==History==
===Development===
The P90 and its 5.7×28mm ammunition were developed by the Belgian company FN Herstal in response to NATO requests for a replacement for the [[Engineering:9×19mm Parabellum|9×19mm Parabellum]] cartridge and associated pistols and submachine guns.<ref name="gourley2003">Gourley, S.; Kemp, I (November 26, 2003). "The Duellists". Jane's Defence Weekly ({{ISSN|0265-3818}}), Volume 40 Issue 21, pp 26–28.</ref> NATO called for two types of weapons [[Engineering:Chamber (firearms)|chambered]] for a new cartridge—one a [[Engineering:Shoulder-fired missile|shoulder-fired weapon]], and the other a handheld weapon.<ref name="gourley2003"/> According to NATO, these new weapons, termed personal defense weapons (PDWs), were to provide "personal protection in last-resort situations when the user is directly endangered by the enemy [...]."<ref name="gourley2003"/> In 1989, NATO published document ''D/296'', outlining a number of preliminary specifications for these weapons:
* The new cartridge was to have greater range, accuracy, and terminal performance than the 9×19mm cartridge.<ref name="gourley2003"/> Additionally, it was to be capable of penetrating [[Engineering:Body armor|body armor]].<ref name="gourley2003"/>
* The shoulder-fired personal defense weapon was to weigh less than 3&nbsp;kg (6.6&nbsp;lb), with a [[Engineering:Magazine (firearms)|magazine]] capacity of at least 20 rounds.<ref name="gourley2003"/>
* The handheld personal defense weapon (pistol) was to weigh less than 1&nbsp;kg (2.2&nbsp;lb), although a weight of 700&nbsp;g (1.5&nbsp;lb) was deemed desirable; it was to have a magazine capacity of at least 20 rounds.<ref name="gourley2003"/>
* Both weapons were to be sufficiently compact to be carried hands-free on the user's person at all times, whether in the cab of a vehicle or the [[Engineering:Cockpit|cockpit]] of an aircraft, and were to perform effectively in all environments and weather conditions.<ref name="gourley2003"/>

FN Herstal was the first [[Engineering:Small arms|small arms]] manufacturer to respond to NATO's requirement; FN started by developing a shoulder-fired personal defense weapon, the P90, along with a small caliber, high velocity 5.7×28mm cartridge type.<ref name="gourley2003"/> The original 5.7×28mm cartridge, called the ''SS90'', went into production with the P90 in 1990.<ref name="marchington2004">{{cite book |first=James |last=Marchington |year=2004 |title=The Encyclopedia of Handheld Weapons |publisher=Lewis International, Inc. |location=Miami |isbn=9781930983144}}</ref> The SS90 propelled a 1.5&nbsp;g (23&nbsp;[[Grain (unit)|grain]]) plastic-core [[Physics:Projectile|projectile]] from the P90 at a [[Physics:Muzzle velocity|muzzle velocity]] of roughly 850&nbsp;m/s (2,800&nbsp;ft/s).<ref name="marchington2004"/>

Following the P90's introduction, FN revised the 5.7×28mm ammunition.<ref name="gunzonetimeline1990"/> The new variation, designated the ''SS190'', used a projectile 2.7&nbsp;mm (0.11&nbsp;in) shorter in length than that of the SS90.<ref name="marchington2004"/> This allowed it to be used more conveniently in the 5.7×28mm [[Engineering:FN Five-seven|FN Five-seven]] pistol, which was under development at that time.<ref name="gunzonetimeline1990"/> The SS190 projectile had a greater weight, and a more conventional construction with an aluminium and steel core.<ref name="gunzonetimeline1990"/><ref name="marchington2004"/> The first prototypes of the SS190 were created in 1992, and the design was finalized in 1993, replacing the SS90.<ref name="gunzonetimeline1990"/> A modified version of the P90, with a magazine adapted to use the shortened ammunition, was then introduced in the same year.<ref name="gunzonetimeline1990"/> Several special cartridge variations were developed, such as the L191 [[Engineering:Tracer ammunition|tracer]] round and the SB193 [[Physics:Speed of sound|subsonic]] round for use with a sound-suppressed P90.<ref name="jones2009">{{cite book |editor1-first=Richard D. |editor1-last=Jones |editor2-first=Leland S. |editor2-last=Ness |title=Jane's Infantry Weapons 2009/2010 |date=January 27, 2009 |edition=35th |publisher=Jane's Information Group |location=Coulsdon |isbn=9780710628695}}</ref>

===NATO evolution===

In 2002 and 2003, NATO conducted a series of tests with the intention of standardizing a PDW cartridge as a replacement for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge.<ref name="oliver2007">{{cite web|author=Oliver, David|year=2007|title=In the Line of Fire|url=http://www.global-defence.com/2006/Utilities/article.php?id=40|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061016074936/http://www.global-defence.com/2006/Utilities/article.php?id=40|archive-date=October 16, 2006|access-date=October 19, 2009|publisher=Global Defence Review}}</ref> The tests compared the relative merits of the FN 5.7×28mm cartridge and the [[Engineering:HK 4.6×30mm|HK 4.6×30mm]] cartridge, which was created by {{wipe|Germany}} small arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch as a competitor to the 5.7×28mm.<ref name="oliver2007"/> The results of the NATO tests were analyzed by a group formed of experts from Canada, France, the {{wipe|United Kingdom}}, and the United States, and the group's conclusion was that the 5.7×28mm was "undoubtedly" the more efficient cartridge;<ref name="oliver2007"/> However, the German delegation and others rejected the NATO recommendation that 5.7×28mm be standardized, halting the standardization process indefinitely.<ref name="oliver2007"/><ref name="gourley2003"/> As a result, both the 4.6×30mm and 5.7×28mm cartridges (and the associated weapons) have been independently adopted by various NATO countries, according to preference; the P90 is currently in service with military and police forces in over 40 countries throughout the world.<ref name="milrev"/><ref name="gourley2003"/>

===Present===
Further development of the P90 led to the creation of the ''P90 TR'' model, which has a [[Engineering:Picatinny rail|MIL-STD-1913]] (Picatinny) triple rail interface for mounting accessories.<ref name="gourley2003"/> This model was introduced in late 1999 and continues to be offered alongside the standard P90.<ref name="gourley2003"/> More recently, the P90 has been offered to civilian shooters as the ''PS90'', a semi-automatic [[Engineering:Carbine|carbine]] intended for personal protection and sporting use.<ref name="fnhusaps90">{{cite web |url=http://www.fnhusa.com/l/products/commercial/carbines/ps90-standard |title=FNH USA Carbines&nbsp;— The PS90 Standard |publisher=FNH USA |year=2012 |access-date=August 31, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120913050332/http://www.fnhusa.com/l/products/commercial/carbines/ps90-standard/ |archive-date=September 13, 2012 }}</ref>

The standard P90 disassembles into similar component groups: 1. hammer group, 2. barrel and optical sight group, 3. butt plate, 4. magazine, 5. moving parts group, 6. frame and trigger group]]

The P90 is a [[Engineering:Selective fire|selective fire]], straight blowback-operated weapon with a cyclic [[Rate of fire|rate of fire]] of around 850–1,100 rounds per minute.<ref name="jones2009"/><ref name="fnhusap90">{{cite web |url=http://www.fnhusa.com/l/products/law-enforcement/tactical/p90-series |title=FNH USA Tactical Weapons&nbsp;– The P90 Series |year=2012 |publisher=FNH USA |access-date=August 31, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120913064157/http://www.fnhusa.com/l/products/law-enforcement/tactical/p90-series/ |archive-date=September 13, 2012 }}</ref> The weapon is chambered for FN's 5.7×28mm ammunition. Its unusual shape is based on extensive ergonomic research.<ref name="jones2009"/><ref name="miller2001"/> The weapon is grasped by means of a thumbhole in the frame that acts as a [[Engineering:Pistol grip|pistol grip]], as well as an oversized [[Engineering:Trigger guard|trigger guard]] that acts as a foregrip for the shooter's support hand.<ref name="marchington2004"/> The P90 fires from a [[Engineering:Closed bolt|closed bolt]] for maximum accuracy, and its design makes extensive use of [[Chemistry:Polymers|polymers]] for reduced weight and cost.<ref name="dettyTL2008"/> Overall, the weapon is relatively lightweight, weighing 2.5&nbsp;kg (5.6&nbsp;lb) empty, or 3&nbsp;kg (6.6&nbsp;lb) with a loaded 50-round magazine.<ref name="miller2001"/><ref name="marchington2004"/>

The P90 is notable for being fully ambidextrous—it can be operated by [[Physics:Handedness|right]] or left-handed shooters with equal ease, and without making any modifications to the weapon.<ref name="marchington2004"/> FN Herstal has described it as the "first fully ambidextrous individual automatic weapon."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fnherstal.com/html/p_90.htm |title=P90® Submachine Gun, 5.7x28mm |year=2002 |publisher=FN Herstal |access-date=October 15, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020214012140/http://www.fnherstal.com/html/p_90.htm |archive-date=2002-02-14}}</ref> The charging handle, magazine release and backup iron sights are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the weapon, and the firing selector is located directly at the foot of the trigger, where it can be operated from either side by the shooter's trigger finger or support hand thumb.<ref name="fnhusap90"/> When fired, the P90 [[Engineering:Downward ejection|ejects spent cartridge casings downward]] through a chute located behind the grip, so spent cases are kept out of the shooter's [[Line of sight|line of sight]].<ref name="marchington2004"/>

[[File:FNP90MAG02.jpg|thumb|upright|The P90's unique magazine has a capacity of 50 rounds, and it fits flush with the weapon's frame<ref name="dockery2007"/>|alt=]]
The P90 can be fitted with a [[Engineering:Sling (firearms)|sling]] for greater ease of carry, and since the weapon has a fixed [[Engineering:Stock (firearms)|stock]] (as opposed to having a collapsing or folding stock), it can be quickly deployed when needed.<ref name="marchington2004"/><ref name="fnhp90">{{cite web |url=http://www.fnherstal.com/index.php?id=268&backPID=262&productID=63&pid_product=294&pidList=262&categorySelector=4&detail=&cHash=fb257c2c82 |title=Personal Defense Weapons: P90® Standard |year=2011 |publisher=FN Herstal |access-date=May 18, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110317031144/http://www.fnherstal.com/index.php?id=268&backPID=262&productID=63&pid_product=294&pidList=262&categorySelector=4&detail=&cHash=fb257c2c82 |archive-date=March 17, 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref> The weapon's smooth, rounded contours prevent it from snagging on the shooter's clothing or equipment, and a small vertical protrusion is provided at the front end of the weapon's frame to prevent the shooter's hand from accidentally slipping in front of the muzzle while shooting.<ref name="miller2001"/><ref name="marchington2004"/> A hollow compartment inside the rear of the weapon's frame—accessed by removing the buttplate—allows for storage of a cleaning kit.<ref name="marchington2004"/>

The P90 was designed to have a length no greater than a man's shoulder width, to allow it to be easily carried and maneuvered in tight spaces, such as the inside of an [[Engineering:Armoured fighting vehicle|armored vehicle]].<ref name="dockery2007"/> To achieve this, the weapon's design uses the unconventional [[Engineering:Bullpup|bullpup]] configuration, in which the action and magazine are located behind the trigger and alongside the shooter's face so that there is no wasted space in the [[Engineering:Stock (firearms)|stock]].<ref name="dettyTL2008"/> The P90's dimensions are minimized by its unique horizontally mounted feeding system, wherein the [[Engineering:Magazine (firearms)|box magazine]] sits parallel to the barrel on top of the weapon's frame.<ref name="dockery2007"/> The weapon overall has an extremely compact profile—it is the most compact fixed-stock submachine gun to be made.<ref name="dockery2007"/> The standard version of the weapon has an overall length of 500&nbsp;mm (19.7&nbsp;in), a height of 210&nbsp;mm (8.3&nbsp;in), and a width of 55&nbsp;mm (2.2&nbsp;in).<ref name="jones2009"/>

The P90 requires minimal maintenance, and it can be disassembled quickly and easily.<ref name="jones2009"/><ref name="wall2003"/> It is a modular firearm, consisting of four main component groups: the [[Engineering:Gun barrel|barrel]] and optical sight group, the moving parts group, the frame and [[Engineering:Trigger (firearms)|trigger]] group, and the [[Engineering:Hammer (firearms)|hammer]] group. The P90's barrel is [[Engineering:Forging|cold hammer-forged]] and [[Engineering:Chrome plating|chrome-lined]], with an overall length of 263&nbsp;mm (10.4&nbsp;in).<ref name="fnhusap90"/> The barrel has eight [[Engineering:Rifling|rifling]] grooves with a right-hand [[Twist rate|twist rate]] of 1:231&nbsp;mm (1:9.1&nbsp;in), and it is equipped with a diagonally cut [[Engineering:Flash suppressor|flash suppressor]] that also acts as a recoil compensator.<ref name="jones2009"/><ref name="fnhusap90"/> The stated service life of the barrel is 20,000 rounds.<ref name="dockery2007"/>

The P90 uses an internal hammer striking mechanism and a trigger mechanism with a three-position rotary dial fire control selector, located at the foot of the trigger. The dial has three settings: ''S''&nbsp;– safe, ''1''&nbsp;– semi-automatic fire, and ''A''&nbsp;– fully automatic fire. When set on ''A'', the P90's fire selector provides a two-stage trigger operation similar to that of the [[Engineering:Steyr AUG|Steyr AUG]] assault rifle—pulling the trigger back slightly produces semi-automatic fire, and pulling the trigger fully to the rear produces fully automatic fire.<ref name="marchington2004"/>

===Ammunition===

Particularly significant to the design of the P90 is the small-caliber, high-velocity bottlenecked cartridge it uses. The 5.7×28mm cartridge was created by FN Herstal in response to a NATO requirement that called for a replacement for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge, which is commonly used in pistols and submachine guns.<ref name="oliver2007"/> The 5.7×28mm cartridge weighs 6.0&nbsp;g (93&nbsp;[[Grain (unit)|grains]])—roughly half as much as a typical 9×19mm cartridge—allowing the same number of rounds to be carried for less weight, or allowing more rounds to be carried for the same weight.<ref name="dettyTL2008"/><ref name="fnhusaammo2002">{{cite web |url=http://www.fnhusa.com/contents/tw_57x28system.htm |title=FNH USA, Inc. 5.7×28mm Weapon System |year=2002 |publisher=FNH USA |access-date=February 1, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021225101159/http://www.fnhusa.com/contents/tw_57x28system.htm |archive-date=December 25, 2002}}</ref><ref name="fortierusg02">{{cite web |url=http://www.handgunsmag.com/ammunition/hg_militarytoday_200811 |title=Military Ammo Today |author=Fortier, David |year=2008 |publisher=Handguns Magazine |access-date=October 19, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100122045316/http://www.handgunsmag.com/ammunition/hg_militarytoday_200811/ |archive-date=2010-01-22 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Since the 5.7×28mm cartridge has a relatively small diameter, an unusually high number of cartridges can be contained in a magazine.<ref name="amselle2011">{{cite web |url=http://www.tactical-life.com/online/special-weapons/fn-five-seven-57x28mm |title=FN FIVE-SEVEN 5.7×28mm |date=November 2011 |author=Amselle, Jorge |publisher=Special Weapons For Military & Police |access-date=November 9, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111224172429/http://www.tactical-life.com/online/special-weapons/fn-five-seven-57x28mm/ |archive-date=December 24, 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref> The cartridge has a loud [[Physics:Muzzle blast|report]] and produces considerable [[Physics:Muzzle blast#Muzzle flash|muzzle flash]] (when fired from a pistol), but it produces roughly 30&nbsp;percent less [[Engineering:Recoil|recoil]] than the 9×19mm cartridge, improving [[Engineering:Muzzle rise|controllability]].<ref name="fortierusg02"/> Due to its high velocity, the 5.7×28mm exhibits an exceptionally flat [[Physics:Trajectory|trajectory]], compared to typical pistol ammunition.<ref name="dockery2007"/><ref name="wall2003"/>

One of the design intents for the standard 5.7×28mm cartridge type, the ''SS190'', was that it has the ability to penetrate [[Chemistry:Kevlar|Kevlar]] protective vests that stop conventional pistol bullets.<ref name="fortierusg02"/> Fired from the P90, the 5.7×28mm SS190 has a muzzle velocity of roughly 716&nbsp;m/s (2,350&nbsp;ft/s, Mach 2) and can penetrate the NATO CRISAT vest  or a Level IIIA Kevlar vest at a range of 200 m (219 yd).<ref name="wall2003"/><ref name="fortierusg02"/> FN states an effective range of 200&nbsp;m (219&nbsp;yd) and a maximum range of 1,800&nbsp;m (1,969&nbsp;yd) for the 5.7×28mm cartridge when fired from the P90.<ref name="jones2009"/>

In testing conducted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in 1999, the SS190 fired from the P90 at a distance of 25&nbsp;m (27&nbsp;yd) exhibited an average penetration depth of 25&nbsp;cm (9.85&nbsp;in) in [[Physics:Ballistic gelatin|ballistic gelatin]] covered with a Level II vest.<ref name="cutshaw2006">Cutshaw, Charlie (May 2006).

The 5.7×28mm projectile potentially poses less risk of [[Social:Collateral damage|collateral damage]] than conventional pistol bullets, because the projectile design limits overpenetration, as well as the risk of [[Physics:Ricochet|ricochet]].<ref name="cutshaw2006"/><ref name="humphries2008"/> The lightweight projectile loses much of its [[Physics:Kinetic energy|kinetic energy]] after traveling only 400 m (437&nbsp;yd), whereas a conventional pistol bullet such as the 9×19mm retains significant energy beyond 800 m (875&nbsp;yd), posing greater risk of collateral damage in the event of a miss.<ref name="dockery2007"/> This range exceeds the engagement distances expected for the 5.7×28mm cartridge's intended applications, so the cartridge's limited energy at long range is not considered to be disadvantageous.<ref name="dockery2007"/> Since the SS190 projectile does not rely on fragmentation or the expansion of a hollow point, the cartridge (and 5.7×28mm weapons) is considered suitable for military use under the Hague Convention of 1899, which prohibits the use of [[Engineering:Expanding bullet|expanding bullet]]s in [[Social:Warfare|warfare]].<ref name="bahde2009"/>

The P90 was originally equipped with the Ring Sights HC-14-62 [[Physics:Reflector sight|reflex sight]], but the current weapon is instead fitted with the Ring Sights MC-10-80 sight, which was specifically designed for it.<ref name="gourley2003"/><ref name="ringsights01">{{cite web |url=http://www.ringsights.com/Products/sights/SightsDesc/MC-10-80.htm |title=Ring Sights MC-10-80 |publisher=Ring Sights |access-date=June 28, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715185206/http://www.ringsights.com/Products/sights/SightsDesc/MC-10-80.htm |archive-date=July 15, 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref> The HC-14-62 has a polymer housing and uses a forward-aimed fiber optic collector to illuminate the white daytime [[Astronomy:Reticle|reticle]], which consists of a large circle of about 180 minutes of arc (MOA), with a 20 MOA circle surrounding a 3.5 MOA dot in the center. The MC-10-80 has an anodized aluminium housing, and has a similar black reticle. The night reticle for both the HC-14-62 and the MC-10-80 consists of an open ''T'' that is primarily illuminated by a tritium module, and, in the HC-14-62, ambient light drawn in by an upward-facing collector. The sight is adjustable for both [[Physics:Windage|windage]] and [[Elevation (ballistics)|elevation]], and it can be used in conjunction with night vision equipment.<ref name="ringsights01"/> As backup in case the reflex sight is damaged, a set of fixed iron sights is provided on each side of the reflex sight housing.<ref name="ringsights01"/> The newest MC-10-80, designated as the MC-10-80 Electronic, no longer uses tritium for its night reticle. Instead, the normal reticle can be illuminated in green powered by a CR2032 [[Physics:Electric battery|battery]], with eight different [[Physics:Brightness|brightness]] settings. The illuminated reticle makes the sight more versatile in a variety of different conditions.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}}

The P90 has provisions for mounting a number of different types of accessories, including [[Engineering:Tactical light|tactical light]]s and laser aiming devices. A sling can be attached to the P90 for greater ease of carry, or it can be fitted with various sound suppressors such as the Gemtech ''SP90'', which was designed specifically for the weapon in cooperation with FN Herstal.<ref name="jones2009"/> This [[Chemistry:Stainless steel|stainless steel]] suppressor with a black oxide finish is built according to MIL-SPECs, including saltwater corrosion resistance.<ref name="jones2009"/> It has a length of 184&nbsp;mm (7.2&nbsp;in), a diameter of 35&nbsp;mm (1.4&nbsp;in) and a weight of 680 g (1.5&nbsp;lb).<ref name="jones2009"/> When [[Physics:Speed of sound|subsonic]] ammunition is used in conjunction with the suppressor, it reduces the sound signature of the P90 by 33&nbsp;[[Physics:Decibel|dB]].<ref name="jones2009"/> A small case collector pouch for the P90 is available which fits over the ejection port and collects spent cases as they are ejected downward; the pouch will collect up to one hundred cases before filling.<ref name="gourley2003"/><ref name="wall2003"/>

====P90 USG====
The ''P90 USG'' (United States Government) model is similar to the standard P90, except the [[Physics:Reflector sight|reflex sight]] housing is aluminium, and the sight has a revised [[Astronomy:Reticle|reticle]].<ref name="rodriguez2008"/> The black reticle consists of a tiny dot inside of a small ring, which is joined by three posts that glow red in low light conditions due to [[Physics:Tritium|tritium]]-illumination.<ref name="rodriguez2008"/> The USG reflex sight can be removed and replaced with a special MIL-STD-1913 (''Picatinny'') rail mount for attaching a different sight.<ref name="rodriguez2008"/>

====P90 Laserex models====
The ''P90 LV'' (Laser Visible) and ''P90 IR'' (InfraRed) models, both of which were introduced in late 1995, have an integrated laser sight manufactured by Laserex Technologies in Australia.<ref name="idr1996">"Revolution in Slow Motion".

===PS90===
The '''PS90''' is a semi-automatic [[Engineering:Carbine|carbine]] variant of the P90, intended for civilian shooters for personal protection and sporting use; it was introduced in 2005, and continues to be offered in several configurations.<ref name="fnhusaps90"/><ref name="detty2008">{{cite web |url=http://www.fnhusa1.com/PDF/reviews/0801PS90policemag.pdf |title=FNH USA PS90 Carbine |author=Detty, Mike |date=January 1, 2008 |publisher=Police Magazine |access-date=October 14, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120425014231/http://www.fnhusa1.com/PDF/reviews/0801PS90policemag.pdf |archive-date=April 25, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The PS90 will accept the standard 50-round P90 magazines, but the gun is supplied with a magazine that is blocked to a capacity of 10 or 30 rounds, allowing it to be sold in jurisdictions where magazine capacities are restricted by law.<ref name="detty2008"/>

In order to be legal for purchase by civilians without obtaining a tax stamp for a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) as defined by the United States National Firearms Act, the PS90 carbine has an extended 407&nbsp;mm (16&nbsp;in) barrel and is semi-automatic, with a trigger pull of approximately {{convert|31|-|36|N}}.<ref name="rodriguez2008"/><ref name="detty2008"/> The lengthened barrel has eight [[Engineering:Rifling|rifling]] grooves, with a right-hand [[Twist rate|twist rate]] of 1:229&nbsp;mm (1:9 in) and a rifled length of {{convert|376|mm|abbr=on}}; the muzzle is equipped with a fixed "birdcage" type [[Engineering:Flash suppressor|flash suppressor]].<ref name="detty2008"/>

Despite the added barrel length, the PS90 is relatively compact and lightweight, with an overall length of 667&nbsp;mm (26.3&nbsp;in), and a weight of 3.4&nbsp;kg (7.5&nbsp;lb) with a fully loaded 50-round magazine.<ref name="detty2008"/> Due to the added barrel length, the PS90 can achieve a muzzle velocity of up to 777&nbsp;m/s (2,550&nbsp;ft/s) with SS195LF ammunition, or up to 930&nbsp;m/s (3,050&nbsp;ft/s) with third-party ammunition.<ref name="fnhusacatalogammo08">{{cite web |url=http://www.fnhusa1.com/PDF/FNH08ammunition.pdf |title=FNH USA 2008 Product Catalog&nbsp;– 5.7×28mm Ammunition |publisher=FNH USA |year=2008 |access-date=January 30, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711014139/http://www.fnhusa1.com/PDF/FNH08ammunition.pdf |archive-date=July 11, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="gunblast">{{cite web |url=http://www.gunblast.com/FNH-PS90.htm |title=PS90 USG 5.7x28mm Semi-Auto Carbine from FNH-USA |author=Quinn, Jeff |date=May 27, 2009 |publisher=Gunblast |access-date=August 18, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110831143724/http://www.gunblast.com/FNH-PS90.htm |archive-date=August 31, 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref>

====PS90 Standard====
The ''PS90 Standard'' is the current model of the PS90 offered by FN Herstal.<ref name="fnhusaps90"/> It features a MIL-STD-1913 (''Picatinny'') rail fitted to the top of the receiver, which allows the shooter to mount their preferred optical sight.<ref name="fnhusaps90"/> The rail includes a set of integrated iron sights, as backup in case the primary sight is damaged.<ref name="fnhusaps90"/> As of 2019 the PS90 Standard is available with a black frame.<ref name="fnhusaps90"/>

====PS90 SBR====
The ''PS90 SBR'' variant is functionally identical to the “PS90 Standard”, but instead of the extended 16 inch barrel, this variant retains the standard 10.5 inch barrel of its selective-fire counterpart, thus making it the ballistic equivalent, in semi-automatic only form. The PS90 SBR is not usually listed on FN Herstal’s website, but is offered commercially through third-party extensions. These are made either through factory standard layouts, or conversions made by swapping the barrel. This renders the weapon a “short barreled rifle”, and thus the required tax stamp is necessary in order to purchase and/or transfer it. The weapon is regulated as “Title II”, and special certification is required in most states. As with all factory standard PS90 receivers special welding is in place to complicate full auto conversion.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}}

====PS90 TR====
The ''PS90 TR'' is now discontinued.<ref name="fnhusaps90"/> It featured a "Triple Rail" receiver assembly identical to that of the P90 TR.<ref name="fnhusaps90"/> The top of the receiver consisted of an MIL-STD-1913 (''Picatinny'') rail, allowing the shooter to mount their preferred optical sight.<ref name="detty2008"/> Two polymer side rails—one on each side of the receiver—were included for mounting secondary accessories, such as lasers or tactical lights.<ref name="detty2008"/> Like the PS90 Standard, the PS90 TR was available with either an [[Olive drab|olive drab]] or black frame.<ref name="fnhusaps90"/> As of 2013, the PS90 TR model is no longer listed by FNH USA.<ref name="fnhusaps90"/>
