FN HERSTAL - SMALL ARMS AND WEAPON SYSTEMS

FN HERSTAL - SMALL ARMS AND WEAPON SYSTEMS

Under the brand names FN HERSTAL, Browning and Winchester, the Herstal Group equips virtually the entire world and owes its worldwide recognition to its capacity for invention, its continuing commitment to quality and its thorough understanding of the customers' needs.

FN HERSTAL designs, manufactures and distributes a full range of firearms and accessories for defense and law enforcement as well as sells a full range of airborne weapon systems for multi-role helicopters and subsonic aircraft. FN HERSTAL not only supplies the customer with machine gun specially adapted to airborne applications, it also integrates the weaponry into the carrier by providing and installing suspension masts, stores and management systems, electrical cabling and sighting devices

5.7 X 28mm WEAPON SYSTEM
The 5.7 x 28mm Weapon System is based around the SS190 round which can be fired by both the P90® submachine gun and the Five-seveN® pistol. Both weapons are ergonomically designed with no protruding parts and can be field stripped without tools in a very short amount of time.

P90® SUBMACHINE GUN
With a maximum effective range of 200m and a 900rpm firing rate, this 3kg weapon is highly versatile, having both single shot and fully automatic firing modes. The P90® is fitted with an integrated optical sight that allows the user to shoot with both eyes open; this can easily be replaced with other types of sights.

FIVE-SEVEN® TACTICAL PISTOL
The Five-seveN® tactical pistol is a single action pistol with hidden hammer characterised by a short, light trigger pull for fast accurate shooting.


As well as the standard model, FN HERSTAL also produces the P90® Tactical which features a Picatinny rail allowing different types of sights to be mounted.

The Five-seveN® Tactical pistol has extremely low recoil which results in virtually no muzzle jump.
