Pindad SS2

[17][18] Myanmar has expressed interest in purchasing SS2 rifles despite a statement from Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa that it was not true.

[19] Col. Jan Pieter Ate of the Indonesian Defense Ministry expressed his concerns that SS2 rifles can be used to threaten other countries and civilians while University of Indonesia security analyst Andi Widjajanto said that selling the rifles to the country can help improve relations while allowing the black market to lose its presence there.

[20] Pindad plans to market the weapon to third world countries such as the Congo, Iran and Uganda.

[21] On June 1, 2018, Pindad announced that it has entered into a partnership with Bhukhanvala Industries to market the SS2 to Indian military and law enforcement agencies.

[22] Brunei announced in 2018 that plans to purchase the SS2 will finally push through after informal talks started in 2015.

[24] On 7 November 2022, the Deputy Commander of the Royal Cambodian Army expressed interest in the SS2 rifles.

[34] A sub-variant of the SS2-V2 with new foldable-telescoping stock, new pistol grip and Picatinny rail handguard.

Carrying handle replaced with a Picatinny rail for scope mounting as a designated marksman rifle.

[41] Launched in May 2016, the SS2-V7 is a subsonic variant intended to be used in special forces operations when stealth is required through the use of a mounted suppressor.

[45] It was officially revealed to the press in a public event sponsored by the Indonesian Ministry of Defense on June 9, 2016.

The civilian variant was offered in semi-automatic only and without a stock to comply with United States foreign firearms import restrictions.

Dopper training consists of firing live rounds at the ground around soldiers or law enforcement operators while they crawl in a muddy environment.

To avoid the projectile shattering or ricocheting when it impacts the ground, a proprietary round-nosed 7.62×51mm bullet was developed for use with the rifle.
