I really want an FN P90. I understand that there are no legaly transferable ones so what about this...

Can a Class III dealer order one for me and convert it to semi-auto only? Would that make it legal to own? I know there are no legal pre-ban mags but I like the look of this firearm and would just like to have one, ten round limit if must be.
 
If for some how you where able to get a P90 you would not be able to buy the Ammo to shoot it, the 5.7x28 round is fires is not legaly for any one that is not a Cop, or in the Military, to have.
If you would like some thing that look and feels like a P90 then you can buy a Air-Soft P90 that shoots BBs for about $400.
 
I believe that part of the 94' weapons ban prohibits the possession of a foreign made short barrel rifles manufactured after Sept of 94'. And then there is the problem of the magazine capacity.

the 5.7x28 round is fires is not legaly for any one that is not a Cop, or in the Military, to have.

It was FN's choice not to offer this cartridge to civilians, not law.

No it really is not legaly to have this round, the BATF ruled that the 5.7x28 cartridge is "non-sporting" and cannot be sold outside of Law Enforcement and Military agencies.
 
Even if you could get the ammo, it would be very expensive to fire, even in semi auto. I also don't think that the magazine can be in low cap. only, due to it's design, but it could be made mostly of solid plastic, but I may be thinking of another weapon.
 
The only way that I think that you could legally obtain one of these is to become an SOT (Special Occupational Taxpayer). I do not know the details of this, but basically the ATF says that your job allows you to have restricted weapons. Like if you are an FFL that sells to law enforcement. Then you can have one as a "dealer sample".

The following link has lots of good information about this illogical piece of crap legislation.

Actually, for those willing to go with the "toy" version, I seem to recall seeing the P90 offered on a website for around $250. I'll see if I can dig up the link later tonight...
 
Oh well, Just one more reason for civil disobedience. If everyone would follow the constitution and ignore all laws contrary to it, the government would find it impossible to enforce anything.

Lets hope the Supreme Court will eventually declare all gun laws unconstitutional and really scare the crap out of the liberals/socialists.
 
I wouldn't say ALL gun laws are unconstitutional. I don't mind the insta-check, or the security behind owning a class III. But, then again, some are very bad.
 
Got to play with one again this past week. A law enforcement distributor brought one to the "trade" show and everyone had an opportunity to empty a magazine. Tried a few single shots (easy to accomplish when set on full auto) and then short bursts followed by a long, continuous burst. It was sweet.
 
Saw three of them on tables at Knob Creek last weekend. Tow were on Gemtech's table and one had a suppressor on it. Don't recall where I saw the other one but it was near Gemtech's table.
 
Does anyone know if I could purchase ammo and the FN with a class 3? I've been wanting one too. Is the ammo all that much? How much and who distributes it?

Is there anything pre-ban (mags) that are comparable in size, wt. and ammo?

Lots of ?s, but a couple of us just got to get one, or at least something close. Air soft fluff shot just isn't the same. ;)

Thanks!

As i said in one of my frist posts on this thread it is not legaly to have the 5.7x28 cartridge, the BATF ruled that the 5.7x28 cartridge is "non-sporting" and cannot be sold outside of Law Enforcement and Military agencies.
And FN is not looking to make or sell the P90 in any other round.

If you had a class III dealer's license, yes. No problems then.

As for the money - if you have to ask about feeding it, you shouldn't have bought it. (Highbrow way of saying that I have no clue)

Anything preban that compares.....how about a Grendel? 30 really high velocity, small bore projectiles ? It's a .22 Mag pistol, if you weren't familliar.
