FN PS90 Photo Review (Pic Heavy)

Here's some pics of my PS90 USG. It has about 1200 rounds through it so far. I bought it shortly after watching the 1st season back in early 2006, which is why it doesn't have the black stock (as those were not being produced/shipped at the time from FNH-USA).

This is as close as you can get to Henrietta's primary without spending quite a bit of money and time ($200 tax stamp for ATF Form 1 SBR, FBI background check, waiting on said background check to be completed, parts (10" barrel, nut, flash hider, tools), finding a shop to replace the barrel with a 10" one, engraving the lower, legal fees, LEO sign-off, ect...).

Oh man, that's tasty. Would you recommend it for a first gun, though?

Yes, costs & ammunition availability aside.

It's compact, lightweight (even with a fully loaded 50-rd mag), has ambidextrious controls, soft percieved recoil, and is easily dissassembled & cleaned.

My only gripe is the trigger is horrible, but that is a very common issue with most bullpup rifles.

I've been toying with the idea of getting a Five-seveN, a PS90 and an FS2000, however I have not shot the weapons I do own (HK93, HK VP70Z, Benelli M4, Beretta Cheetah) in forever (I take them out only to clean), so dropping a few grand to own one of my OC's arsenals just to keep in a gun safe seems kinda silly.

But it looks very nice, I must say.

Nice man... being from gun-shy Australia, getting to see the inner workings of stuff like this is a bit of a treat.

The urge to buy some of the stuff your own OCs use is a feeling I'm familiar with... but yeah, at the end of the day it'd just sit there and never get used.

Would love to own one but live in the US And Full Automatics are a No-No. You can legally own most Hand-Guns, Rifles, and Shot-guns. But the really looks down on Semi- and Full automatic armaments at least for civilians.

no you U.S. based people have it easy with Automatics.
look over to the uk,basicy just shotguns and rifles, hell even are Olympic team must go to Switzerland to train because their events are considered illegal in the UK

With Semi-autos, it depends on the state. Public opinion of the so-called semi-auto 'assault' rifle is changing slowly. The idea is a misnomer anyway: a semi-auto rifle is by definition not an assault rifle. Once that is accepted as the reality it is, you see that an AR-15 or semi-auto AK is no different than a Marlin Model 60 plinker. Maybe it looks scary, but it's not an instrument of DOOOOOOM!!!

The largest problem with the full-auto stuff in the US is the closed registry. You can't buy a full-auto and put it onto the registry, so the supply is essentially limited to what is out there now, which keeps the price high. The people who dropped the dime on such toys don't want to see the registry opened, as their investment will fall out the bottom.

Where the closed registry really sucks ass is with the war bring-backs that the passing veterans are leaving behind for their kids to find in the attic. Read a posting once from someone who found an STG-44 in grandpa's attic after he died. He traipsed through hell to win and brought back a trophy, but because it had no papers, it had to be destroyed or given to a museum (in demilitarized state), as being in possession of a class 3 weapon is a serious felony (getting you more time than murder), and there is no way a commoner can put such an item on the registry. It's a stupid rule and results in the destruction of history and family heirlooms.

Personally, I feel there isn't much you can't do with a semi-auto that can be done with a full. You just don't waste ammo as fast, and are more likely to hit your target.

thats so cool

That is indeed awesome, I kinda dig the OD stock more than black, cool contrast with the receiver.

You still around Darkstar? *pokes with stick* Nice pics.

In the US the price of the PS90 has come back down a little, I've seen them for ~ $1300 on store shelves. The 5.7 round may not be super cheap but it's fairly easy to find. Black PS90s are easy to find these days.

What I'm tryin to say is ... Go buy one! I hope for the success of the PS90 line here in the states, now and many years to come.

Go buy one before they stick the 10round magazine ban back in place. A P90 with a 10 round mag would look really dumb

Or just buy the mags now.

I've played with the idea of getting a P90 and F2000, but I really don't need any more guns since the ones I have are never fired.

I will be sending you "friendly persuasion" vibes. ~~
