as all pistols, albeit they're much cheaper.

Unique variants[]

Call of Pripyat[]

This Soviet legacy is the most common pistol in the Zone and is one of the best compact self-defense handguns available. It is small, highly reliable, easy to use and maintain in working order. It also suffers from several drawbacks, including its short range, low firing accuracy and poor stopping power, while also losing out to modern pistols in its class in terms of weight and magazine size.
Call of Pripyat in-game description

SCOP PMm

Upgrade view

In Call of Pripyat, the PMm is stats-wise roughly the same as its Clear Sky incarnation, being far from the best but not a complete waste either due to its light weight and reasonable stats for a dedicated sidearm.

The player's starting weapon is a unique PMm which features much higher durability. This makes the PMm itself almost useless, due to the fact the player's starting handgun is better.

Acquisition[]

The most notable thing about it is the fact that loners, bandits and zombified stalkers (previously all common users of the PMm) have all adopted the Kora-919 as a rather common sidearm alongside the PMm, making the latter rarer among stalkers but still easy to obtain overall. The Spetsnaz also do not use the pistol as they all prefer the more modern Fora-12 and the specialized PB-1s.

The weapon can be bought from both Owl and Hawaiian at a very cheap price and four of these pistols in perfect condition can be found in the Volkhov AA Complex's armory in Jupiter, among other things. Rookie and experienced Duty stalkers are also known to carry this weapon as their sidearm.
