Introduction
So you bought a P90? You must be a Stargate fan, right? Well, no. Ah, then you probably saw it in that James Bond movie then? Erm, nope.
The truth is that I have no real idea how I came to buy a P90. There was just something about the way the gun looked, as well as the history of the real-steel gun, which made me decide to buy it in preference to any other Airsoft gun at the time.
The Project 90 was designed and built by Fabrique Nationale Herstal as a personal defence weapon for non-combatant troops. It was chambered to fire a “miniature” armour-piercing rifle bullet which had been specially designed for the gun.
Due to its small size, large magazine capacity, and because of the type of bullet it fires, the original P90 cannot be offered for sale to the civilian market (although a modified version is been produced). Maybe this is one of the reasons the Airsoft P90 is so popular? It’s the only way that most people will ever get to own a P90, firearm licence or not.
Whatever the case, there’s something about the way the P90 looks that seems to polarise opinion. You either love it or hate it. Personally I think it looks very purposeful, a triumph of design, and I admire it for that.
First Impressions
This is the only Tokyo Marui rifle that I’ve ever bought new. The package is standard TM fare. The gun arrives in a high quality polystyrene box with a cardboard lid which should make a reasonable job of protecting the gun from the postal system. Inside are the gun, magazine, a small pack of 0.25g BBs, a loading tube, cleaning rod, an instruction manual, a handful of paper targets and, finally, a small metal flash-hider with hex-key to replace the silencer which is fitted to the gun (oddly, since it makes the box more bulky) as standard. I noticed, in passing, that the box is emblazoned with large “US-SOCOM” badges and logos which I found to be rather strange since the P90 has never (to my knowledge) seen service with any branch of the US military. I guess TM have never allowed reality to get in the way of a good marketing ploy.
I removed the gun from the box in order to give it a more thorough inspection. As with most TM guns the P90 is built almost entirely from plastic. This is the only plastic gun I own. For better or for worse, I prefer my airsoft guns to be metal. I prefer the weight, the noise and the way metal feels. With the P90, however, this isn’t an issue since the original is made largely from plastic as well.
The main body of the gun is made from a dark grey plastic which seems to offend those people who are obsessed with black guns. Personally I think the dark grey colour looks great. It’s light enough that you can see the detail in it but dark enough to be stealthy and “tactical”. The body appears to be held together with a series of hex-screws. These are, in fact, fake. It’s surprising how many times I’ve read of people damaging these “screws” while attempting to dismantle the gun which, I suppose, vouches for their realism. In fact the two halves of the guns body are simply glued together.
People accuse the P90 of being creaky or sounding “hollow”, possibly due to its design. In my experience I’ve found neither of these things to be true. The body most definitely is not creaky. It is glued together very solidly. It’s debatable whether it sounds “hollow” or not. Sure, if you tap the body it will echo slightly but no more than would be the case if you were to tap the stock of an M16 or MP5. It would be possible to fit foam inside the empty areas of the body, which would reduce any echoing, but I doubt the results would be worth the effort required.
The body has no manufacturers logos on it although the left side is stamped with “Model PROJECT 90 Cal 5.7x28 SS90” which is actually a bit of a slip by Marui since the correct designation of the P90 bullet is the SS190 rather than “SS90”. Oops!
Finally, the body has a simple sling-loop molded into the bottom side of the stock. Unfortunately there is no corresponding sling point at the front of the gun so attaching a 2 point sling will require some ingenuity or additional parts. Personally, I use a simple loop sling which fits through the rear sling point.
The receiver is made from a hard black plastic and embossed with realistic “P90 Cal 5.7x28” markings along with a non-unique serial number on the left side. On the right hand side are some tiny Tokyo Marui and ASGK trademarks. The receiver detaches from the body of the gun by means of a simple catch located near the BB feed port and locks into a large pin at the front of the body to hold it in place. This is by far the easiest gun to disassemble that I have seen.
The receiver is fitted with a metal rail along the top, which also has cast into it a tiny set of iron sights. There is also a short accessory rail bolted on to each side of the receiver (hence the “triple rail” moniker). It’s worth noting that both side rails are fixed to the receiver using a single screw. This means that the rails can pivot very slightly. If you plan on fitting a laser or flashlight to the side rails then it’s advisable remove and re-fit the side rails after applying some thread-lock to the assembly. Alternatively, the hex screws which secure the side rails should at least be tightened regularly.
The muzzle assembly is made of metal, is threaded with a standard left-hand 14mm thread, and has a locking ring to secure the silencer in place.
The silencer is the standard TM SOCOM silencer which is modelled after a pistol silencer. It is made of lightweight aluminium, painted matt black (rather than the shiny black it’s finished in for the Mk23 pistol), and filled with foam. It is a well constructed unit which makes a good job of reducing the muzzle crack when the gun fires although it, obviously, can do nothing about the mechanical noise generated when an AEG fires. Note that, although this is the same silencer supplied with the TM Mk23, the thread on the end is a standard 14mm –ve thread rather than the unique 16mm +ve thread used on the Mk23 barrel.
The magazine is a masterpiece of design. It is constructed of semi-transparent plastic and embossed with authentic “Mod P90 - 50 round magazine - 2001 - Restricted Law Enforcement/Government use only” markings and contains an almost full cache of fake bullets which hide the BBs underneath. From almost all angles the magazine looks entirely real. The only thing which gives it away as an Airsoft magazine is the small BB port just forward of where the genuine item would dispense bullets.
The controls on the P90 are very straightforward. They consist of a fully ambidextrous charging handle, fire selector and magazine catch. The movable but non-functional charging handle, which is found at the bottom of the receiver, operates with a loud “TWANG” If you allow it to spring forward by itself.
The rotary fire select control, which is positioned directly below the trigger, has Safe, Semi-Auto and Full-Auto settings denoted by “0”, “1” and “A” on the selector. The fire selector works by allowing the trigger to pull back different distances depending on if the user selects semi-auto or full-auto. This means that it’s possible to set the gun to full-auto and still fire in semi by simply squeezing the trigger half way back.
Finally, the magazine release catch is positioned just behind the magazine and allows you to release the magazine by pressing the catch backwards on either side.
All in all the P90 looks very small and compact when you see it in front of you. When aiming the gun, however, it feels very comfortable. A quick comparison shows that the distance from butt to trigger and sight position is almost identical to an MP5. It’s just that the gun ends right in front of the trigger instead of having another 30cm of barrel and foregrip in the front.
Shooting
Before you can shoot the P90 you must fit it with a battery. In order to do this you need to slide off the butt-plate to fit a battery in the stock. The butt-plate is designed with a small catch built into it which you need to depress before the butt plate will slide off. This should prevent it from getting lost in the heat of battle as often occurs with guns such as the G3 or MP5. The battery fits into its compartment snugly and securely, better, in fact, than any other gun I own. As well as the standard 600mAh NiCd (or 1100mAh NiMh) mini-battery there are several J-shaped batteries for sale which fit the P90 and can increase the battery capacity substantially. Personally, I stick with standard mini-batteries which I can swap from one gun to another.
Loading the magazine is interesting. You fill the BB tube with 70-odd (officially 68) BBs and then place the magazine on its back, hold the tube up to the BB port and then push the rod down into the tube, forcing the BBs into the magazine. In practice I found that this operation was rather clunky although a spray of silicon lube into the magazine eased things considerably. Ideally, a speed-loader of some sort makes the job of loading the magazine a lot less unwieldy. Looking at the underneath of the magazine it’s just about possible to see the BBs feeding into position and so judge exactly how full the magazine is although once the magazine is in the gun there is no way to tell how many BBs remain.
Fitting the magazine into place is slightly awkward. You need to slide the front end of the magazine into position inside the receiver and then press down on the rear portion to clip it positively into place. This is one reason why the P90 has met with limited approval in the real world. Firing one mag’ in self-defence is fine but if you ever need to change mag’s under fire then it’s far easier to do using something like an MP5k or the new MP7 instead. Actually removing a new magazine from a pouch, swapping it for the used one and then stowing the empty mag can be quite a convoluted task although it does get easier with a bit of practice.
So we’ve got the battery in place and the magazine loaded and inserted into the gun.
It feels very natural to bring the gun to shoulder. I’m 6’ tall and average build and I certainly don’t find the gun cramped in use. I have to wonder if those who say the gun is “too small” are actually hoping to use a gun to compensate for something else?!
I tested the gun at my local airsoft site at a range of 15m. For the sake of completeness my initial tests were with the gun as it came out of the box, with the silencer attached and using the iron sights.
It worked fine. The silencer silenced and the sights sighted. The gun fired.
End of story, now out with the tools!
I loosened the locking ring (left handed thread, remember), removed the silencer, replaced it with the small flash hider and tightened the grub-screw underneath to secure it in place. I then fitted an Aimpoint style RDS to the top rail in preference to the desperately basic iron sights. Sure, the RDS does detract slightly from the ergonomics of the gun. Before it looked like a corn-flakes box. Now it looks like a corn-flakes box with an Aimpoint bolted to the top.
Back at the range and this is definitely more like it. The gun felt a bit gawky with the silencer attached. This is supposed to be a short gun and a huge silencer jutting out the front kind of ruined the look for me. Now, with the squat flash hider and the Aimpoint attached, this really does look like a bad-ass bit of kit.
Shouldering the gun, once again, it is immediately apparent how pointable the P90 is. If you can hold your finger 6” in front of your face without your hand moving then you can aim this gun accurately. On almost every gun the sight will be somewhere above the trigger finger. The problem is that most guns extend a couple of feet in front of this. The leverage created can cause the fore-end to wave around and make it difficult to aim accurately. This isn’t the case with the P90 (or with other bullpups to a lesser extent). The barrel starts right back near your shoulder and the muzzle is just in front of your trigger finger. It really is an incredible bit of design. In practice this means that you can hold the gun on target all day if you have to.
I aimed the gun at a target set 15m away and pulled the trigger. As was the case when firing with the iron-sights, the BBs all hit in a tight group but were well to the bottom of the target. Time to adjust the hop-up.
There is a sliding hatch in the underside of the pistol grip to allow you to adjust the hop-up but, after a quick look, I decided it looked a bit fiddly and it’d be easier (and more fun) to adjust accurately with the receiver dismantled. Removing the part-full magazine spilled 3 or 4 BBs (as usual) and pressing the latch allowed the receiver to slide easily out of the body. With the receiver in my hand it was simple to dial the exact required amount of hop. I quickly had the gun reassembled and shooting accurately.
Punching accurate holes in paper targets was now ridiculously easy. Point and shoot. Idiot-proof. There really is no skill required to shoot the P90 incredibly accurately. With an RDS fitted it is simply a matter of placing the dot over your target and pulling the trigger. The BBs will go where you point. Perfect!
With the real gun I imagine that the short barrel, coupled with sharp recoil, might mean that the P90 is only accurate over short distances. Given the power of Airsoft guns, however, I reckon that the accuracy of the P90 is a match for any other gun out there. Added to the fact that it is so easy to aim, this means the P90 will often outshine guns which should give superior performance.
For comparison, I tested the P90 against all the other guns I own, including my SG1 which is fitted with pretty-much every available upgrade. The results showed that, at around 20m, the P90 had better accuracy than all my other guns and could only be equalled by my SG1. The P90 really is that stable. It’s only at distances over 30m where the stock TM spring means that it gets out-shot by guns with more power.
There is, however, a down side. My own experience of the P90, when firing in semi-automatic, is less than perfect. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever managed to fire off a whole magazine in semi-auto without the guns gearbox jamming. Attempting to fire rapidly in semi-auto will almost certainly cause the gun to jam within a dozen or so shots. Personally, I’ve always been able to un-jam the gun by switching to full auto and squeezing off a few shots. I have, however, heard of owners being forced to dismantle their guns and reset part of the internal trigger-disconnect mechanism before the gun will fire again.
People often talk about generic faults such as the weakness of Classic Army spring guides, the short lifespan of TOP bellows units, or the fragile nature of ICS tappet plates. They seem far less keen to acknowledge that the TM P90 is particularly prone to jamming when fired in semi-auto though. After all, TM guns are supposed to be faultless. Aren’t they?
When firing in full auto it’s surprising how quickly the lo-cap magazine can be emptied. The optional hi-cap magazines are also a bit of a mixed blessing. While allowing 300 shots between reloads they are prone to jamming and also lack the cool-looking fake bullets which the lo-cap has. Personally I try to use lo-caps whenever possible, for reliability, and only put a hi-cap in if I think the situation calls for it.
Technical
My P90 is the one gun I’ve left entirely stock except for a couple of small modifications.
I took the silencer off the gun on the day that I bought it and have never replaced it. The gun was not bought to be a sniper rifle (although it could quite possibly fulfil that role) and so sneaky shots are not necessary.
It’s quite feasible that this gun could be fitted with a tight-bore barrel and a stronger spring and used as a sniper rifle (semi-auto reliability aside) or as a woodland primary rifle. I have other guns for those roles, though, and the standard P90 is perfect for a sniper back-up or, because it’s not massively powerful, it’s also good for CQB.
As I already said, I fitted an Aimpoint replica to my gun. I originally wanted the standard P90 rather than the P90TR. With hindsight I think buying the TR was the right decision. The RDS built into the standard P90 is tiny and using it while wearing a full-face mask, or even goggles, is very difficult. The only plus I can see about the standard P90 is that it is possible to buy a replacement metal receiver assembly for it. No such metal part is available for the TR.
As usual, I do like to fiddle with things if I think I can improve them. On this occasion I decided that the twanging noise that the charging handle made was unacceptable and could be easily fixed. This was accomplished by stripping down the receiver and removing the brass barrel. It was then possible to wrap the barrel in a length of plastic sleeving which stopped the charging handle spring vibrating loudly. A hole through the centre part of the receiver had to be enlarged slightly so that the barrel, wrapped in the plastic sleeve, could slot back through it but once that was done the receiver could be reassembled normally. This small modification almost completely removed the twanging noise from the charging handle, replacing it with a much more agreeable click-clack noise.
Summary
I actually wonder if there’s any point in writing a review of the TM P90. It’s a gun which most people either love or hate. If you love it then I’m preaching to the converted. If you hate it then no amount of glowing reviews are going to make you buy a gun which, after all, does owe a lot of its design to a corn-flakes box.
If you’re looking for a cheap(ish) AEG to use in CQB or as a back-up then the P90 really is worth considering in preference to something like an MP5K, especially if you want something a bit individual. The airsoft P90 seems to fulfil a similar role to its real-steel counterpart. It really excels as a PDW or in CQB. The only thing I wouldn’t try to do with it is fit a long, tight-bore, barrel through the silencer and use it as some kind of sniper rifle. It simply isn’t reliable enough in semi-auto.
Like it or loathe it, the P90 is an iconic design. It’s just one of those shapes that everybody recognises, and that must be a good thing, right?
Tokyo Marui sells 2 versions of the P90. The standard version has been difficult to obtain for a long while so if you want a rare gun then this definitely is the one to go for. This gun, with its built-in red-dot sight, probably does also look slightly more ergonomic that the TR.
If you want practicality, however, the TR is the one to opt for. The 2 additional rails allow you to bolt a laser and/or TAC light to the gun easily and fitting a proper RDS will allow you to aim much more easily than the integral RDS on the standard P90. To be honest, there’s an element of “swings and roundabouts” about buying a scope for the TR since, even though you’ll have to spend another £50 on a decent RDS, it does come with a SOCOM silencer. The silencer, alone, retails for about £45 so I guess it just about works out even. Well, it would do if I ever actually used the silencer, at least! Anyway, I’m happy to have the gun. It fills a nice little niche as a sniper back-up and is ideal for CQB where even an MP5 might be too cumbersome.
All in all, one of my favourite AEGs.

Deal with it.

One little ol day I met a friend, he was into airsoft, he got me into airsoft, and it all went from there.
I recently procured $350 to spend on an AEG, my first I might add. I decided to get the TM P90 TR. I chose the TR becuase I would be able to choose my own scope and add more things with the 2 side rails. So I went down to my local airsoft store and purchased the AEG.
History of the P90:
The P90 (short for Project 90) was developed by Fabrique National as a personal defence weapon for military troops, who's primary purpose was not the use of small arms. These people include vehicle drivers, operators of crew-served weapons, support personnel and other troops who are often issued sidearms or submachine guns. The goal of the project was to create a super compact smg with maximum damage, using the 5.7x28mm round. Now to the good stuff.
Looks:
The TM P90 TR looks great. It has full trademarks, and no detail was left out. From the magazine, to the ejection port on the bottom of the gun, all the detail is there.
The box is like all of the TM AEG boxes, same color, just different pictures and names (well, all the TM boxes I have seen).
So this is what I opened the box to. The supressor is either on the gun, or placed under the mag that comes with the gun. The magazine is a 68rnd magazine. The highcaps hold 300rnds.
The hopup is housed just above the area directly behind the trigger.

The fire slector is also neat. It is self explanitory, but on auto, you have to make sure you pull ALL the way back on the trigger to actually go full auto.
This is the P90 broken down to the point before you start actually TAKING it apart.
There is also not a lot of metal on the P90. THe only things metal on the outside are the flashhider, and the RIS rails. The upper reciever is plastic, but a couple of companies make metal replacement recievers, just not for the TR version. Also, the sights on the TR are intergrated into the top RIS rail.
Build Quality:
The real steel P90 is made mostly of a composite plastic (if thats what you want to call it), and so it is with the TM P90. The plastic is of good quality, and there are no skweaking problems or anything, and the gun feels really solid while you are holding it, which also happens to be very comfortable, since I am a small person.
Performance:
The performance for the P90 is good, but sort of low on the FPS end, only shooting around 260 - 270 fps. There are plenty of good performance upgrades out there for the P90 though, so boosting the FPS is not a challenge. The P90 also uses a mini battery, but the mini butterfly battery packs also fit, along with custom J packs. The P90 uses Marui's latest motor, the EG1000 and version 6 gearbox. The TM P90 has almost the exact rate of fire of the real P90, only falling short by 50 - 100 rounds per min short. The TM version is also only 400g less than the real steel.
Range + Accuracy:
Well, as for range an accuracy:
The P90 has great range for being a small AEG. I use .25s, and they go pretty far, about 100 feet or so while staying decently accurate. Of couse it can go farther, but there is a definate accuracy loss. Overall accuracy is pretty good, the iron sights actually do a pretty good job, but it is a pain that you can't adjust them. You pratically have to adjust the hop-up to the iron sights, but getting a red dot solves that problem. Definately with some upgrades, this gun can challenge bigger rifles without a problem.
Upgrades:
Hurricane makes an upgrade kit just for the P90. It will increase the FPS of the gun to about 380. Also adding a tightbore (6.04) barrel and a Deep Fire piston will help a bunch. And don't forget a 9.6v battery for the upgraded P90. I personally have those upgrades and my P-90 now has unbelievable range and accuracy.
Upgrade Potential: 10/10 -There are many things you can get to upgrade your P90, but there still isn't a metal replacement reciever for the TR version.
Performance: 8/10 -Its a bit on the lower end of the FPS grid when compared to other weapons, but this is easily changed with some nice upgrades.
Build Quality: 10/10 -The gun fells really solid, and I wouldn't worry if I accidentally dropped it.
Value for Money: 10/10 -You certainly get a lot out of this little AEG.
Overall: 10/10 -I wouldn't trade my P90 for anything.

Tokyo Marui P-90 TR Review by mILILANIsHOOTER
(review done in Mililani, Oahu) (56k beware...lots of pics)
Why a P-90?
well for the looks and its uniqueness, and its different than all of the those armalite guns out there....u know who im talking about.....
Looks:
well what can i say, this gun is very well built and looks hella kool and realistic yet futuristic. has a very unique grip, which some people do not like about the p-90, but it also provides a very good hold on the gun. it can even be used as a side arm, but it's a little on the heavy side when u use one hand. good thing is that it comes with a silencer, and it already has 3 rails attached to it. one one the top of the reciever and 2 on the left and right sides. the selector switch is located by the trigger and can be moved right to left, and can be heard by a "click" sound. the "S" on the selector means safety, the "1" represents full-auto, and the "A" represents the automatic firing mode. the front side of the barrel has the 14mm clockwise thread. and also for the looks the p-90 has a cocking handle which moves and has a nice "clack!" sound when its pulled back, and there's no loose or broken cocking bolts here like the TM AUG's and MP5's. now for the pics....
the silencer...
the rails....
the selector switch....(sry i scratched off the "1" and the "A")
the cocking bolt.....(kinda has the white mold, from the rainy game)
Accessories:
the p-90 comes with standard weaver rails, and can mount anything from a red dot, to a high powered long scope. the side rails on the p-90 can be mounted with a light or laser or anything else that would fit it. the clips are kind of akward, but in time you will get used to them pretty fast. another thing that comes with the p-90 is the silencer. its made a metal and silence's up to about 45% of the sound (estimated), basically the silencer is a normal SOCOM style silencer w/ foam. another thing is the flashhider. its very unique and can be put on just like the silencer. usually i use the flashhider when i play CQB, and use the silencer when we play in the field, like ASH BASH of course. pics below......
P-90 w/ a Red Dot....
P-90 w/ the silencer on....(kind of bassup already)
Batteries:
the P-90 used standard 8.4 800mah battery's, but can fit up to a 8.6 1400mah in the back of the gun. u take off the butt plate by puching a button on the bottom side of the plate. then slide it down so it can come off. then place the battery in like how u would on other guns. pics below....
1400man on the left, 800mah on the right.....
the battery storage w/ the butt plate removed....
the battery in the P-90.....
Magazine:
the gun comes with the standard mag which holds 68 bb's. and has fake bullets inside of it. the high cap for the p-90 is kool, its a clear plastic (smoke colored), but this hi-cap has its downsides. the high cap has a weird winding mechanism, which is located under the clip. you wind the mag by twisteing the nob, clockwise, till u hear the mag finally click!, on average it should wind about 40 times for the clip to click. and to load up the high cap u basically take the tab on the back of the mag, and pull it back to the other side of the clip. so now hold the tab there and use your other hand to pull up the small little door so u can fill the resevoir inside the magazine. the tab wont move back until u push the door back down. u might have to tap the clip to get the bb's to feed sometimes because they might get stuck. but this rarely ever happens. pics below.....
high-cap on top, and standard mag on the bottom....
pic of the small tab....
tab pulled to the back, w/ the door open.....
the winding mechanism....
Hop-Up:
It is located on the underside of the gun, right under the magazine. You open it by sliding the small door, then u can sell the roll dial hop-up. Turn it left and it will increase the spin (make it go up!), and turn it to the right to reduce the spin (make it go down!). set it so that the bb's fly as straight as it can get, then stop moving the hop-up. and close the door by sliding it back to the other side. pics on where the hop up is (below).....
the underside of the P-90 w/ the door closed.....
the hop-up door open.....inside is the scrool hop-up.....(couldnt get a pic)
Power/Accuracy/Performance:
well the rate of fire is the same as any other TM AEG that has a EG1000 motor in it. and for the power, mines is shooting about 280.7 to 292.6 fps (thx to impact games). the accuracy is about on par with the G36c, since they have the same inner barrel length, the only thing that give the p-90 the advantage in stock peformance is that its light and the barrel is like 2-3 inches in front of the trigger,
Now here are the groupings...(tested with KSC HG .2g BB's)
P-90, on Semi-auto at 20m. (all in the black, beside's the test shot)
P-90, on Auto at 20m. (most in the black, exept one)
P-90, on Semi-auto at 35m. (all in black)
P-90, on Auto at 35m. (6 in the black, 4 outside the black)
well this was weirdly done on a winding hawaii day, at about 3pm in the afternoon....if u wanted to know.....
all in all the p-90 has some pretty good groupings, and i guarantee u can hit a man sized target on the field from pretty far away. and to add to the grouping all were being shot at by me while sitting on a cooler. and 35m was the farthest point that my yard could handle. and all shots were made by using the iron sights.
Upgrades:
well u can make this gun into anything u want it to be!. i have seen people do high power upgrades,and high speed upgrades. u can also make the p-90 into a sniper rifle. well in other words u can do whatever to the P-90, as long as u have your imagination to guide you.
the best upgrade to increase the magazine cap on the gun would be the box mag. pic below.....
the magazine cap will go from 300 rounds to 1500 rounds.....and also with the box mag, u can now use a large battery (custom wiring is required). the large battery will go where u used to put the standard p-90 mag.
Pro's:
+ Great range in a small package
+ lone barrel (G36c length)
+ compactness
+ 300 round hi-cap
+ comes with 3 rails already attached
+ comes with a silencer
+ rock solid build quality
+ version 6 gearbox (ehh i like it)
+ can handle a game in the rain (the march 30th game at PE)
Con's:
+ kind of expensive high-caps
+ small battery space (needs customization for bigger ones)
+ the grip might not appeal to some
+ high-cap may be a big hassel (the winding)
+ clips are kind of bulky
Conclusion:
The P-90 is a great gun, but might be a little to complicated to use for the beginer's, but can be the ultimate weapon for the expirienced veteran. In my eyes the P-90 is kool gun to have because not to many people have them. the mag's can be a money burner, since only Tokyo Marui make the p-90 magazines. If u want a rock solid, compact gun that wont break on u when u get it, doesnt creak in any places that i have heard, has a pretty reliable gearbox, and wont bus when u drop it, or ram into a wall at poweredge with it...lol me....this will be the perfect gun for you!
my new P-90 w/ the targets....and the last pic.....
