The PS90 had a longer barrel assembly, which added to the firearm’s overall length, and with the sunsetting of the Assault Weapon Ban, allowed use of the original 50-round magazine. This was quickly followed by a civilian semiautomatic only version of the P90 known as the PS90. However, by 2004, ammunition was available without the steel penetrator tip, and the pistol was available to civilian shooters in the United States. Mostly, this had to do with the nature of the ammunition being armor piercing. Initially, the pistol was restricted to law enforcement and military sales only.

Standard magazine capacity is 20 rounds, but restricted capacity 10-round magazines and extended length 30-round magazines are available. This is a polymer-framed, delayed blowback striker-fired pistol. In 1998, FN revealed a pistol chambered in 5.7x28mm called the Five seveN. Had that been the only firearm offered in 5.7mm, the round may have died on the vine. The federal 1994 Assault Weapon Ban had us by the throat, and anything that looked like and had the characteristics of the P90 was banned from importation and sale. By the time the P90 made its way into firearm books and magazines, the design was more than a few years old, and Americans were in the black years of gun ownership. If you think this was a radical design today, imagine how it appeared 30 years ago. The initial firearm chambered in 5.7 was the FN P90. NATO liked it so much, in fact, that in February of 2021, they officially recognized and adopted the FN 5.7x28mm as a NATO standard. NATO has tested the SS190 round fired through the P90 as capable of penetrating NATO Crisat armor (Level IIIA) at 200 yards. The Canadian RCMP famously fired the rounds through a P90, and the rounds penetrated more than 10 inches of ballistic gelatin after penetrating Level II body armor. The 31-grain SS190, in particular, has excelled at penetration tests across the board. Although the lightweight bullet tends to lose velocity quickly at great distance, the round is perfect for its applications within 200 yards. The Division of Fish and Wildlife resumed its efforts to track and tranquilize the deer last week, with slightly cooler morning and evening temperatures that would put the doe at reduced risk of stress.One of the latest new designs, the Kel-Tec P50 is chambered in 5.7 and even eats from FN P90 magazines.įrom the 10-inch barrel of a FN P90, the shooter can expect a muzzle velocity of 2,350 fps. Tranquilizing wildlife under any conditions can pose a serious risk to any animal. At one point over the winter, biologists were able to hit the doe with a tranquilizing dart, but it fell out with no effect. “Tracking the whereabouts of any single animal is difficult under any circumstances, and this doe was no exception.”ĭespite the arrow protruding from its muzzle, the doe had shown no signs of stress or weight loss and successfully gave birth to a fawn. “We thank all of the New Jersey residents and people from all over the world who have expressed concern about the deer, as well as local residents who have been very helpful in providing information on her movements throughout the community and even set up bait stations on their properties,” said Division of Fish and Wildlife Director David Chanda. Those efforts were put on hold in May because the doe had become pregnant and there was a risk of harming the unborn fawn. It’s not clear exactly how long the arrow had been lodged in the deer’s muzzle, but the Division of Fish and Wildlife was notified last December and made numerous attempts to tranquilize it over the winter. The doe, estimated to be at least three to four years old, appeared in good health and of normal weight and was released back into the wild with her fawn. Removal of the shaft will alleviate the risk of the deer becoming snagged on branches or other protruding objects, potentially causing the wound to open or any further internal damage. The wound had healed around the arrowhead and trying to remove it could cause further injury, the veterinarian, an experienced wildlife rehabilitator, determined. The wildlife experts snipped off the shaft but, upon the recommendation of a veterinarian on scene, left the arrowhead in place. The wildlife experts, Kim Tinnes, Joseph Burke, and George Garbaravage, were able to attract the deer using corn placed at a private property off Suffolk Way in Marlboro. (15/P72) TRENTON – Wildlife experts with the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife this morning successfully removed an arrow that has been protruding from the muzzle of a female deer that has been seen frequently in the Marlboro area since last winter.
