P90

"Developed as a personal defense weapon (PDW), this compact, bullpup-style submachine gun uses 5.7mm ammo and is known for its high rate of fire."

- The Arsenal

The FN P90 (Fabrique Nationale Project 9.0) is a Belgian SMG introduced (after many requests) in the 11-12-08 Patch. The P90 uses a 5.7x28mm round which is unique to it and the FN Five-seven; however, in real life, it is a Personal Defense Weapon. It is unlocked at Staff Sergeant II.



Overview
Its main features are the built-in reflex sight, a high capacity magazine housing 50 rounds, high rate of fire, pinpoint accuracy, and negligible recoil. The hefty pricetag of 1100 GP on the P90 makes it more costly than any other automatic firearm that is not a light/medium machinegun, but this money goes towards the scope (which is usually 150GP) and the extra ammo per clip. It should be considered that the P90 essentially has more ammo per clip than most submachine guns or assault rifles fitted with an Extended Magazine (which costs 200GP-400GP). The only exception for this is the UMP, which combined with the Extended Magazine II, gives it 50 bullets per clip. Nevertheless, this actually means that the P90, along with its features, come at a lower cost then other (customized) guns.

To compensate for its high rate of fire and large magazine capacity, it only has 50 rounds of backup ammo and no Extended Magazine option. The P90 also reloads much slower than other SMGs, although this is probably to balance out the increased ammo count per clip with a longer reload time.

Customization
The P90 comes equipped with a built in Red Dot Sight. The inbuilt scope is rather accurate compared to the ACOG scopes. When zoomed in, the player will move a bit slower when sprinting forward and moving from side to side.

Furthermore, the P90 can utilize a Suppressor. It is relatively common for a P90 user to fit a P90 with an S1 Suppressor, which decreases damage, but lessens the recoil even further.

Complaints
Many players complain that the P90 is overpowered, and also claim that it is too accurate and powerful, being able to kill an enemy in a minimum of 4 shots (three body, one head shot... and with a low magnification scope, that headshot is surprisingly easy to get). Others complain that it is too expensive, arguing that even though it is powerful it lacks sufficient ammo.
