A. PT PINDAD

PT Pindad in Bandung, West Java, is the Indonesian government's munitions factory that produces weapons and ammunition for both domestic use and export. It has the capacity to produce 14,000-15,000 weapons a year, including a variety of assault rifles, sniper rifles, grenade launchers, pistols and revolvers; the Indonesian military and police can absorb about 10,000.

The ammunitions division of PT Pindad is based in Turen, Malang, East Java, and produces about 150,000 rounds of ammunition a year to NATO standards, but 75 per cent of this is 5.56mm calibre bullets for assault rifles, particularly the SS1 and its updated successor, the SS2.
