#akgnotificationsquad
Luv what ur doing bud keep it up
God you're a stud. Definitely an underrated giga chad.
Edit: mp7 because it's mo betta
Lets see paul allen's p90
Laughed hard at this one bro. Nice
Damn im late
@@sweetshot_177 hi
HahahaHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂😂
Oh, look at the tasteful thickness of it, it even has a watermark
This gun is over 30 years old and still looks futuristic.
Fr always thought these guns looked sick
I honestly also think that it has some clever thoughts into it, like the long magazine. I really love this gun.
The FN 2000 is more iconic to me. It's replicating an M4 inside a futuristic shell, whilst being a bull-pup with a unique spent-case travel to the front. Beautiful.
I agree. You could probably take it a couple of decades in the future and it'd still look like it was designed there and then.
@@georgezachos7322 That's because we grew accustomed to the looks of an M4/AR15 as a "de facto" standard assault rifle. Movies and TV series have popularised that appearance, imprinting it upon our common perception of how a typical assault rifle ought to look. The P90 stands out with its deviating design.
We could say the same about the Steyr AUG. It's from the 1970's and still looks almost futuristic, albeit not in the same way as the P90.
AFAIK Stargate switched from the MP5 to the P90 since the P90 ejects downwards which makes filming shots way easier. The fact that it looked futuristic probably helped too.
What's really crazy is that they adopted it in season 4 of the series. That's 24 years after the P90's initial inception and 10 years after its introduction. And it still looks futuristic!
@@RhinoBarbarian like the H&K G11! (Though that one also functions futuristic)
There is an interview on TH-cam with the props guy for Stargate.
He was trying to get them the P90 earlier. But was told no. As they used the MP5 to continue the link to the movie.
When he got FN to finally let them use it. The production crew didn't think it was a real gun.
that thing is a swiss clockwork madmen magic engineering@@erwin101
@@erwin101the interview Paul mentioned is at the GateWorld TH-cam channel, and the guy was the SG-1 armorer.
Re-watching this, and the “What do we do with big buttons? We press them” followed by the mushroom cloud……Never. Gets. Old.
I was expecting the Zorg smoking with explosion behind him clip, but then again it wasn't a little red button on the bottom of the gun.
"Can I have some fucking money now?"
Brandon never fails to get me chuckling
I can't wait to see the meme about this. 😂
Someone should clip it lol.
What is the shockwave radius of every WW2 German mortar blasts. Do not put shrapnel in the scenario. Leave out shrapnel. Also leave out shrapnel radius. Just talking about the shockwave radius of every mortar blast that the Germans used during WW2?
YT: Oop, you said a bad word, no money for you.
“This is a weapon of terror. It is made to intimidate the enemy. This is a weapon of war. It is made to kill your enemy.” - Jack O’Neill
Thanks God im not the only one who thought of that line 😂
How does it work?
I'm thinking....magnets?
KICK ASS REPLICATORS AND WRAITH
...WHO'S... YOUR... DADDY??
And right after he says that, he flags Carter with his weapon, lol
I always wondered in that "Weapon of war" episode of SG1 why when Sam went full auto on the log she fired one bullet first. Now I know.
Did they gave a real weapon to an actor?
@@larnregis Yes, they used real P90's (and other weapons) a lot of the time, firing blanks. The main cast received weapons and military training.
Was reading the P90 got a lot of usage in law enforcement and special forces. With one operation by Peruvians which was a Japanese Hostage crisis and it killed all the terrorists who had body armour. For me the first time I saw it’s aesthetics echoed was in Ghost in The Shell and then SG1.
The P90 is used by a lot of soldiers in the P90 home country, Belgium, too. The special forces use it as their standard weapon (along with the army standard issue pistol, the Five-SeveN) in their "DAS" operations (think like bodyguards for the government people and stuff like that. DAS is the French acronym for Security Agents Detachment). Medics also use it as their standard issue firearm, along the Five-SeveN
It was designed to beat armor, 1 intermediate round won't penetrate armor, but 50 in the same area will
The final enemy sentries in Metal Gear Solid 2 rock them and will rock your world even on Normal difficulty
Gunslinger girl, Stargate, love this gun.
@@clintelkins9630 Which is one of the big selling points for it. For a SMG it's particularly accurate on full auto. Not something you usually see for a category of gun meant for suppression fire.
For those wondering, the FN P90 and Five seveN did actually win the contract but Germany vetoed its adoption because they wanted the MP7 to win. So neither were officially adopted but both saw pretty heavy use.
I like the mp7 but why?
@@mattd5240 it probably had something to do with Germany wanting a domestically made gun for their military
HK salty
@@haydenp3936 Also big money went into development and Germany didn’t want to waste that AND technically the 4.6 round is inferior in all aspects to the 5.7
@@mattd5240 Protectionism and money.
I swear. FN makes probably some of, if not, the most iconic guns seen in videogames
Yeah like damn every game ever has a p90 a scar probably an hk416.
@planenoises5236 I know right. Even the 5.7 is one of the more iconic pistols in some games like CoD: BO2
Scar, fn2000, fn57, and p90 make this a solid argument
@@69JuggaloMan69 The F2000 is a goofy gun, alright. I could never forget it if I wanted to.
Fuk the games they make them irl. Fn is iconic 💯
I had no idea the P90 was real. I saw it in Stargate and assumed that it had been created specifically for the show and wasn't able to fire real ammo. What an eye opener.
In Belgium, our SIE (Special Intervention Squadron)) uses the P90. In the US, the Secret Service to the President has the P90. You don't want to mess with them.
I definetely know the feeling 🙂
However, check your expectations. Its a show made in USA. Not only is there a real version of the gun, they are most likely actually using real guns on set. The level of trust toward the person who is responsible for loading them with blanks is beyond me.
Google Alec Baldwin or The Crow.
@@1959Berre we dont want to mess with them even if they have only a knife. 😀
Youre telling you never saw the p90 in movies or video games?
I first saw it in Warrock. That was an arena shooter. It was my favorite gun to use on the medic. That and dual UZIs.
First saw this gun in Goldeneye for N64, absolute shredder.
This is where I seen it as the RCP90, again like others, i thought it was a fantasy, but this unicorn is real if you have the cash and a tax stamp. The supreme court is about to have a vote to allow all non felons to buy machine guns soon. If it passes, stuff like this will be easier and cheaper to get. :D
@BPatches701 thatd be sweet but I'm sure commiefornia will find a way to deny that shit.
I loved the P90 in Stargate. It was so cool and futuristic. Imagine my disappointment when I joined the military and found out we don't actually use it.
Cool as it is, an M4 is better in a firefight. A P90 isn't going to be better at penetrating, if both are using green tips.
And the ammo is stupid expensive, so no military is going to make it standard issue, it just doesn't make sense from a logistical standpoint. It's a weapon for rich people to kit out their private security forces with, pretty much.
Not to mention, in a combat situation, you run out of ammo, then what? The enemy isn't carrying 5.7x28 rounds; they're carrying 5.56, or more likely; 7.62.
Fact is, if you had one of those in Afghanistan; and actually needed it, you probably weren't walking out of that situation. You're going to get much more accuracy out of an M4 because of the overall length; and heftier projectile.
As I say to anyone who has mixed reviews about the P90; Remember it was the gun that help defeat the Goa'uld... and the SPAS-12 was good at exploding Replicators for crying out loud.
Now, if someone wanted to make an undermount, pump action shotgun attachment for the M16 platform, I'd be all behind that. Few things make a warrior want to piss themselves quite like the prospect of meeting the business end of a shotgun at close range.
If you take a point blank shotgun blast to the face, you're gonna have a bad time. For a second at least.
i would be disappointed too, no P90s and neither Stargates. 🤣
@@ologhai8559 Stargate Command IS in Cheyenne Mountain... It consists of a door that leads to a broom closet :)
I'm not a large gun enthusiast. I'm a Stargate Atlantis nerd. There are no words that can express the JOY I felt as you eliminated the white claw cans. ESPECIALLY THE EXTRA SHOT AT THE END. ULTIMATE BLISS!!!
And now it could be protecting him
I remember it first as the RC-P90 from N64 Goldeneye. Gun was WAY overpowered in that game, punching through walls, foot thick steel doors, etc.
Based, I'll never forget the sound that it made
Ha! The gun was great in that game.
for me rcp-45 from pd
For whatever reason I called it the staple gun in Goldeneye
Yeah, finally someone from my generation!!
I’m impressed Brandon was able to save up six months of revenue for that full mag.
Dude, you are an incredibly un-based poor.
A box of 5.7 where i live is 40-45$ 😢
Lmao my first thought was fk there goes 2 days pay in one mag
@@ThirtytwoJ Helps when you're a manufacturer and can likely get better deals on ammo through your contacts than us average schlubs
@@thisdude9363 yea id be buyin reloading die to go with.
From what I understand, the downward ejection was a big selling point for the adoption of the P90 on Stargate. It became much easier to frame actors in the same shot once you didn't have to worry about spraying brass in anyone's face. That was much more of a concern with the MP5s.
LMFAO thought this was attached to the comment above i read it in Pattrick Batmanes voice
I believe it also had something to do with they wanted a compact “armor piercing gun” to defeat alien armor 🤷 instead of the 9mm MP5
Does this downwards firing hot brass shoot also prevent the use of shorts while firing?
@@akula323 🤣

Brandon's concern over the dwarven operators community's wellbeing while the P90 is in use speaks greatly of his character, thank you.
The mental image of a Dwarven Operator makes me lol

I've loved the P90 since playing Golden Eye on the 64 as a kid, such a wildly unique design. Cool to see it's still beloved by all
good ol' RCP90, damn I'm old
Dual wielding obviously 👌🏻
Wow forgot it was in goldeneye
That dual wielding goodness!
Same
That's where I gained my love of it as well
“Or you’re just a STARGÅTE nerd…” Way to call me out! 🤣
I did learn that it has a progressive trigger in full auto...That explains that Stargate SG-1 scene where Carter demonstrates the P90, shows how much thought and attention they gave it.
This is explained in the video.
I fired the P90 some 5 years ago. I'm not a medic, so it's not my standard firearm. The aidmen had a good laugh at me not immediately finding full auto.
Good times
It doesn't do full auto, as Brandon explained. It does do advanced semiautomatic though if you select A!😅
@@capriceranana5733 I think CNN explained it even better. It's full semi-automatic. So totally civilian safe.
The p90 was the first gun I bought when I was old enough because of Stargate. It's still one of my favorite guns that is only beat out by a 22 that I inherited from my grandfather and the FS2000
What an odd fellow
I love it
I think you spelled PS90 wrong .. 😂
Holy mother of based, P90 and F(S?)2000 enjoyer.
BroughtToYouByDDean does that make you feel intelligent for comment something as stupid as that? The whole Internet thinks you’re either eight or you have an IQ of 60, possibly an extra 21st Chromosome.
@@whiny_rascal6898 FS2000 is the semi auto version if the F2000, just like how the PS90 is the semi auto version of the P90
I saw it the first time on Stargate. Looked, and still looks, absolutely awesome. Another interesting gun in Stargate is the USAS-12 automatic shotgun. Would be cool if you could do a video about that.
USAS-12 is the OG crazy mag fed automatic shotgun to me. SoF2 dismemberment memories.
@@FokkerBoombass you're gonna make me go find my SoF2 CD.
Stargate....the show where P90s were always used with the occasional cameo of G36s, M240/M290s and strikers for dealing with the pesky replicators.
@@FokkerBoombass bf4 was where i saw it first, frag rounds are a bitch
They even pumped it up in the show when they demonstrated them for the rebel gould. Shooting a log hanging from a chain. XD
I think this is one of the earliest "modern" firearms that is truly ambidextrous out of the box. Some guns require you to do so conversions for right or leftie shooting.
P90 had everything considered on the get go, the sights, the charging handle and even the brass ejection.
A very convenient weapon!
When I was a teenager in the '90s, Popular Mechanics (I think) had an article on a full auto .410 that was ball mounted to a chest rig and had a 300 round belt. It was apparently trialed by L.A. SWAT. If this thing actually exists, I want to see a video of it.
You make it sound like the LMGs from Aliens.
@@tylerwilliams6022 well .410 isn't a rifle round
@@tylerwilliams6022 @booliganshootingsports has a great version of this
@@LilTachanka Give it a rifled barrel and load it with slugs, and the difference is somewhat academic.
@@jic1 bruh the point of .410 is not for slugs,
FN P90 was the main fire arm of the main character (Henrietta) in the Anime classic "Gunslinger Girls". I recommend watching that show if your heart can handle a tragic story line.
As a Kel-Tec P50 owner, nice to see a breakdown of the gun these magazines were actually designed for.
Did they make the P50 full auto yet?
How do you like the p50?😊
@@thecoolnerdplaysvr5674 It is one of the dumbest guns I own. The lack of brace options now hurt it. It's completely impractical, and like all keltec's made mainly of plastic, with more screws that your average ikea furniture piece.
I love it.
@@thecoolnerdplaysvr5674 Echoing what @jprepo1 said; it's the silliest, most impractical firearm I own, but it's a blast to shoot. Real fun in hand and there's barely any recoil. You absolutely need an optic on it though, the built in irons are pretty bad. All in all a worthwhile purchase.
StarGate Nerd here! 👋
Definitely heard about the P90 first through Stargate SG-1. Such an icon
Modern Warfare II here.
They were really the only production that made significant use of them I only saw a P90 in 1 episode of Battlestar Galactica I can't recall any other shows or movies that even came close to featuring the P90 as much as SG1 did
SG1 gang 4 ever.
Got to know it as the RCP90 in Goldeneye for the N64, instantly charmed and mesmerized
@@Offbeaten This is a man of culture. 😂
Ive watched a lot of videos on the P90, but yours stands out. Patient and detailed. Keep it up.
Loving your weapons history and functionality episodes. Being a prior active duty US Marine with combat tours, and frankly a gun nut since childhood , they are always spot on. Would like to see you do an episode on the Israeli UZI, and the ma duece. Thank you for providing quality information to hopefully influence the current and future generations on weapon safety and proper etiquette. Semper Fidelis Brandon
Most of what you want to know about the UZI is on Wikipedia , also for other guns or what not.
My cousin was an armourer in the Navy. He taught guys how to shoot and maintained firearms on ship. He's shot dozens of firearms and he always said his favorite was the P90. Shoots a spicy .22 with minimal recoil and high fire rate. It's small enough to fit anywhere and carries a 50 round magazine.
and ease of cleaning. The manual literally says, use as little lube as possible and you don't even have to lube up the firegroup, you can use water on it lol. It will never see powder dust by the design or very little dust. I put over 2k rounds through mine and never touched the fire group in cleaning.
@@elitewolverine 5.7 burns very clean. Its hard to tell when I've put +100rds in a range session through my PSA Rock.
@@InexorWoW i'm not gonna lie, I wouldn't mind owning one of these P90 SMG's as a non-firing collector's item, as I used to shoot these in some of my SWAT runs in the "Killing Floor 2" video game

I think this is the first video I've seen which did a close up of the magazine while firing. The design of that magazine is really fascinating and, from an engineering perspective, quite beautiful.
That's why I love this weapon. It is arguably one of the most interesting developments in many years. It developed an entirely new system and did it brilliantly.
counterstrike and Stargate got me always wanting one.
The fact that your Impression of Ian at the end of the video autoplay transitioned into an ACTUAL forgotten weapons video made it 100x Better
I was reading the comments and for just a second I had thought I had accidentally enabled autoplay...
15:30
Lmao mine went into Ian's Biofire Smart Gun video 😂
As a huge Stargate fan I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It was really cool to learn about it and see you shoot it. I still think its a cool looking gun
“Small fast penetrating round.” It’s like he’s talking straight to me!
Tore up jaffa
Best gun ever created.
Looking at the comments more Stargate nerds like me than I thought lol
They must have been using blue tips in the show. Every jaffa died in a shower of sparks
In Goldeneye, we called it the Ricka-Picka, which evolved into Recka-Pecka and then finally Wreck-a-Pecker. It was branded the RCP-90 in that game; same gun, different name, different paint scheme. It was the most sought-after power weapon there was. Once you got it, you were essentially unstoppable. You could just weave and fire, and absolutely own your friends, knowing they'd be unable to match you in damage, let alone ammo capacity. And you could *dual wield* them. It was the great equalizer.
I find it impressive how these strange magazines work so well. The PP-19's is also great.
Being able to just look down and see how much ammo you have left in your mag... is an awesome feature. I don't care what anyone says about it, that is one awesome feature.
The problem is loading the dang things, they are the most pain-in-the-ass magazines to load that I have ever had the misfortune to come across in real life. Nice gun, though.
As a guy that plays airsoft with a p90, this indeed “tickled the pickle” thank you Brandon
Well yes, in Airsoft it handles very well...but in real Steal it´s a little Hornet´s Nest!
Hey. You have to pay extra for pickle tickling here.....
@@Wuestenkarsten ;-; kinda knew that bud

Krytac P90 let's gooo
The stargate P90s sound is by far the best sound ever.
I worked as an Armorer on SG1. If you've ever had to reload a magazine. You'll hate it.
Fun fact: the FN 5.7x28mm round is very, very close to being a perfectly 3/4-scale of the 7.62x39mm round; the different dimensions range from 69% to 79%, so if you ever wanted to build a 3/4-scale AK-47 or AKM, the 5.7 round would be pretty much a perfect drop-in.
interesting
nice
Quite a bit less taper to the sides, isn't there? -Of course that could be engineered around. Would be a dandy project! :)
What kind of magazine would u use?
@@chrislopez8479 a new proprietary ak style mag
The P90 never ceases to amaze me in terms of design and product quality. So small, yet offers so much punch... and to a goodly range, no less.
One of these days, I'll have enough disposable cash to snag one of these little beauties.

A stargate reference and an explanation of full semi automatic in one video. How have I not seen this earlier?
I’m so glad you showed some representation for us wrong handers out there. I’ve never felt more included in my life.
It sounds like you also experienced the lack of left handed scissors at school. It is lucky us left handed people are more evolved and end up being ambi.
What I particularly enjoyed about it was that he said it in such a... clever way. Instead of left-handed versus right-handed, it's WRONG-handed versus RIGHT-handed, which ENTIRELY changes the meaning of 'right.' I thought it was very clever and witty. Though that said, even though I do tend to view left-handedness as a drawback and an unfortunate thing regardless of US presidents, I really have nothing against left-handers like Ned Flanders. I just find this banter to be funny, perhaps much like racial banter. I have a friend, haven't seen him in many years. Still regard him as the closest I have to a brother, and if he contacted me to hide a body I seriously would have to think about it as to whether I'd do it or not. Either I would and wouldn't say anything, or I wouldn't and would also not say anything, but in all likelihood... yeah, I'd go. Maybe if the body was partially-rotten I'd actually be skeptical out of fear I may vomit.
And he's a Native mother fucker who used to kick my ass at first-person shooters which I'm actually pretty darn good at. Which honestly wasn't annoying, at least only mildly at most, and resulted in LOTS of jokes and funny instances. Seriously. Even now over 15 years later, when we meet again, I'm certain I'll bring up the same old gaming memories and we'll both still laugh and it will be genuine even after it's happened 4 times or so.
And yeah he'd laugh his ass off when I, a SEVERELY White man, calls him a 'Native mother fucker,' which is really not different from me calling a Black dude a 'Black mother fucker' or a Black dude calling a White guy 'White Mother fucker.' Because it's not from a place of hate. It's from a place of banter and love and being over-the-top and enjoyably politically incorrect and just HAVING FUN! We're even so close that there's been jokes about Stephen Lynch's song 'If I Were Gay,' which implies that if we were gay we'd be screwing, but we're not gay so we don't do sexual stuff but if we were we might. It's all quite comical and jokey, not serious. I am actually bisexual but I'm big and masculine and dominant and am only interested in smaller/submissive/effeminate males. My Native friend is VERY masculine and is a father, possibly twice-over or even more. Looking forward to meeting the whole family for the first time someday though I don't know when it will be.
And in the many years we were close friends and shared very personal and sometimes tearful experiences, even if a year or two went by without seeing each other... when we met up again after so long, it's like it's only been days or weeks. I'm still me, he's still him, his partner is still herself, and we just slip into conversation like no time had passed. It's more extreme now, they're parents and their oldest can probably talk by now. LOTS has changed... but I still am faithful like in years past when we meet again, we'll meet, we'll hug, we'll drink, have a riot, I MIGHT get emotional at how long it has been and at how much I missed him and his longtime gf who I hope becomes his wife and now he's a father with a child or children and hearing updates of everyone... ugh, I should stop, could get emotional while writing this message. I'm not usually emotional but this has been a REALLY damn difficult day and I'm drinking and actually became kind of a serious alcoholic and blah blah blah, life happens and it's not all roses and sunshine.
Take care of yourself, drink responsibly, and be open to feelings of sympathy and/or empathy. God bless.
@@normanmccollum6082 I am genuinly sorry to hear you had a cunt of a day mate. In my experience it is about the quality of a person that matters, not colour and blah blah. Much peace to you from the upside down and apparently non existent land of Oz. The ambidextrous people of the world may still be judging you. But I am sure they still have the ability to move on. Stay free.
The 5.7 round is wildly fascinating to me. In the ability to mangle the insides of a target, the ability to not over pen so it really only hits what your aiming at, it’s a bottle necked straight wall cartridge( need the polymer coating to help with cycling the rounds during ejection), and how fast these rounds move.
There's no advantage to speed alone. Either it does ap well or it does sounding well. Velocity helps with that but in the end velocity as measurement by itself has no purpose at all

There’s a special place in my heart for the p90, I love it in every game I use it in. From way back in MW2 to Insurgency:Sandstorm. I’m so glad you finally did a video on it Brandon
Hey! A fellow Insurgency fan! Nice to see you in the wild!
Man I’ve been using that in every game sense golden eye on the n64 😂😂
@@jacklucas5908 Long live Insurgency!
P90 is good but tbh, I actually enjoy the sterling more. I use one with a suppressor, PKA, and extended mags without any carrier and wearing light armor.
150 rounds of sneaky dakka
And I rock a welrod as well with that class, you’d be surprised how many people you can sneak up on and take out with that thing xD
Man... I like Insurgency, but I am NOT good at that game. I've played a lot of shooters, and for me, that one is mostly just a dying simulator.
I think SG-1 was the thing that brought that weapon to everyone's attention, I still remember when they first introduced it in the series, stupid cool weapon. Humping a Pig (M-60) and then my M-24 were the "coolest" weapons I got to carry in the Army, lol. Awesome video, Brandon!
I literally just shot the M60 yesterday at my range in Nashville lol
Even Teal'c was impressed by the P-90 😂

Great first weapon to own. Lots of history and you can never go wrong with a 1911.
I really dig the P90. It's a cool package with a really neat round. The only one I've had the opportunity to shoot was a SBR version. He passed away a few years ago and I think he left it to one of his kids
It's so good seeing a P90 with a proper length barrel
Great video , enjoyed the info on the p90, you got my sub.
USAF vehicle-mounted security was issued P90's when first added to US inventories. The downward ejection of spent rounds was one of the major pluses the P90 had.
Stargate nerd here with a pending Form 1 on my PS90! Love it! It is by far the most comfortable weapon to use wrong-handed I've ever shot. The controls plus downward ejection makes it more truly ambidextrous than anything else I've shot.
It's the most ridiculously ambi personal firearm I've ever seen. The only thing I can really critique against its ambi is the fire selector/safety switch, though it can still be operated from either side. I would love it if they scaled it up to 5.56 for SOCOM use.
you dont need a form 1 for a PS90. i enjoy mine, but it has got ridiculously expensive to shoot

I’m also wrong handed and would love to use a PS90. I had an airsoft P90, which was fun, though the high cap mags jammed too often.
Thanks for making this video
Really loving the watch, Brandon!
the reason the P90 is so much prefered by all the movie companies is for the simple reason that the casings are ejected downwards and even hard to notice on screen. basically every other gun ejects sideways. that is very noticable and when the actors are fighting in close quarters like a corridor, the casings went flying against faces and down the neck. as funny as a cursing and jumping actor might be on the behind the scenes footage, producers hate the light burn injuries and all the breaks because of that.
I was surprised Brandon did not mention that feature at all.
He promised P90, he delivered P90.
Always makes me happy to see a new video Brandon! :)

What is the shockwave radius of every WW2 German mortar blasts. Do not put shrapnel in the scenario. Leave out shrapnel. Also leave out shrapnel radius. Just talking about the shockwave radius of every mortar blast that the Germans used during WW2?
He still didnt delivered gyro jet
I fell in love with the P90 ever since Stargate SG-1, first time I saw the weapon in a game was in the first Far Cry game.
Im so glad you mentioned it from stargate because thats exactly where i learned of it from when i was a kid
I remember it from N64 Goldeneye as the RCP90, and the fastest shooter in the game. 90 rounds in 2 seconds, double wield as oddjob. Great times!
Yes! Later upgraded in Perfect Dark to the RCP 120 with cloaking device!
Sir, Oddjob is banned in deathmatch. That short fucker was cheating
Same 😂
Played that damn game for hrs on end!!!! Good times
Odd Job is banned in my hood!
Paintball mode for life!
😉
As a kid I grew up seeing p90 and mp7 in media and videogames, and with kid taste I grew up thought that the mp7 looks only like a fancy uzi lol
By the way, I like more the p90 for it's futuristic look and feel. You can't look at it without thinking at star gate come on. Also ergonomic it's pretty comfortable and it has some neat features!
Outside of cool factor, the P90 is honestly a very very practical gun. Massive ammo capacity, unbeatable rate of fire, uber compact with all the best luxury features..
I think there's good reason secret service went P90 and not MP7, from a purely practical standpoint.
RCP90 on Goldeneye N64 was my first intro to this gun
This is Murphy's gun in the Dresden Files.
Along with her Sig or "back up" of course she occasionally used Fidelechus and "camping supplies"
and its name is George
the timing here when he said "can i have some fucking money now?" was awesome, didnt even get the "now" finished when it cut to an ad. made me chuckle
I love the part where Brandon said it's Brandon time and Brandoned all over the range
Truly one of the Brandons of all time.
I cried at that part. The Brandoning wrecked me emotionally.
Until now I've never actually knew how the P90 worked, but in the first minute of the video I figured out how the safety works, where the used bullet casings go..You're great at this! Keep it up!
Thanks for the information and the laughs....
The Styer AUG we used in the Irish Army had the same trigger. The selector was under it and you had to push it up into the trigger to allow you to slide it back for full auto. Interesting to see something similar here.
"Irish Army." Sure.
They use the same trigger box/cassette.
@@handroids1981 some redcoat lover here
@@handroids1981 there is an Irish army, known as the defense forces. Goes on UN missions and everything. Its small and Very specifically only allowed to shoot at people who shoot at them first, but it does exist.
@@Santisima_Trinidad I thought he was joking. I used Army as I thought Defense force or PDF/RDF would be less clear to people 😊
I've never shot a full-auto P90, but I have shot an SBR PS90. Shooting it as fast as I could I was amazed at how it didn't recoil so much as just vibrate. What really impressed me, though, was the improved range over a 9mm subgun. I was issued a Colt 635 9mm at the time and while I really liked that gun, that PS90 SBR could be pressed into service at longer range.
20 years ago I was scaffolder on a Navy base in the Netherlands. Part of their training was encounters on ship (125 meter frigates) and to assault the bridge if it would be captured. I was building a scaffold right behind the bridge under the radar ball and got 2 p90s aimed towards me... Not a pleasant encounter tbh, recognized their red barrels so knew they were blanks but damn... quite imposing to be on the wrong end of it on short distance...
Love that StarGate call out. 10 seasons of rockin the P90 in SF squad. Great show.
Something else interesting about 5.7 is the case body is perfectly straight so it can fit nicely in a perfectly rectangular magazine. Normally, this would cause extraction issues, so it has a hard wax coating that melts under the heat of firing and lubricates extraction. This is actually the exact same thing done on the .276 Pedersen for the delayed blowback Pedersen rifle.
Swear to God it still causes extraction issues in some of the 5-7 pistols floating around. When they work, they feel you're shooting an accurate .22 pistol with basically no recoil, good effect on target, and it's like a dream. But I can trust an old-school, all-metal Beretta 92 variant in bog-standard 9x19 to go bang more reliably as long as it doesn't have thousands upon thousands of rounds through it already.
It's a teflon like polymer, not wax, and it doesn't melt. If it did melt, it would eventually foul the chamber.
@@crowe6961 Do you want a gun for running thousands of rounds through, or one that is effective in its primary purpose - threat eliminator? In this latter case the 5,7mm round outperforms the 9mm comprehensively! Thus, the P90/Five seveN combo is unbeatable!
@@dennisleighton2812 Considering that the second 5-7 round I ever fired jammed on me, and it was not the only one, while I had a grand total of one failure to eject on a Beretta 92FS after putting numerous mags through it, I'm not gonna take that bet. I'm not going to be up against Soviet paratroopers and the 5.7mm AP ammo is not exactly easy to come by anyway, so why even bother with such a temperamental and expensive platform?
9mm best mm.
@@crowe6961 Thanks for the reply, Crowe. I suppose it depends where you are when looking for 5,7mm ammo. I was in Florida, US recently, and the guy in the gun shop showed me shelves full of FN 5,7mm ammo. When I asked him about supply problems, he was quite mystified. He said he had another pallet full of ammo in the strongroom! As for temperamental, he says at their range they have pretty much the same experience as with other calibres (provided you use the correct ammo). El cheapos that are not properly lubricated did sometimes cause problems. The main reason for opting for 5,7mm is that is is just more effective than 9mm, and much easier to shoot accurately - this is a fact.
Agreed, 9mm is more popular, easier to obtain ammo, and usually very reliable (I myself was a Browning Hi-Power owner for decades).
3:24 lmfao the fact that you guys put an ad break right after this clip is pretty funny ngl
The Belgium army gave them to their support units (truck drivers, med staff, etc). At the time, and now again, you never knew if a Russian paratrooper with body armor would pop-up in e.g. the port of Antwerp to start WW III
Yes I did.... I don't think I had ever heard mention of the two pistol style backup iron sights...
It'll always be the RC-P90 to me! Thousands of hours of Goldeneye Multiplayer can't be unlearned!
Yes!
I travel 9-10 months a year and usually take my 2 stamp ps90. It fits in my backpack without a can and is super quick and easy to deploy. With a dedicated Sparrow it’s a real treat to shoot suppressed. Mags are a bitch to load, but the price of ammo has come down and is readily available. Top 5 guns personally.
You're never gonna have to reload a P90 in any real world scenario anyway.
@@Valorius more in the sense of physically putting cartridges in the mag
@@Basic_mt Roger roger.
Thanks for reviewing all the guns we love
The first time I heard about this gun was from Fallout 2. Although in that game it was a H&K, used 10mm ammo and only had a 24 round magazine. Still, it was my favorite general use gun in the game since 10mm ammo was extremely common.
Call me a Goldeneye nerd, but I remember the P90 as the RCP-90 in the Goldeneye 007 game on the Nintendo 64. It also made an appearance in Perfect Dark, as the RCP-45, though it was an unlockable gun in Perfect Dark. Still an amazing PDW. Thanks for this showcase vid, Brandon!!!
Silver PPK was the only one I liked better. Dual wielded of course.
I was wondering if anyone would bring Goldeneye up. Many hours on that game lol...
The RCP-120, the Perfect Dark upgrade of that gun was an absolute demon. 900 RPM, 120 round magazine and a built in cloak. Like let's go.
@@BullsMahunny The RCP-120 was a beast, NGL, especially if one used a GameShark to get infinite ammo for it.
I REALLY want them to do a remaster/reboot/remake of Perfect Dark for new-gen consoles. It was one of my favorite games back in the day! Goldeneye too.
the can at 10:47 is the new meaning of "blowing someones back out"
I'm a Stargate fan and this thing just looks badass... 🙂
I have been in love with this weapon since SG-1 and I really think it needs wider adoption in the US military. Tank crews and even breaching teams could find great use with 50 rounds of 5.7mm IT would also mean the cost of 5.7 could go down a little, I would think. Excellent video once again!
I've always wanted to see a beefier P90 that fires 5.56mm. Same exact design more or less, just upscaled like 20%. It'd still be compact and in principle, I think it'd be a decent gun, even if outside of the original intent.
I agree fully with both of you
@@BlazingOwnager So a Steyr Aug? I get what you're saying, it would be neat but imagine if the P90 and Steyr Aug had a baby, that's still 5.56, that would be a dream.
@@ThatMetalheadguy666 Yep! Perfect way to put it. The AUG is one of my favorites, has been forever - another one that has the looks, but actually backs it up by being a great gun.
The MP7 is honestly better in every way, which is why it found actual use with SEALs.
The P90 controls suck and the mag change is impossibly hard used in combat.
Freaking love the P90. Was my favorite go to gun in 007 goldeneye for the N64 lol. Absolutely love Stargate SG1 and all the P90 mayhem in that show.
Oh man we tore it up in Goldeneye. RCP90 was a beast.
Indeed.
I've fired this weapon and it is so easy to control as well as very accurate (even when firing it set on fully automatic).
The P90 is my favorite weapon SG1 made me a fan for sure great well rounded weapon
As a P90 lover ever since Stargate, and the fascinating story and fabrication details of both it, and the accompanying handgun (although it came later)
I was hoping you would also shoot and try out the 5,7 alongside the P90.
I still hope to some day get the chance to shoot both 😅
Sadly very expensive in DK and not widely available
I still prefer the MP5 in Stargate. The P90 demo for the Jaffa was one of the dumbest parts of the show.
I was kind of surprised how many PS-90s were available on the auction sites (long barrel, semi-auto). They run a bit under $2000, usually. There was even a conversion (long barrel but full auto) for sale... for the corresponding ridiculously inflated US price all "machine guns" demand. I've been assuming they were rare, but apparently not as much as I thought. Now I'm pondering a PS-90 and SBRing it - I could live with a semi version... the few transferrable full-auto ones are a bit too rich for me, however... 😋
@@TheWabbitSeason Post-90s me hates the fact they had MP5s OR P90s. 95% of the time they were out in the middle of alien planets in the woods or deserts, they should have had full on rifles.
But the P90 was definitely the best, and the weapon of war scene was great.
@@MrJest2 how the hell are ANY p90s transferable? The registry ended in 1986 didnt it? The p90 came out in 1990
I found the trigger on the Five-seveN to be quite a reach compared to a 1911 or CZ75. The magazine is longer front to back than a 1911, and the trigger is farther forward in the frame.
Not unreachable, but too far forward for me to get a square trigger press. I was always pushing a little bit sideways on the trigger because it was ahead of the first knuckle of my index finger.
i never knew the P90 had that style mag eject system, Brandon's videos help me animate guns more realistically.
What is the shockwave radius of every WW2 German mortar blasts. Do not put shrapnel in the scenario. Leave out shrapnel. Also leave out shrapnel radius. Just talking about the shockwave radius of every mortar blast that the Germans used during WW2?
Oddly enough, my earliest memory of the P90 was from Tomorrow Never Dies when they're in the safe house and a few of them pop out of the wall. Next was from Goldeneye Rouge Agent.
11:44 Any Stargate fan would have realized that was the overload switch for the naquadah core...
It was my first Airsoft gun back then 15 years ago. And yes, I got it because I am SG1 fanboy :D . I remember first time firing it, I did not account for barrel being so low from sights, so I did hit a window frame, which took me few seconds of full auto to realize.
At least I learned how to aim before I got real guns.
Thanks for review!
The P90 and Five-seveN have been two of my favorite guns since I was a kid. Any time I see them in a movie or video game, I get this big dumb grin on my face.
Any thoughts on the Ruger and S&W pistols? I've fired the Ruger, myself, and I like the layout of its controls better. Never actually shot a Five-seveN, though.
Same. Idk why, but I have to agree. Back in the day, Akibo P90s in COD MW2 was hilarious and abnoxious. Lol
@@eljefeamericano4308 The thing about me is that I like very specific types of guns. Guns that have something unique going on. In the cases of the P90 & Five-seveN, I like their naturally large ammo capacity. I haven't shot a Ruger yet, now that I think about it. As for S&W (and revolvers in general), the bigger the better! I hope to fire a S&W 500 one day.
one gun I have always wanted and this filled in some details I didn't know
