This entry details the FN P90's unique features, including its 50-round translucent magazine and the specialized 5.7x28mm cartridge designed for armor penetration. It highlights the P90's role within NATO's Personal Defense Weapon system requirements, as explained by firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson from the Royal Armouries.

This video provides an expert-level breakdown of Personal Defense Weapons (PDWs), classifying them into four distinct types based on their design philosophy and intended role. It details the trade-offs inherent in PDW design, such as compactness versus ballistics, and explores specific examples like the FN P90 and H&K MP7, highlighting their offensive and defensive applications. The analysis emphasizes the PDW's unique position between pistols and submachine guns for specialized personnel.

The FN P90 is presented as the world's first holographic micro dot sight, designed as an integral part of the firearm system rather than an add-on. It utilizes image guide technology with a nanostructured flat glass waveguide for a clear sight picture and faster target acquisition. The sight is engineered for compactness, lightweight, and durability, proven to maintain zero through thousands of rounds and impacts. It features an auto-brightness capability and is constructed with hydrophobic glass and IP68 sealing for reliable performance in harsh conditions.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a high-profile firearms influencer, conducting an experimental ballistic gel test. He demonstrates the terminal ballistics of several firearms, including the Heckler & Koch MP7, dual-wielded 1911s, a Desert Eagle, and an HK G3, all fired in full-auto. The tests highlight the penetration and destructive power of various calibers and firearm platforms against a realistic ballistic torso.

This video demonstrates the FN P90 in a desert environment, showcasing its full-auto capabilities. The shooter, identified as a firearms enthusiast and influencer, highlights proper PPE usage and controlled firing techniques. The P90's bullpup design and 5.7x28mm caliber are implicitly demonstrated through its compact nature and firing characteristics.

This short explains the meaning of the 'П' marking on Kalashnikov rifles, which signifies the 'Postoyannaya' or battle sight zero. The zero distance varies by caliber: 300 meters for 7.62x39mm (like the AK-103) and 400 meters for 5.45x39mm variants (AK-74, AK-105, AK-12). The AKS-74U 'Krink' has a 200-meter battle sight zero.

This guide details the field stripping and cleaning process for the Ruger Mark IV Tactical .22LR, emphasizing its improved single-button takedown. Expert analysis highlights its reliability and suitability as a suppressor host, with a timed cleaning demonstration showing efficiency.

This guide details the technique for engaging targets at extreme ranges with a Kar98k Sniper and ZF39 scope, as demonstrated by 9-Hole Reviews. It emphasizes using the reticle for ranging and holdovers due to the lack of external adjustment dials, requiring significant shooter skill in estimating wind and elevation. The instruction highlights the historical context of German sniper doctrine and the practical application of vintage optics for long-range accuracy.

This review details a practical accuracy test of the M21 SWS, a sniper variant of the M14 rifle, chambered in .308 Winchester. The test engaged targets from 150 to 800 yards under challenging environmental conditions. Despite a mechanical jam and shooter error, the rifle achieved a 32 out of 40 hit ratio, demonstrating its capability at extended ranges.
