Frequently Asked Questions

What caliber is the FN P90 chambered in?

The FN P90 is chambered in the 5.7x28mm cartridge. This round was developed by FN Herstal and is known for its high velocity and relatively low recoil, making it suitable for the P90's compact platform.

What makes the FN P90's magazine design unique?

The P90 uses a distinctive 50-round magazine that stores rounds horizontally. A mechanism within the magazine rotates the rounds 90 degrees just before they are fed into the chamber, allowing for a compact profile.

How is the FN P90 disassembled for cleaning?

Disassembly is straightforward. After ensuring the firearm is unloaded, a single takedown button releases the upper receiver from the lower receiver. The bolt assembly then drops out of the upper receiver.

What is a bullpup firearm configuration?

A bullpup firearm moves the action and magazine behind the trigger group. This design allows for a shorter overall weapon length without reducing barrel length, enhancing maneuverability.
