May have an incredible deal available to me, but know nothing about this gun other than what I saw on TopShot a season or 2 ago.

thoughts?
ugly IMO...does have a certain cool factor to it though...

But beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess...









Stopping Power for Close Combat

The FN P90® submachine gun and the SS190 ball ammunition team up to defeat the enemy in all close combat situations.

High Accuracy

The high velocity of the 5.7x28mm ammunition guarantees a virtually flat trajectory up to 200m for outstanding accuracy.

Fully Reliable

The simple design of the mechanism, the unique feed mechanism and the materials used to manufacture the FN P90® make it highly reliable, whatever the conditions.

Rapid Deployment

The FN P90® is carried ready to fire. There is no need to extend any folding buttstock. Despite its shortness, the FN P90® is designed to be fired from the shoulder, giving maximum stability.

Quick Aiming

The FN P90® Standard is fitted with an integrated optical sight without magnification. The user can therefore shoot with both eyes open. Performance is fully retained in low light conditions thanks to a tritium capsule.

Easy to Carry

The compactness of the FN P90® allows easy movement in confined areas. The magazine is fully integrated in the upper part of the FN P90® for optimized ergonomics.

Fully Ambidextrous

The cocking handle and magazine catch can be operated from both sides of the FN P90®. The fire selector is under the trigger and can be operated in either hand. Empty cartridge cases are ejected downwards. The FN P90® can therefore be handled by right- and left-handed operators without any modification.

High Magazine Capacity

Since the 5.7x28mm rounds are light and small, the magazine fitted above the barrel can accept up to 50 cartridges.

Fun to shoot. I hear that they can be made full auto with a bread tie, that's what I hear anyway.

1. Expensive as shite to shoot.

2. Magazines load weird.

3. Very short and stubby (short LOP too).

4. If you get the carbine version (non-SBR) it sticks out really far.

5. With an optic mounted, the cheek rest is way too low.

6. While the rounds eject out of the bottom behind your shoulder, it also means the bolt is more difficult to get to if there's a malfunction.

7. Did I mention it's expensive to shoot?

It is a pretty neat rifle but I don't see this as being anything special when a 5.56 will do the EXACT same thing, PLUS more.

I used to use it a lot in 007 for N64. It was pretty effective.

Those things are sweet as hell to shoot. Pricey but awesome.

Also lethal in counter strike

It is basically sold to someone else at a bit more profit if I don't buy it...I just don't know if I need to add another caliber to scrounge ammo for...especially at that calibers prices I've seen...I have to decide by tomorrow, but am finding it hard to justify the purchase, other than the cool and rare factor...it's kinda nice to have something not many others at the range have...

Heard it has to be the Gen 1, right?

The secret service uses this gun to protect our POS president. Will not support.

Perhaps the gen 1 has a dual sear that is susceptible to the bread tie, perhaps.
