Kinda like the “Glock 7”
CSI misrepresents the FN P90. Though they are right sort of. You cannot get one type of ammo for it in the US.

I can’t fathom why the whole idea of a pistol round that can shoot through body armor is even remotely scary. As if getting shot at, let alone hit, with ANY caliber isn’t scary. I’ve got a .221 Fireball that I shot through a piece of 1″ bullet proof glass at 7 yards with. We were shooting this thing to see if 1980’s Swedish surplus “armor piercing” 9mm would go through. It didn’t. We shot it with every other caliber in our inventory (did I mention I was doing this for a gun company?) and I just happened to have my .221 Fireball Contender in the car. 10″ barrel, 40grn Soft Point, straight through it. .44 magnum did, too. No other conventional caliber did, including 5.7×28 (with commercial ammo). The .221 Fireball has only been around since, what? 1963? .44 Magnum since 1955. That’s back when you could buy guns and steel-cored ammo through the mail without a background check, and it has never been a problem. I can’t fathom how a less powerful caliber suddenly worries these people.

Odd, never saw one cut a Jaffa or Goa’uld in half. Air Force must get the crappy ones.

I saw an NCIS episode a while back that claimed frangible ammo required a special gun. And that they could ID the gun from the fragmented rounds that were in the corpse(s)-of-the-week.
I facepalmed.

“You cannot get one type of ammo for it in the US.”
Bet the ATF would sell it to the Mexicans though… and then claim it was bought at gun shows!

I thought FN didn’t sell the armor piercing variant in US?

FN just doesn’t sell the AP ammo to civilians in the US, as per federal regs.
