P90
From 7th Cavalry Regiment Wiki
The P90 is a personal defense weapon (PDW) designed by Belgian firearms manufacturer FN Herstal in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The weapon's name is an abbreviation of Project 9.0, which specifies a weapon system of the 1990s. The P90 was originally designed as a compact but powerful firearm for vehicle drivers, operators of crew-served weapons, support personnel, special forces and anti-terrorist units. It is found in COD4.

History
The P90 was developed by FN between 1986 and 1990 in conjunction with the 5.7x28mm cartridge. FN's goal was to replace the pistol-caliber submachine guns which were in use at the time by military and law enforcement personnel, as it had become evident that such weapons were ineffective against body armor.
By 2003, 17,000 P90s were in use by military and police forces in over 25 countries worldwide. By 2009, the P90 and variants were in use with over 200 law enforcement agencies in the United States. The PS90 sporting model is also becoming popular among civilian shooters.
