And In use with a silencer, what our Turkish gendarmrie use too.

Whats the range of this gun 200 metres?

[odogg]

Effective 200 m against soft body armor. Very Poverful and it has a very large magazine with 50 rounds.

[acosti]

How much does a gun like that cost?

[digrar]

It's a rifle, not a gun.

It's a rifle, not a gun.
Isn't "PDW" the technical classification? :bash:

DigrROAR?

[Lycoris]

I believe this is some kind like laser gun or pulse gun. Look at the shape, it's soooooooo "cyber". It could be a secret weapon devloped by US government, and you better start fleeing now, I bet their agents are on the way to your home already. p-)

The weapon is called p90 it was designed by FN in Herstal, Belgium.

The official classification is an SMG (submachine gun) but due to its size can allso fall under the category of PDW Personal defence weapon. has a range of 200m meters and fires aprox 900rounds per minute.

It is curently in use by many nations the photo you have included above is of the Greek Cypriot Special forces. The configuration is with "ring sight" ontop (although steel aiming sights are on the left and right of the gun incase the sight breaks) , silencer, and IR light on the side the system also has a three point sling. A designator is also built in the weapon just in front of the forward grip.

The ammunition we currently use is the SS190 AP ball FMJ is designated as armor piercing (AP) ammunition, designed to penetrate body armor. Its sale to civilians is restricted. The SS190 bullet has a steel penetrator and an aluminium core.
