Trivia Special
The PM-63 was not really used in Red Dawn contrary to many inaccurate reports. The character of Colonel Strelnikov used a Finnish Jatimatic 9mm submachine gun, since the filmmakers at the time could not acquire a real PM63 as this was the Cold War (due to the import ban on Combloc weapons during the 1970s & 1980s).
