The PM2 was purchased for the PNTL in 2012. Secretary of State Francisco Guterres demanded an answer after a senior PNTL officer informed Tempo Semanala that a training session showed some of the submachine guns were defective. Around PM2-V1s were reported to be defective. An inquiry was set up in 2013 to investigate the issue. PM2s are used by the PNTL during election security in 2017.
