Shooting the full auto FN P90 submachine gun

Originally developed in 1986 and put into production in 1990 as part of the Personal Defense Weapon program as requested by NATO. Their goal was to find a small, compact, and capable system that could be used by vehicle crews, support personnel, and special operations forces. The platform itself was a huge undertaking as Fabrique Nationale made the decision to create a new cartridge, and then built both the Five-seven pistol and the P90 SMG around the cartridge.

Featuring a modern bullpup design, the P90 essentially fires a .22 caliber projectile at high velocity for short distances, making it ideal for certain mission profiles. It is currently in use in over 40 countries, to include over 200 law enforcement agencies here in the US alone. In 2005, FN released the semi-automatic version called the PS90.

The P90 seen here has an overall length of 19.9" and a barrel length of 10.4". It fires at a rate of fire of 1100 rounds per minute.
