LR,
I've spent an extended amount of time with the P90 as per a LEO & military only exposition several years ago featuring FN marketing it's wares to govt. & paramilitary buyers. I was there for work reasons with another vendor client of ours.
I could fire it in FA one handed and easily stay on target out to 50' (max distance of backstop). It feel like shooting a .22 only with a little more kick and roughly the same noise report. The mfr. rep did a demo firing two P90s in either hand and was able to stay on target with two targets simultaneously without much in the way of visible difficulty.
The ammo for it is tiny and the loadign sytstem is pretty easy. The whole thing breaks down with no tools to IIRC 4 or 5 basic components.
Long story short I fell in love with the thign that day and have wanted one ever since.
Only problem is the ammo is non-standard and very expensive.
On the other hand though for govt. and LEO buyers each magazine fully loaded weighs lesst han a single loaded AR mag and can holdup to 50 rounds per mag as I recall. Loading the mags is easy but tedious because the round is so small.
Nothing much else to say other than it's an ergonomic designmore comfortable to hold than any other rifle I've tried and it's lightweight too.
CN: It's badass.
