The FN P90, or FN Project 1990, is a highly regarded personal defense weapon (PDW) crafted by FN Herstal in Belgium. Designed to meet NATO’s demand for a next-generation replacement for conventional 9×19mm firearms, the P90 provides a compact yet formidable option for vehicle crews, special forces, and counter-terrorism units.
With a bullpup configuration that significantly shortens its overall length while maintaining a full-length barrel, the P90 features an integrated reflex sight and fully ambidextrous controls, ensuring versatility for all users. Its innovative top-mounted magazine holds the unique 5.7×28mm ammunition known for its high-velocity and low-recoil properties, making it ideal for rapid engagements.
The P90’s futuristic design includes options for visible or infrared lasers and tritium lights, enhancing its utility in various operational circumstances. Currently deployed by military and law enforcement agencies in over 40 countries, including the United States, the FN P90 is not just a PDW; its capabilities allow it to double as a compact assault rifle or submachine gun, ensuring its place as a sought-after firearm for professionals. A civilian version, the semi-automatic PS90, has been available since 2005, making this cutting-edge weapon accessible to firearm enthusiasts.
