Can't believe you're getting a PS90 after your reaction above! Did you just start clicking randomly on the FN website and pick up the -2000 too!?

I can't wait until I "join up" and start knockin' down the big bucks... after all, A4's is doin all this purchasing on his pension: 1/2 1950's-era LT's pay. Right? Adjusted for inflation... I think I could buy a couple DDG's.

Dude, try 747 captain's pension... Thats like more in retirement pay than 99% of the rest of the country makes in yearly salary...

Yeah, but, yeah, but, yeah, but ... you probably could; but you probably couldn't afford the crew for them.

The crews cost too much and want liberty and leave and medical AND THEIR pensions ... and then there's that "don't ask; don't tell" bullshit to you'd have to deal with ... :D

Shot it today ... I like, very much. With the benefit of hindsight, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Pretty good in my hand, not the "best", but "pretty damn good" ... the safety will require a little retraining to "get it right" ... the felt recoil is negligible ... the accuracy of the SS195 and SS197 ammunition was excellent ... you can repeatedly punch inside the 9 ring on a B-27 target @ 50+ yards.

I think I'll get another barrel and some "interesting" accessories ... ??? :)

Longer applications of the 5.7x28mm cartridge are "in the mail" ... :)

contemplating applying again...
speaking of the P90... I've heard that the first 50,000 made had an "issue" where you could move a spring, making the weapon full auto? Internet rumor???

The rounds that are "banned in civie street" are they truly banned and punishable by law for posession or are they not commercially for sale? I ask because I have seen some pretty crazy stuff for sale at gun shows and such... Flachete rounds, AP, API, even seen some live 40mm HE grenade rounds for sale (that required a 200 dollar destructive device tax stamp for each one).

ie. handloaders...

FN's space laser bullpup AR received a very positive review from the site A4's linked:

FS2000

Looks like a blast to shoot. The feature where it ejects the brass only after the 4th round is interesting. I take it there is a provision that allows you to clear the ejection tube... otherwise, after factory fresh, you're permanently carrying four shell casings around.

When is yours due, A4's?
