Overview

The ML-63 is chambered in 9mm Parabellum and is fed from a 30-round magazine. The ML-63 also came with a fixed wooden stock. It appears to be based primarily on the MAT-49 Submachine Gun.[1] and also a silenced variant.[2] A number of ML-63 submachine guns were found by the British during the Falklands War in 1982.[3]
