FN P90 Configuration for a Pistol?

Post by Beiruty »

Anyone thought of doing a FN P90 configuration for a pistol that can be holstered? Maybe with regular 9mm Ammo?

Here is the P90:

I was hoping for a small single stack Fn 5.7 pistol that you could conceal carry.

That appears to just be a short barrel rifle. It has a stock due to the bullpup design with the trigger group in the stock. I don't think you could make it a pistol...

Uh... why not just carry a 9mm pistol?

A PS90 pistol would have to be designed and built from the ground up to be a handgun, and the entire action would have to be built for 9mm, the magazine would have to be redesigned, etc.

If you want an SMG-style pistol, there's always the Uzi, Uzi Pro, MP5K, MAC, etc...

I like the idea to have the magazine on top, with more rounds and fixed longer barrel and separate bolt action. Also, a grip at mid length of the firearm may be good for more balance. Just make the length of the whole firearm no more than the length of a 5" 1911.

Yeah, that is an excellent example. Only thing it is not a Bullpup design.
