History

The FN P90 ("Project 90") is a Belgian-designed personal defense weapon developed and manufactured in the 1980s. The P90 is chambered in 5.7x28mm, which, though classified as a pistol round, is more akin to a miniaturized rifle cartridge. This round has been criticized for having less stopping power than 9x19mm, and as a result the P90 has been dropped by several groups that formerly used it. It is fed by a horizontal translucent 50-round magazine. The base of the magazine is toward the barrel. The cartridges are fed into a spiral feed ramp, where they are rotated 90 degrees into the chamber. This unique feeding design accommodates a 900 rounds per minute firing rate and makes the weapon very compact. Technically, this makes it a bullpup design, as the magazine well is rearward of the trigger. Spent casings exit through the bottom of the weapon, allowing the weapon to be used either right-handed or left-handed. The weapon's stock sight is a tritium reflex sight, though it also has iron sights as backup.

Singleplayer

The P90 is a rare weapon used only occasionally by Russian Ultranationalists on the later levels of the game. It can be found in Heat and Mile High Club. Typically, the weapon is unsuppressed and uses iron sights. However, there is also a suppressed version using a M4A1 SOPMOD-type red-dot sight instead of iron sights, called the "P90 SD" found in All Ghillied Up, specifically, on the body of the enemy soldier Cpt. MacMillan says "Oy, Suzy!" to.

The defining weapon of the SMG class. The P90 is known for it's obscene rate of fire of 925 RPM and huge capacity of 50 rounds per magazine. It actually does less damage than the MP5, 30-20 but easily makes up for that in other areas. It has a fair amount of kick but the recoil is confined to a fairly small area so you can spray and pray to your hearts content.

The P90 has very high recoil, but if you just shoot in spurts it works well. You don't have as much range with the P90, so this gun is more for close quarters.
