The coolest thing about it is the cartridge. Imo

Modern Warfare 2 does it right. The cartridge is transparent and you can see how much bullets you got left in the magazine. Look really cool.

I like mine. The round is expensive however so going to the range with it is a a treat rather than an every range trip type of thing.
I never bothered to SBR mine for that very reason.
Sadly COD and BF got me addicted to gun collecting and a lot of my purchases were based off of those games. Splinter cell made me buy my MK 23.
It’s an expensive hobby and being a gamer doesn’t help because you naturally want the real deal (minus the fun switch) after fucking around with them in games.

It's not weird its French 
"Fabrique Nationale Projet 90" = National Factory Project 90 (makes you wonder about the 89 other projects...)
900 shots per minute, 50 bullets in a mag (I don't know anything about gun but i'm guessing those are the important characteristics)
French gun FTW

It short for 1990. Aka, the year the weapon was commissioned to enter service.

and belgians are the french we have at home, so not entirely wrong on my part
Thanks but I'd rather believe there is 89 secret projects than your explanation focusing on facts and reality

You don't get claim things for your country, just because you like them.
France has made many interesting weapons for centuries, but the P90 is not one of them.

It's hard to be trolling (even gently) when you are such a collected individual...
I was totally wrong, i always thought that the fnp90 was a french rifle, maybe because it equipped french special forces in the 90s when i was a child (and as such really impressionable). I think us french stopped making good tools of war, or being good at war after Napoléon, and i don't see anything wrong in that, let us focus on making love, not war. And i mean it litteraly.

Seriously dude, you have to study your countries history a bit better.
For example, one of the most important weapons of all time, is a French rifle. The Lebel rifle, also known as Fusil Mle 1886 M93, was the first rifle ever to use smokeless powder.
Over night, this rifle made all other rifles in the world, obsolete. No other small arm had such a impact.
Or we should remember the Chassepot, aka Fusil modèle 1866. Used during the French-Prussian war, it was much better than the Dreyse needle-gun, and was a gigantic advantage for the French army.
It was the Krupp's artillery that gave the Prussians the victory.
Even recently, you had the Famas, a widely praised bullpup.
And mind you, I'm skipping a lot of great French small arms.
But even your military had some important victories, after the Napoleonic era. Remember WW1, for example.
Well except it's the semiauto version right? They won't let us buy the new cool new full auto stuff any more. (I mean unless you're a cop.)

I had no idea the P90 was Belgian. I only saw it in Stargate SG1 and assumed there was some advertising deal for a US brand in there.
Still think it's an ugly gun anyway. Like "what if someone made a rifle for Playmobils and then adapted it for real humans ?".
*e - thinking about it, the French dub for Stargate SG1 should be changed from "P-quatre-vingt-dix" to "P-nonante" then.

Are you the dude in the video ? Or do you just love weapons this much :/
Im kidding your interest seems to stem from love of History more than love of « violence »
I don’t intend to educate myself on guns, I find other topics more suitable for my interests (sorry i don’t know how to say it in English and not sound like a tremendous douchebag), but at least your post made me realize my mistake, it is the famas that was french special forces weapon of choice not the fnp90. I mixed up both.
The famas was another weird francophone (
) video game gun, as it was used in metal gear solid if I’m not mistaken.

I love history and wars are one of the most brutal catalyst of change in history. So understanding the guns used, is a part of it.
Although I find weapons very interesting, I'm also for strict gun control, as I don't want my country to became a cluster of mass shootings like the USA.
I live in the 6th most peaceful country in the world, and I would very much like to keep it that way.
