 On The Edge With the New FN P90 5.7x28mm   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The FN P90 submachine gun, along with the FiveseveN pistol, were designed to give military personnel a system of weapons that were smaller than conventional rifles and carbines, but retained the ability to penetrate soft armor and combat helmets.

 Defense Review - FN P90 PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) and FN Five-Seven Pistol Range Report
FN’s factory reticle was o.k., but I much preferred the version FN had set up with an non-factory red dot sight.
It should be noted that the rumor about the FN P90's magazine (that the ammo can get jumbled up inside the magazine, if the magazine is partially loaded and the weapon is dropped, or if the partially-loaded magazine dropped by itself, and hits the ground hard enough) is, so far, unsubstantiated.
The rumor was/is that if you drop a P90 on the ground a certain way, while the magazine is only partially loaded (close to the halfway point--25 rounds), the rounds will get jumbled in the mag, and you're done--so ya' better have a spare loaded mag ready to go.
