The mortar fired eighty-two millimetre shells at a range of up to 3,000 metres and it only required a crew of at least three to four men in order to operate effectively. The design itself was based upon earlier French designs such as the Brandt mortar. It consisted mainly of a round baseplate and the standard bipod for infantry mortars. The total weight of the PM-37 was around 44.9 kilograms while its total length was 1.2 metres. The Standard rate of fire was thirty rounds per minute with a well trained crew and the muzzle velocity was around 200 metres per second.
