What do you think of the P-90?

For some reason the gun just fascinates me, and it seems so 21st century

Good for vehicle crews I guess.

I have the Paint ball gun and the shape of it is just too good to be true

Initially, I thought you were talking about something like this: http://www.globalhobby.com/public/mo...ery/123745.asp and I was very confusled.

I've since realized you were talking about this: http://www.fnmfg.com/products/p90/p90.htm and feel kinda silly.

My thoughts on that gun? Its pretty damn ugly, but the shape looks to be very effective.

The rounds lack stopping power and the clip is unreliable, the rounds get jumbled up. Those are complaints I've heard

true it still has some 21st century problems, but its nice to see that people have a blast with the stun option "stun". lol
it is actually used in the movie stargate sg1 and atlantis, it seems to get the punch on aliens

Stargate Atlantis... I seen the series sometimes it's the only thing on so...
Anyways in terms of gear, tactics, etc. they just missed it big time.
US Marines using P-90s as their main weapon.
No M-203s anywhere.
No AGLs.
The LMG they had in the pilot episode went missing in action later.

They used the P-90 because it looked futuristic.
Might as well go and grab a few Calicos too then.

thats true that was part of the reason to use it, but the thing is sold for $1300, that means it still has a punch

Ugly. I think it's not worth going to high tech in the weapon designs. The "Traditional" designs work well anyway, so why try and change what isn't broken.
