any p90's in country?

The gun is OK, the ammo is questionable. The wording regarding "armor piercing" ammo specifically mentions 5.7x28, and that ambiguity has not been resolved.
 
Only aftermarket Bullpup stocks are prohibitted,and those that can be removed from the firearm and still allow it to be fired apparantly as in the case of the G22. The 5.7x28mm ammo is the issue.

read that. Just because it's a bullpup rifle doesn't class it as a prohib by default. Yes, the AUG and L85 and probbly a few others are prohibs, but that's because the pinheaded fools that classed them as such don't know their bung hole from a pot hole. They fell into the same "Oh, this is evil scary looking" like the Kalashnikov rifles.

It's aftermarket stocks that they were trying to crack down on.

But yeah, until someone figures out a way to get a PS90 into Canada without having to deal with FNUSA, You'll only be able to see them on SG1 and Atlantis :(

And apparently, reloading dies ARE available for 5.7x28mm, it'd be an easy enough task to find some adequate non SS109 bullets to load with. The SS107 ammo which is also available apparently sucks donkey scrotum.

FNUSA has nothing to do with the equation here guys... If it is in fact legal for us, then all the importer has to do is go through an FFL dealer in the US to have a unit procured. It's been said before - if it's GTG with the US authorities (export wise) and GTG with our government (import wise), then the manufacturer really has no say in the matter...

hsld.
 
But that's the thing... US Gov't said NO.

So we have to get ours from Europe, and Herstal will most likely refer us to FNUSA, and FNUSA, regardless of how bad they'd want to sell them to us, can't sell them up here.
 
Can a P90 fire without the "stock"? Yes, I know about the G22 and the silly government law makers. Wish I had bought a G22 before it went prohib just so I could be part of any court action. Silly laws.

What makes this ammo so scary? Any more "armor piercing" than most other rifle rounds?

I doubt it's any more or less armor penetrating than any of the other intermediate cartridges out there (IE SS109 leaded 5.56mm.) The key is the steel core.

There is sporting ammo available for it, being the SS196 and SS197 using a 40gr Hornady V-max bullet. They won't penetrate body armor like a 190, but would probably do a number on a soft target.

I'm thinking a PS90 would make a fairly light, compact varmint rig in that case :p

the rifle is still nonrestricted but the stock is prohibitted.

the P90 stock is the reciever itself.
