The P90 or ES C90, as it was previously
known, is a submachine gunfeatured in
the Counter-Strike series.
Overview
The FN
P90 is a Belgian bullpup personal defense weapon (PDW) that is fed by a
unique horizontal magazine that holds 50 rounds of 5.7×28mm. It has good accuracy, stable handling and low recoil
even with continuous fire. Although its damage is relatively low, it is
compensated with its generous 50 rounds and it has an excellent rate of fire,
making it suitable for engaging multiple targets at close ranges.
The
bullet spread has been decreased in Global Offensive, but it
is heavier and inflicts lower damage to armored opponents than in older games,
despite the P90's original intention to pierce through body armor.
The
P90 is very popular among players who have insufficient funds to buy superior
weapons. Its high magazine size allows this SMG to be used for spraying
bullets. It is also the main weapon for bots who have the weapon preference of
wielding submachine guns.
In
earlier games, when used with the Five-SeveN as the sidearm, any shots fired consumes the ammo of both guns, as
they both fire the 5.7x28mm cartridge. In-game, they
share a pool of 100 rounds as a result. This was later changed in Global
Offensive in an update. As of now the primary and secondary weapons don't
share ammunition even if the caliber are the same.
