(Rumors) Civilian P90 (1Q 2005?)

”There's still no way to legally hang a FN P90TR over your fireplace mantle, correct?”

Possibly soon. FN/Herstal is making a semi-auto version that will mainly be marketed to Law Enforcement in states where machineguns are not allowed, (again DE, HI, IA, IL, KS, NY, RI and WA). Odds are it will also show up in the civilian market - they said they would never sell the FN FiveSeven to civilians, uses the same round as the P90, but I now own one. Look for a civilian P90 next year after February’s SHOT show in Vegas.

Of course if you’re just looking for a mantle piece there’s always airsoft

"I had heard that the BATF has a huge bug up their collective ass regarding 5.7x28mm ammo in general."

The ammo was never illegal. It just wasn’t sold to anyone but Military/Law Enforcement. They are now selling the jacketed hollow point ammo to the civilian market for use in the FiveSeven pistol. Now if they started selling the full metal jacket ammo to the general public the BATF might step in.
