FN began developing the P90 in the late 1980s, actually preceding the NATO requirement that it would eventually compete for. The idea of the P90 was to develop a weapon for secondary troops to replace 9mm pistols and SMGs. There was an anticipated threat of Russian paratroops wearing armor that could defeat 9mm ball. The P90 was intended to be a light and handy weapon that was easily controllable without a tremendous about of training, and could defeat that sort of body armor.
The result was the 5.7x28mm cartridge, firing a 31 grain armor-piercing bullet at 2350 fps. This was combined with a simple blowback action and a Hall-style 50-round magazine in a fully ambidextrous, bullpup layout. The gun was introduced onto the market in 1990, and has been widely purchased by security and special operations organizations. In its original intended role for support troops, it has only been adopted by Belgium.

  • You know one of the main reasons the P90 was used on Stargate SG-1 was the ejection of spent cartridges straight down meant they could get better close ups of the actors without having to worry about cartridges flying around. Edit - they used so much blank P90 ammo on the show they cause a minor supply shortage as the 5.7 x 28 round was not exactly commonplace.

  • To be fair to the Stargate crowd, the choice of arming their main characters with the P90 makes absolute sense (on paper at least) when you consider the teams mission profile and what this weapon is designed to do. That is a team that is sent to explore without transport (meaning a compact and light weight design is highly desirable) without much in the way of support (meaning a large capacity cartridge is pretty handy) without intending to go into direct combat but if they do go into a fight their most regular foe is known for wearing body armour.

    • The other bonus of the P90 was that you could carry a LOT of ammo for it on your body, the cartridge is pretty small and the ammo is rather light because of it. You can carry 500 rounds of 5.7x28 a lot easier than 500 rounds of .308. For small quick reaction teams that need to move fast (like the SG teams), it seems like the ideal firearm.

    • @@Edax_Royeaux Exploration does not require engagement. Range isn't so useful in a forest and binoculars are much lighter. It's notable that SG-1's typical foes had a shorter effective range than a P90. The team also started to rely on aerial drones. A lot of the areas they had to explore manually would have been short range environments. Caves, forests, buildings. The small team size would also make it awkward to have a dedicated marksman. Typically the team is either being ambushed or choosing when to engage. When they do engage it's rapid strikes and retreats. There are surprisingly few opportunities to make use of range. But sometimes with prior knowledge it would make sense to take different equipment. P90s as default gear for the unknown gives them a lot of firepower that will let them leave quickly.

  • If you've ever held one, you get the sense of why special operations might want to use it. It is TINY compared to an M4. It fits very nicely into your shoulder and is very ergonomically designed. The tip of the barrel is closer than if you were wielding a pistol, meaning, clearing a room and spinning/turning is extremely easy and you can do it much quicker than with something longer. The added benefit of the 50rd magazine and light weight just add to that benefit.

He concludes that the armor specified was actually a conceptual one, far less effective than what the Soviets actually had, but guaranteed to prevent a 9mm firearm from being adopted. He refers to another KZheadr showing that neither 5.7 or 4.6 would penetrate actual Soviet body armor of the time.

One of my collegue engineer whom worked on it explained to me that the play was left to accomodate for the thermal dilatation of the barrel, so that it doesn't get seized in it's assembly. But it wasn't designed to opperate with a short barrel recoil and is considered a simple blowback.

    • Funny thing with the P90 specifically: way back in the ancient year of 2004, Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica were airing their first seasons on the SyFy channel and Stargate SG-1 was airing its 8th season. All three shows used the P90 as the main rifle of their soldiers. When BSG came back for its second season, they switched to the Beretta Cx4 Storm, simply because the P90 was already in use on two other shows and BSG didn't want it to look like they were copying weapons from SGA and SG1. Coincidentally, the attachments they used on the Cx4 to make it look more futuristic would become highly sought after due to the popularity of the show.

    • The first part of your statement is correct, the second part is - to my knowledge (only Wikipedia, take with a grain of salt) incorrect. It *does* prevent collateral damage, but because it looses energy faster than a 9x19mm (because it's lighter) - so there's less of a stray bullet problem. It also has a flatter trajectory (because it's faster). The 5.7x28 *does* tumble because it's a spitzer round, but it can loose energy that way; I haven't heard of it deforming, but I'm no expert.

The light recoil makes it easy to handle, the USG sight can be purchased now with an illuminated reticle, and the capacity makes round count a non-issue in a stressful situation. Another great detail of this weapon is that it was designed to be snag free. Notice how most of the exposed surfaces have been rounded off to prevent catching onto gear or clothing in tight handling situations. It is also extremely easy to use with one arm should the situation call for it (they really thought about the truck drivers lol)
