What is FN P90?
[[Image:FN-P90.PNG|right|250px]] The '''FN P90''' is a very short [[personal defense weapon]] made by [[FN Herstal]]. It was made to replace [[9x19mm Parabellum]] [[Submachine gun|submachine guns]] in [[NATO]] because NATO needed a small [[Automatic firearm|automatic]] [[weapon]] for non-combat specialists to protect themselves and could shoot through [[Body armour|body armor]]. The P90 shoots the [[FN 5.7x28mm]] bullet, the same bullet as the [[FN Five-seven]] [[pistol]]. It is a small, high-velocity bullet that can shoot through body armor. The P90 has a rare feature where the [[Magazine (firearms)|box magazine]] is loaded parallel to the gun's [[Barrel (weapons)|barrel]] rather than perpendicular to it. Each magazine can hold 50 bullets. The P90 fires at a fast 900 rounds per minute (RPM). The P90 is fully [[Ambidexterity|ambidextrous]], which means both right-handed and left-handed people can use the gun without any problems. It weighs only 2.6 kilograms (5.6 pounds) and is only 50.5 centimeters (19.9 inches) long. It is even small and light enough to fire with one hand. The P90 is very common in [[Military|militaries]] and police forces in NATO [[Country|countries]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://special-ops.org/fn-p90/|title=FN P90|date=2016-02-01|website=Spec Ops Magazine|language=en-US|access-date=2020-07-16}}</ref> A [[Semi-automatic firearm|semi-automatic]] only version called the '''PS-90''' can be bought and used for [[civilian]] purposes. == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Firearms]]
