The P90 Submachine Gun

The P90 Submachine Gun


The P90 Submachine Gun
5.7 x 28 mm
with integrated laser target designator

The laser target designator is fully integrated into the receiver, the outer shape, balance and ergonomic of the weapon are not modified.
The customer can choose either a visible red dot laser or an infra-red laser requiring night vision equipment.


P90 LV (with visible laser)
In low light conditions and indoors the laser designator, when activated by a pressure switch, projects a highly visible red dot onto the target. The laser designator can be zeroed so that the shots hit exactly at the point indicated by the laser.
The user can aim accurately without shouldering the weapon, he can fire from the waist, chest, even with the weapon held away from the body.
The laser designator allows very rapid target acquisition, especially at close range, and in low light.
The laser dot also has a considerable dissuasive effect on the enemy who can see that a weapon is precisely aimed at them.
The laser system has an adjustment switch allowing the user to set the laser 
  • to off to avoid accidental activation, 
  • to low power for training to extend battery life and increase eye safety, 
  • to high power for maximum visibility for combat. 
The laser designator allows the user to practice rapid target acquisition and instinctive shooting without firing, as the dot will indicate the point of impact.
P90 LIR (with infra red laser)
The infra red wavelength laser designator projects a dot onto the target that is not visible to the naked eye. The user must have night vision equipment to see the dot.
This type of designator is designed for night use and operations where maximum discretion is required (anti-terrorist, hostage rescue, covert operations)
