FN PS90

[policemedic]

Anyone have significant trigger time on this system? I've fired it, but not much more than familiarization fire. I've an opportunity to pick one up new for $799, and I'm seriously considering it.

Any input or thoughts on this platform would be appreciated.

well, you're looking at a mediocre round that's effectively wildcat in procurability, especially in today's environment.

That's enough to keep me away from it.

After reading your post, I spent some quality time with Wound Ballistics Review and on the phone. You're right, the terminal ballistics suck. Now that the numbers are clear to me, this particular FN isn't going to be an option.

Damn shame, I love the feel of the gun and compactness of the design.

Get an MP5K... although... procurability of the rounds could still be a problem... esp if you go to 147gr...

Our team had some MP5 issues before I joined the department. Suffice it to say we now have M4s and a number of .40 S&W MP5 suppressors sitting around. Long story; telling it will involve Woodford Reserve.

Interesting, I'm a big fan of the MP5 family but obviously it is a subgun and should only be employed as such. I'd like to hear about what the issues were sometime.

Yeah, I get you there. I actually really like the weapon size/design as does the wife. If FN flipped around and created a 5.56 variant, I'd look long and hard at it.

What about the F2000/FS2000?

Nothing related to the gun's performance; the MP5 family rocks. The rest I'll tell you in person.

No. That thing is unwieldly as all get out. I'm talking P90 basically just widened and lengthened slightly to handle a 50 round mag up top. Literally just a fatty P90, and then it'd be cool. Same OAL or as minimal of a length change to accommodate the caliber.

I have put about 3k of rounds down range with it.... its a fun shoot. I have also had one in one of my Intro to Tactical Rifle courses I teach. Very fun, and it has some great points... especially as a vehicle gun. Other than that.... ammo can be a bitch to find.... and as others have said, terminal ballistics.... hell, just go shoot some steel and you will see the concern. I have it on my list of "Fun Guns to Own".... but that's it.... there are still a few in front of it.
