FN P90

I was reading the latest Shotun News and the had an article about FN and their new weaps, the Five Seven and the P90.
At the end of the article they mentioned there might be some plans to make a semi-auto P90.

My question, admitting my embarrasing lack of sofidtication regarding the Import ban and such, is could this ever find its way in to the US?

Does FN have any lants here in the states?

Could they manufacture enough US parts to get over the parts limit?

It would have to have a 16 barrel, and meet some minimum overall length, right (as its a bullpup design).

BTW, I saw an airsoft P90 and bought it for shits and grins, the ergonomics are nowhere as near as strange as I thought they might be, It fits very compactly to the body, and seems that it would be very positively controlled and quick in CQB.

Cool looking black toy. Wish we could get the full thing...
