Milsurps / Prohib FN P90 Appreciation Post (PS-90)
Howdy Folks
The Texan is back with yet another gun appreciation post, where today we have the FN P90, or as it is called in the Civilian market, the PS-90.
Once was available in Canada, and now no longer is due to it now being classified as a Prohibited Weapon.
Still though, it is a cool gun to talk about because for many of us who are Gamers or Weebs, well let’s just say that the P90 gave many people nostalgia, and its easily one of the most recognizable weapons on the planet.
Anyways
Enjoy!

My favorite firearm that I owned but the 5 round limit made it a total chore to shoot because of how bulky and expensive the mags are, along with their unique loading mechanism that requires more finesse than virtually any other carbine. The mags were translucent and you couldn't even see the bullets in it if you only loaded 5 since they would only just start exiting the feed mechanism.
As much as the situation sucks here, don't feel bad if you didn't get to own one here because this gun was already totally neutered by the firearms act even when it was available.
Oh also it was not allowed in most action shooting matches since the power factor was too low. You wouldn't want to shoot a match with it anyway since the $100 magazines are extremely brittle and not meant to be dropped.
