Tbf I don’t think converting a 7.62 Tok gun to a 9mm Parabellum gun is that difficult considering that the Vietcong (with very limited or nonexistent industrial capacity) did it in reverse with the MAT-49, and it would’ve made more sense than starting up a production line for a separate cartridge.They never produced Russian small Arms ammunition in quantity. They rebarrelled captured SMG's to take 9x19mm. For a military that was notoriously shit at logistics I don't think it simplified much, compared to just manufacturing 7.62 Tokarev, and mass issuing them to specific formations.
