RAK is an Abbreviation for "Ręczny Automat Komandosów" what means: Hand-held Commando Automatic Pistol (SMG can be translated as "Pistolet Automatyczny" - "Automat"), or SMG designed for Commandos.
The PM-63 RAK submachine gun is used by the following actors in the following:
Film

- One of terrorist in Delta Force
- Ash in Avalon
Anime

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).
