Can You Own a P90?
The FNH FN P90, affectionately known as the P90, is a belt-fed, gas-operated carbine designed and developed by Fabrique Nationale Herstal (FNHerstal) in Belgium. The P90 gained popularity in the law enforcement and military sectors in the 1990s, and its sleek and modern design has since fascinated shooters and collectors around the world. But the burning question remains: can you, as a civilian or legal gun owner, acquire this innovative firearm?
International Status
Before we delve into the specifics, let’s start with the legal background. The P90 falls under the category of Assault Weapon, which has implications for its availability. For clarification, the N.R.A. defines Assault Rifles as:
".. designed and intended to exploit the psychological effect of fired simultaneously from the hip to inflict maximum panic terror.."
The P90 has a unique magazine-based belt feed system and automatic weapon capabilities, measured by the firing frequency at which the operator engages or disengages semi-selective fire and /or adjustable rate of fire adjustment at the rate of speed desired. Some say the P90 might match some of these definitions but would not be explicitly targeted towards the same intentions and results.
Licensing
In the United States:
- FN offers Civilian-Commercial Options
- Limited-edition, semi-automatic Only Versions (SAV 11.5in.mil-spec barrel), licensed
- Existed legally for civilian consumption post-American Civil War ban era 1994–April2013
- But Federal Law prohibits any weapons fully automatic or have magazine loaded with more than Seven (.223 caliber). Hence this is not what happens: Fully Auto Firearms – Prohibited and Accessories Forbidden
| What Restrictions Come into Play? | Feature | Restrictions | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fully Automatic | Fully Prohibited | The P90 has Auto weapon capabilities, restricted | |
| Semi-selective fire | Controlled | Some nations maintain restrictive laws on assault Weapon or semi-selective rifles use. |
Here the key legal constraint – the 1938 NRA (National Firearms) Association. Laws around legal gun ownership evolve & updates. The ban applies 1994 Federal legislation bans semi-automatic civilian-market products with a military-pattern AR-15 23 .
How Could Restrictions Impact Ownership? The P90 ownership possibilities narrow down due to government measures. In particular situations restrictions on ownership in law:

In-Significance of Ownership, History-Related
Ownership significance could be the only or specific reason for it since then. From ownership there is no such an exclusive right because FN allows the production in quantity due to the current limitations at the time they set such restrictions. Also if owning a P90 with that kind of uniqueness isn’t a reason itself!
