From Goldeneye 007 to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare via Stargate SG-1, the FN P90 has cemented itself as one of the most iconic SMGs in pop culture. With the help of Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, we break down what makes this unique PDW so iconic, and why games have embraced this weird little SMG.
In this episode of Loadout, Dave Jewitt visits the Royal Armouries to talk to Keeper of Firearms & Artillery Jonathan Ferguson to chat about one of pop culture’s most iconic submachine guns, the P90.

Oh yea ! 👍 Somehow it took me ages to realize, that most of the human weapon systems are far superior to the goa'uld's...its because their behavior, armors and weapons and last but not least, voices are intimidating...but they get bushwacked by human weapons all the time...at least in close quarter combat...the goa'uld have space ships and teleportation and their hand thingys with healing capabilities...so they have that 😅

In one SG-1 episode they have their clones/robot doubles doing missions and you see them going through the Stargate and i thought "Hey, why are they carrying MP5s again?". It made sense because the robots didnt have the newer P90s and was so happy they put the detail into the show.

@PewPew_McPewster Год назад

As a kid I loved the P90 in Counter strike, it looked so cool and was so sci-fi even down to its unique loading mechanism. I never thought of it as realistic or functional so my mind was blown researching into this piece and learning how actually it had loads of tactical advantages like the downward bullet ejection or the fact that keeping track of your rounds is easy. And apparently it doesn't jam much despite the wacky feed mechanism! Truly a marvel of engineering.

@YeeSoest Год назад

I fell in love with the looks and the easy correcting for recoil (straight up, slowly pull down and you're golden!) made the P90 my go to gun in many cases. My favorite SMG and it even radiates to the point where the 5-7 is my favorite pistol just because it uses the same ammo

@jeffbenton6183 Год назад

@@YeeSoest In addition to all the other advantages, it seems to me that more police units should carry the P90 and 5-7 because there's less of a risk of stray bullets. The rounds, though (soft) armor-piercing, are lighter than typical 9mm pistol rounds, so they lose energy earlier, so they don't go as far in the event of a miss (though, being faster, they also keep a flatter trajectory longer, making them easier to aim). Although, I don't shoot much, so I guess people can take what I say with a grain of salt.

@thomaswalmsley8959 Год назад

@@jeffbenton6183 it's probably a combo of 2 things. 1) cost p90s are fairly expensive, ARs are cheap in America. 2) it's my understanding also that once the police need to use something longer and packs more of punch, you might as well just get a rifle with an intermediate round, so logical just defaults to AR rifles, instead of weird "super" pistol rounds made to penatrate body armor (which isn't a concern for cops). But the biggest is probably reason #1.

As someone who owns a gun that shoots 5.7 ammo , getting ammo is the main reason the 5.7 hasn't exploded in popularity, at a dollar a round it is preeemo ammo compared to being able to get 50 rounds of 9mm for 15 dollars on when its on sale.

@generalilbis Год назад

I think ammo availability had a big effect on what guns got showcased in Stargate SG1 and Atlantis in general...I've heard tell that another big reason why the P90 became the primary PDW or close-combat weapon in SG1 was that the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq drove 9mm supply through the roof early on and the production team was struggling to get 9mm blank ammo...but there was a lot more 5.7mm available because of the smaller operational use of weapons firing that round.

@freetobe3 Год назад

@@generalilbis also, later on in the SG1 seasons and movies, Atlantis and Universe too, 5.56 based firearms became much more dominant. I'm betting it's because the AR shot up in popularity in the civilian crowd, the production of 5.56 was stabilizing as the war in Afghanistan carried on so it became easier and cheaper to use them. The G-36 was heavily featured throughout Atlantis and by the end of the show it was pretty much the common alternative to the P90. In Universe I can't even remember seeing the P90 at all.

I suppose the closest thing to what Dave’s talking about at 6:50 is the creatively named AR-57, which uses P90 magazines on an AR-15 compatible upper. Means less re-training for those already familiar with AR-10/15 derived platforms. Which has made its way into some video games, notably the COD MW reboots, although that didn’t save the company that created it.

I originally thought it was just a fictional prop for the show because it looked so sci-fi. I've been excited when it and weapons inspired by it have appeared in any games and movies. I had a period where I got into casual airsoft with my friends, and I mainly ran an automatic electric P90 where the magazine was a hopper that held an insane amount of BBs. My friends actually thought it was unfair because most of them used M4s and things with conventional magazines and had to reload while I kept spraying lol. Downside was when it got somewhat low on BS it would feed a lot less reliably.

It didn’t get accepted, alas - I maintain it would have made an excellent Kpist 02 - but they did eventually end up making the AK5 smaller.

Love the stargate references/features! Definitely an iconic gun from both SG-1 and Atlantis. I also read (direct from co-creator Brad Wright) that they switched to the P90 for safety reasons as well as cinematic. Much safer for the talent/cast when it ejects downward since they really had fully functional ones loaded with blanks that they shot on screen. A shortage in blanks for the P90 caused by the war in Iraq(?) resulted in the “Carter special” where they made up/invented a gun chambered differently for her for a season to cut down on how many blanks they needed.

Another neat thing about the P90: because it ejects shells out of the bottom it's completely ambidextrous. You can wield this gun both left and right handed with zero issue. I believe this was one of the reasons why FN went through all the effort to design that top loading magazine besides trying to make a gun with a high ammo capacity as compact as possible. Another strange one: the Prowler from Apex Legends resembles the P90 is shape, but that's where the comparison ends. That gun is a burst firing SMG that sticks the magazines in the stock instead of the top, likely for animation reasons.

Solidus Snake in MGS2 duel wielded 2 of these bad boys. That's probably my earliest memory of this gun.

IIRC, the SG-1 crew bought up so many of the P90's and the associated rounds that they created a shortage for militaries who were looking for the weapon.

Best way to start the year with a new episode aaaaand the p90 of all guns. Thanks team!

@rpk321 Год назад

That one scene in Stargate is what make me love the P-90. I used to actually prefer the MP5 a lot more in shooter games. The feel of it is consistently nice through out many games. I like the P-90 a lot more now. But I still find myself picking up a MP5 in games more often.

@Balc0ra Год назад

Stargate SG-1 had so much variation in their weapons that it was a joy to watch. Also the first time I did see the Micro 16 and MP7 on screen frequently vs a one off. Tho there in the later seasons the P90 was at times replaced widely by the G36K.... That I personally did not mind.

@robertlinke2666 Год назад

i have a Airsoft version, and i love it. when playing cqb field, having a compact replica really enhances mobility, more then i expected. going from my G&G raider L to the tokyo marui p90 actually made a difference. also bought the TM 5-7 replica to complete the FN 5.7mm set

@Rrgr5 Год назад

There are actually two guns that I know that use that mag, AR-57 and an Keltec "pistol", funny enough Keltec also have a pretty cool bottom ejecting bullpup.

@IRMacGuyver Год назад

@8:20 remember the main reason for SG1 using the P90 is because the brass ejecting out the bottom meant the camera crew was less restricted. @9:30 ah you got around to it.

@TalosLordOfNight Год назад

They missed out not sowing the pimped out version of this gun in the original Army of 2. Diamond encrusted with a 4 foot long silencer that is so big it goes off the edge of the screen

@charlesfreeze3997 Год назад

My first experience with this, my absolute favorite gun ever, was in fact a PS2 game. Specifically Syphon Filter Omega Strain. I used some cheats to get online only stuff marked as done (because well...had no online.) The thing in that game felt like a laser beam and I just was in love with it. The one bad thing about it, is it's a pain to reload realistically in H3VR because of that fun top loading system.

@CatsT.M Год назад

The P90 is such an iconic gun in SG-1. Before I even knew a bit about firearms I instantly knew it from SG-1. Especially that one scene from The Warrior, great scene. The way they handed the weapons in the show was really good...if I remember correctly.

@SLDFSpectreSix Год назад

The P90 in MWII is my go-to SMG. I've loved it ever since I saw it in SG-1. I thought it was neat.

Decent light armor pen, 50 round magazine, intuitive feed mechanism, brilliant ejection action, wonderfully proportioned for the bullpup design, especially nice grips, and a tri-rail accessory mount. This weapon is all I ever need in any game, even going into rifle range, just pop on a nice short range scope and you're good. Tactical flashlight and laser sights optional, but functional AND badass looking.

Everytime I see a P90 I get childhood flashbacks to the rush of running around in goldeneye multiplayer gunning down my friends with its take of this gun.

That distinctive noise the P90 makes takes me back to renting Goldeneye from the local video shop before my parents finally got me a copy for Christmas back in 98.

@victorwaddell6530 Год назад

I'm a ten years US Navy veteran , radar operator and security . I bought myself an FN PS90 ( civilian version ) of the P90 for Christmas 2022 . The model I own came with standard iron sights and a rail mounted above for attaching optics . The standard iron sight system is very hard to see through and is basically useless . I mounted a ( Vortex Optics ) illuminated reticle 1- 8x low powered variable optic above the basic sights , and it's wonderful to sight through . The current price of 7.5 x 28 mm cartridges runs almost $1USD per round in 2023 . My FN PS90 loaded with one fifty round magazine and two fifty round spare magazines fits into a tennis racket case . I could walk around wearing athletic clothing with a tennis racket case in hand and nobody would suspect I was the most heavily armed man in the vicinity .

@Living_Target Год назад

I remember the xm8 trials had a "looks space age" requirement. A lot of weapons in the late 90's through the 2000's seemed to share that design desire.

@RogerWazup007 Год назад

The P90 became one of my favorite guns after playing GoldenEye and later Battlefield 3.

Back in my days of Counter Strike i used to name this gun "la engrapadora" which translates to the stapler. As a kid it looked to me like a plier stapler.

@ferrynoc Год назад

I like all the packed-in bullets the p90 has, looks very neat. Also more bullets equals more shooty per cartridge

As someone who own a Ruger 57 I can tell you the 5.7 X 28mm is a rock solid military round , very fast round , very soft shooting and a ton of ammo capacity in the magazines, I can't wait to come across a couple new PSA 5.7 Rock pistols

Great series guys! There’s a ton of content on RU-vid about real work firearms but you really slant it toward pop culture and that’s unique and eminently watchable. THEN you get Johnathon Ferguson in to help and it’s like a magical conjunction.

@LET4M4RU Год назад

My favourite weapon, from the first time I layed my eyes upon it. Its form, its way of functionning, the sheer rate of fire this thing can splurt in an instant and still have 50 rounds where other SMGs barely carry half of it...everything screams "perfect" in my eyes and it's a pure dream to be able to fire it one day, full auto, alongside my other favourites like the SCAR and the Kar98k

I loved duel welding the P90 is the Caverns mission on Goldeneye just to see on completion how much ammunition I used. I'm surprised the game Black from 2006 wasn't included, it was one of the best games for the original Xbox and my second introduction to the P90!
