Entertaining video brought to you by FN Herstal!!

Technically speaking... an ordinary civilian can't buy or own a FN-P90 by Federal law as it's a post-86 NFA full-auto firearm.

"Post-1986 Dealer Samples: Typically for an FFL/SOT to possess a post 1986 dealer sample, they need a demo request letter usually from a local police department. These post dealer samples have limited value as each time they are transfered it must be as a result of a demo letter and then oly dealer to dealer or dealer to Approved Law Enforcement Agency. Pricing on these guns most accurately reflects what list price costs would be if for some stroke of luck the Gun Owners Protection Act were to be repealed".

However... if you mean a FN-PS90 [wink] , they are MA legal and FN does manufactuer a 10 rd magazine (kind'a takes the fun out of owning one). [frown]
 
One of our IDPA guys showed up one night with the semi-auto version, so at least LEO guys are buying them in MA. It made and awefully small hole in our IDPA targets. The optical sight, at least on this one example, at dusk was useless.

There's a cool factor to it, but the round is ballistically so horrible that it's
really only good for gunning down small varmints. The wound
channel/terminal effects are like .22 magnum or thereabouts. The few
end users of the gun routinely have started whining about the lack of
stopping power. In one case the perp who was shot multiple times with
a P90 basically had asked the officers to stop shooting him with it.

I don't think the gun is really useful for most, and the semiauto version
of the same is even less useful. (Unless you want a really cool looking
varmint control gun!)

In that size class I'd rather have a .30 carbine with a folder mounted on
it or something. At least .30 carbine can make a better wound
channel. Or even a 9mm with JHP's, for that matter.

Well I stand corrected.

Yes, you can get them here, but becasue there are no preban
mags, that makes the gun somewhat pointless for an MA
resident, unless the owner of the gun is exempt in some way.
So you're stuck with the lousy 10 round magazines unless you
break the law, more or less.
