Seeing this weapon exhibited by a bodyguard of BASEP, I told myself " no! it is not possible, they would not dare take up arms with Uzi Israeli arms suffered by Palestinians. Knew nothing about weapons, I did my research on the net and there! I discovered that it is a P90! Out of Belgian factories in the years 80! This is not yesterday but what is the best in the Francophone world as we discover that the weapon was adopted long ago by special forces including the French GIGN ...
Technical Support when you hold us !
"The P-90, meaning" project90 ", is a submachine gun developed in the late 1980s by FN Herstal, the Belgian arms company. It was designed as a personal defense weapon or PDW (personal defense weapon) for officers, crew vehicles, artillery servers, all troops who do not need to carry an assault rifle, but which must nevertheless be able to defend themselves in case of sudden attack.
The concept of PDW therefore responds to that request, filling gaps in conventional pistols with ammunition handgun presents both an extension too short to deal with the actual distances of commitment and a punctured too weak to undo the protections which personal use is spreading increasingly. The P90 is the first weapon to meet that goal.
This compact and light weapons is also perfectly suited Confined in battle (CQB) type building. Its ammunition is reminiscent of a miniature 5.56 NATO can engage targets up to 200 meters. There is also a subsonic ammunition which allows to use the P90 with a silencer. Such a device obviously degrades significantly the performance of the weapon.
Ammunition is stored in a charger translucent particularly unusual. Placed above the weapon without forming a protrusion, it contains 50 cartridges that are stored perpendicular to the axis of the barrel.

The P90 has been adopted by many Special Forces units including the GIGN France. For
anecdote, p90 is the main weapon used in the television series "Stargate SG-1".
