Description
The FN P90 was developed to be a
replacement for the conventional sub-machinegun,
specifically for military use. The goal was to
develop a weapon that could easily penetrate
body-armor, was lightweight, small, had a large
magazine capacity, and low recoil. The P90 and the
cartridge that it fires (the SS-190) were the
result. Capable of easily penetrating body-armor,
the P90 has been adopted by numerous government
agencies all over the world, although real large
orders have not been placed. Its most public
appearance so far was during the siege on a Japanese
embassy: When the Embassy was stormed, security
troops shot the terrorist leader with a P90 -- right
through his body-armor.
