The following is a summary of the frequently asked questions from customers. Five-seveNQ: How much recoil does the pistol produces?
A: 1.7 kgm/s or 55% of a 9mm. The recoil of the FsN is slightly less than the P90 Q: What is the trigger pull in lbs?
A: The tactical is 4.85lbs - 5.5 lbs, the dao is 9 -12 Q: Are the sights adjustable?
A: Yes, in windage by moving the rear sight Q: Can we get night sights?

A: Yes, the gun was designed with the human factor taken in consideration Q: What is the noise level?
A: Less than 130dbA Q: What type of safeties are on the pistol and safety features?
A: The dao has a firing pin safety with the heavier trigger pull, the tactical has a positive safety as it blocks the trigger Q: What type of accuracy can be expected?
A: The guns are fired in the factory in Belgium and must meet a figure of merit, measurement of the vertical and horizontal spread, of a group of 6 rounds fired at a distance of 20 meters (21.84yd). The group can not exceed 200mm or (7.87in) Q: How durable is the gun?
A: 20000 rounds life for the main components: barrel, frame and slide Q: What process is used to produce the rifling?
A: Rotary forging also known as swaging or cold forming Q: Have any type of adverse condition testing been performed on the pistol?
A: Drop tests have been performed according to NATO STANAG standards and much more Q: Is the pistol easy to strip down and clean?
A: Yes, some little information and training are required due to its unique design Q: What is the muzzle jump like?
A: This of course will vary according to the wrist strength of the shooter, again the recoil is only 55% of a 9mm. Q: Is there any jamming or feeding problem with the pistol?
A: No, the cartridges are in line with the chamber, there is no feed ramp on the barrel only a main taper angle. The magazine has two rows of 10 ammunition like rifle magazine, this is more reliable than conventional 9mm pistol Q: If the pistol needs service, to whom do we send it?

A: 49,000 psi is the maximum working pressure, the pistol is tested at proof pressure of 63,000psi P90 SMGQ: How durable is the gun?
A: The gun is very durable we submitted it to the NATO type testing. Q: What type of accuracy can be expected from a P90?
A: The accuracy requirement for the P90 is 9 out of 10 rounds with a figure of merit not exceeding 7.87in at 50 meters Q: How strong is the action?
A: Very strong since it is a bull pup. Q: Is the P90 easy to strip down and clean?
A: Yes, it only has 5 major components and can disassembled in 5 seconds. The design is fool proof. Q: How weather/ corrosion resistant is the gun?
A: The frame is made of high impact polymer, the barrel support is quality aluminum with hard anodize, the barrel, breech block, flash hider are made of steel and are manganese phosphate, the barrel bore is hard chrome plated, the other components are polymer, stainless pins and springs Q: What type of safety's and safety features are on the gun?
A: The gun fires only from a closed breech, there is a selector that prevents the trigger from being manipulated while on safety there is a drop safety feature that blocks the secondary sear from being disengaged when dropped on the muzzle and there is an automatic sear that will prevent the hammer from falling since it will reengage when the weapon is dropped on the butt. The gun fires from a closed breech Q: What is the survivability of the P90?
A: It is very durable as we submitted it to the same tests required by NATO Q: Are there any jamming or feeding problems with the gun?
A: No, again due to the design the feeding is extremely reliable Q: What type of accessories are available?

The Triple Rail model has no sight so any day or night sights can be mounted, the interface is a Picatinny rail Q: What is the muzzle velocity?
A: 2345 f/sec 5.78x28mm ammunitionQ: Will the 5.7mm round penetrate the target?
A: Yes, it will penetrate 48 layers of Kevlar at 200 meters with the P90 and at 50 meters with the handgun Q: What type of bullets are offered and how are they constructed?
A: There are four types: the SS190 ball round or duty, the T194 hollow point, the tracer and the subsonic. We are developing a blank, a frangible, a monoblock and a sabot round. The construction of the SS190 is very unique as it has two cores, first a steel then an aluminum wrapped in a steel jacket. The hollow point round does not have the forward steel insert. The tracer has ignition material, tracer media and the steel penetrator. The Sb193 is a 55 grains FMJBT. Q: What is the effective range of the SS190 duty round?
A: 200 meters Q: Who makes the ammunition?
A: FN and Olin Winchester Q: What type of knock down power is the 5.7 round capable of?
A: The SS190 transfers nearly all its energy to the target on impact, even at close range. The bullet will tumble after approximately 2 inches of travel in soft body tissues causing large wound cavity and quick incapacitation. Q: What is the stopping power of the 5.7x28mm?
A: The SS190 has about the same muzzle energy as the 9mm Q: What are the energy/ number?
A: 320flbs at muzzle, 297flbs/ 50meters, 227flbs/ 100m, 126flbs/ 200m, 74flbs/ 300m, 58flbs/ 400m Q: What department are using the 5.7 system?
