NOTES
With flechette loads the principle is "more wound for the shot", the flechette is used in lieu of conventional ball loads to attempt to wound the target. However flechettes are not known for long range accuracy, they can inherently affected by high winds and vegetation to reduce their velocity and ultimately affect their range. Once beyond the 45 range of the weapon one can roll a d6 (50) or d8 (60), on a roll of 1 the flechette has struck the target-this is to simulate the problems with the flechette and longer ranges.

FN Five-seveN (Game Stats) (Cool Pics too)
Fabrique Nationale Model Five seveN
Introduced in 1996 the Five-seveN is a curious pistol, designed to fire the same round used in the P-90 PDW it makes extensive user of polymer construction to reduce weight. Intended for use as a service issue pistol the weapon is design with rail mountings under the barrel to allow for the use of flashlight or laser sight attachments. Currently the weapon has not been adopted by any country though it is understood that British Police Authorities are testing the weapon for possible adoption, the Dallas/Fort Worth SWAT are also believed to be testing the Five seveN and P90 as well.
R Evaluation: FN's Model Five seveN has quite a row in the staff here, we have obtained quantities of it for testing to determine it's suitability for our agents. The ballistics of the handgun is the same as the P90 submachine gun. This does make for some commonality of ammunition between a sidearm and primary weapon but some of the armorers here feel the weapon is ill suited for a handgun and will cause over penetration. As such we have only obtained a small quantities of these handguns for testing. 004 has agreed to carry one in the field to determine the effectiveness of the design for us.

FN P90 (Game Stats)
FN P90 History:The FN P90 submachine gun (SMG) was developed in the late 1980s as a defensive weapon for the troops whose primary activities does not include small arms, like vehicle and tank crew members, etc. Standard pistols and other SMGs chambered for pistol rounds were proved ineffective against enemy soldiers, wearing armour vests, so FN developed a new round with enhanced penetration - the SS190. The P90 can be seen as a forerunner of the PDW (Personal Defence Weapon) concept. Facts & Specs:
Caliber: 5.7x28mm SS190
Function: blowback operated, selective fire submachine gun (semiautomatic and full-auto fire)
Weight: 2.54 kg empty; 3.0 kg loaded with magazine with 50 rounds
Length: 500 mm
Barrel: 263 mm
Magazine capacity: 50 rounds
Muzzle velocity: 715 m/s
Maximum effective range: 150 meters
Sights: optical reflex sight with no magnification
Cyclic: 900 (rpm) rounds per minute
Manufacturer: Fabrique Nationale; Belgium
Accuracy: The P90 provides rapid target acquisition and outstanding hit probability out to 150 meters. A day reticle, which is projected into the sight from the front, features a circular reticle which provides very rapid target acquisition throughout the effective range of the weapon. The reticle has several markings which complement each other. A very large circular reticle provides fast target acquisition at panic-close range, while a much smaller circle is optimized for target acquisition at 100 meters.
Reliability: Cycling is reliable. The design and materials of the P90 also make the weapon very easy to clean, a process that only takes about four minutes. This appeals to military SpecOps personnel, who have a special affection for weapons that require a minimum of maintenance.
Weight: The P90 weighs 2.5 kg with an empty magazine and 3.0 kg with a fully loaded 50-round magazine, which is similar to the weight of an MP5 with a 30-round magazine. Size: With an overall length of just 50.0 cm, the P90 is considerably shorter than the 9x19mm H&K MP5 submachine gun or the 5.56x45mm Colt M4 carbine. The P90 is just 21.0 cm high with a magazine fitted to the weapon.
Recoil: Recoil is brisk but very smooth. Shot dispersion remains remarkably tight, thanks in part to the fact that the 5.7x28mm cartridge has about one-third of the recoil impulse produced by the 5.56x45mm round used in the M16 family of weapons.
Stopping Power: The P90 is capable to penetrate standard PASGT vests (kevlar) at 200 meters and standard CRISAT vests (titanium + kevlar) at 100 meters.
Additional notes: P90 can be equipped with a special silencer, that should then be used with a special, sub-sonic variant of the 5.7x28mm cartridge. The P90 can be supplied with an integrated laser. This laser is fully integrated into the receiver without modifying the weapon's outer shape, balance and ergonomics. Either a visible "red dot" laser or an infra-red laser for use in conjunction with night vision equipment can be chosen.

Fabrique Nationale (FN) Five-seveN (Game Stats)
Fabrique Nationale (FN) Five-seveN
History:The Five-seveN pistol was designed as a complimentary sidearm for the P90 submachine-gun. The P90 and Five-seveN share the same ammunition, the 5.7x28mm SS190 cartridge. The key idea behind that ammunition and weapons is to provide good penetration against personnel, protected by modern body armour, while keeping weapons' weight, dimensions and recoil at reasonable levels.
Facts & Specs:
Caliber: 5.7x28mm SS190
Function: Semi-automatic, Double Action Only or Single Action (in Tactical model) pistol
Weight: 620 g with empty magazine; ca. 760 g loaded
Length: 208 mm
Barrel: 122,5 mm long
Magazine capacity: 20 rounds
Muzzle velocity: 650 m/s
Sights: Standard combat; optional night sight with luminous dot
Maximum effective range: 50 m
Manufacturer: Fabrique Nationale, Belgium
Accuracy: The Five-seveN is easily controllable as it remains aligned on the target, thereby facilitating fast and controllable follow-up shots.
Reliability: High
Weight: Weighing 30% less than most 9mm pistols, the Five-seveN is comfortable to carry and quick to deploy.
Size: Medium. Well balanced, with smooth contours and no protruding parts, the pistol will instinctively be handled correctly.
Muzzle Flash: Recoil impulse results in virtually no muzzle climb.
Stopping Power: The Five-seveN is capable to penetrate standard PASGT vests (kevlar) at 300 meters and standard CRISAT vests (titanium + kevlar) at 100 meters.

More P90 Pics (gaming stuff)
FN P90: Here Come the Belgians
The P90 TR (left) and the standard P90
Again developed for tank, artillery and air crew, FN Herstal trialled many types of pistol ammunition before developing the 5.7x28mm cartridge. Much like a scaled down 5.56mm rifle cartridge, the 5.7 round has similar ballistic and penetration characteristics as H&K's 4.6mm round, leaving the muzzle of the 'ninety at around 6-700 metres per second.
The P90 is a blowback operated, selective fire weapon. It is fed from 50-rounds box magazines, made from transluscent polymer. The magazine is being located above the barrel, with the cartridges being aligned at 90 degrees to the barrel axis. Each magazine has built-in ramp that rotates cartridge to align it with the barrel prior to chambering it.
As with most PDW class weapons, the P90 controls are completely ambidextrous, with charging handles located at the both sides of the weapon, and the safety/fire mode selector is located below the trigger. The P90 also features downward ejection of the spent cases. Built in a bullpup configuration, and constructed largely of polymer components, the standard P90 features a built-in reflex collimator sight with 1X magnification and light sensitive reticule as well as a set conventional iron sights situated above the optic array. The variant P90 TR (tactical rail) features a rail integration system (RIS) for further tactical optimisation. Both can be used with the optional silencer/suppressor unit in conjunction with 5.7mm subsonic round.

Caliber: 5.7x28mm
Weight: 2.54 kg empty; 3 kg loaded with 50 round magazine
Length: 500 mm
Barrel length: 263 mm

Magazine capacity: 50 rounds
Effective range: 200 meters
