A semi-automatic submachine gun, the PS90 mirrors the P90 in most ways (including its unique look) but is nerfed for the sake of legality and for commercial sale. This left the regular gun-owning folk of the world on the outside looking in on the P90 party – that is, until the PS90 came along in 2005. However, the P90, being an automatic submachine gun, is not available for civilian use, outside of in the Call of Duty series (note: I personally do not favor the P90 when playing COD due to the annoying and unrealistically lengthy re-load animations featured when using the gun). The P90 and its bullpup design look nothing like conventional submachine guns, or guns of any kind for that matter – it has a futuristic look that screams ‘cool’ and exciting features that we’ve come to expect from FN, a world-class firearms manufacturer. Submachine guns are not generally the most popular kind of firearm amongst civilians, but the FN P90 (also known as the FN Project 1990) is simply too special a gun to not warrant near-universal demand. While it’s often said that the submachine gun is a more compact version of the machine gun, this isn’t necessarily the case – it would be more accurate to say that the submachine gun is actually a larger, more powerful version of the handgun.

Submachine guns, or SMG’s, are essentially machine guns which use handgun ammunition rather than rifle ammunition.
