The thing about the P90 and the SG teams is that SG-1 (and others) where a diplomatic/exploration team. They needed a defensive weapon that didnt look scary enough to cause problems with negotiations. The SG teams that were combat oriented carried ARs and SAWs.

[@brucea3103]

The only issue I had about the P90 with Stargate teams was that they also carried a Baretta 9mm as a sidearm. Why would you use that when FN makes the Five Seven which uses the same ammo as the P90? If I was stuck on some hostile, alien world, I would want all my ammo to sync up. That could of also been a story point where someone runs out on one platform, then cannibalizes ammo out of the other to get out of a tight sport. Kawalsky: "Colonel. We are out of ammo on the P90's." Carter: "We have a box of sidearm magazines in the Tel'tak. Transfer the ammunition into the P90 magazines."

[@tburrows357]

⁠@@brucea3103 like someone else mentioned the other teams that were less diplomatic carried MG, Rifles, and other heavy weapons. Plus side arms. The standard issue beretta 9mm would just have been economically easier. Especially as an issued sidearms to each member. Most using it and familiar with it for years. Also when they started the series in SG they used MP 5’s so it made sense then too.

[@ironhead2008]

@@brucea3103 The SG teams originally packed MP-5s in 9x19. The P90 was brought in when SG-1 encountered the Unas (tough as deer jerky reptilians that shrugged off 9mm) and never really left (because the producers loved how futuristic the P90 looked). Sticking with the Beretta is not surprising from that perspective.

[@Riceball01]

@@brucea3103 If you compeltely ran out of ammo for your primary weapon in the middle of a firefight, it's going to be much faster and easier to simply let you primary weapon drop and then draw your sidearm. If you're in the middle of a firefight you're not going to have time to empty a few pistol magazines and then take the loose rounds and fill up the mages for your primary weapon; you'd be dead before you could reload a single magazine.

[@JimmySailor]

The MP5’s were dumping hot brass on the actors so the switched to the bottom ejecting P90s. The early seasons also have a truely 1980’s level of gunfire which is really missing in just about every show these days. Now shows use CGI and weird editing.

[@BuffRANGE]

The Gold Dot isn’t rated for the P90/PS90 because of the bullet profile. Without the feed ramp, magazine presentation of the bullet needs to be on point. There’s no collet crimp on a vast majority of 5.7 large scale commercial ammo and so those stubby bullets are more prone to failure to feed. All US large scale commercial ammo is loaded by Fiocchi USA using FN brass. Exclusions to include AAC (self made brass), Hornady (self made?) and Vanguard Outfitters (self made). So Speer GD is loaded by Fiocchi using the coated brass. The newest Critical Defense 5.7 has the same warning because of it's stubby profile. Other experts have mentioned the case lube is also needed for extraction as well since it lacks a taper.

[@WayStedYou]

I think the 40 grain vmax from the 5.7 is also a different projectile since they don't list the B.C that the regular 40 grain vmax has in .224 on the site for that ammo.

[@johndaugherty4127]

Nice bumping into you here. Thanks for the expertise.

[@BuffRANGE]

@@WayStedYou The 5.7 40gr vmax is likely identical to the 40gr vmax offerings. There's nothing special about the bullet

[@WayStedYou]

Strange they don't list the B.C at .200 like all the other rounds that use it if it's the same projectile then. You say they would need to change gold dot for feeding, so why not the vmax? It could just be hornady being lazy and not giving the information they already have on their product pages though.

[@knightofavalon86]

17:05 the real world reason is that the show did use the MP5 in the early seasons and switched to the P90 in season four. The P90 ejected straight down and it made blocking easier. They didn’t have to worry about where actors stood to not take brass in the face, and with the bonus that It looks cool. The fictional reason was that the P90 was armor piercing. While Jaffa space armor and 80s Russian Soft armor aren’t very similar lol, it was cool to see them give a plausible reason at all.

[@MandoWookie]

It actually makes a slight degree of sense, Jaffa armor seems largely to be just metal plates, which velocity beats. Using 9mm AP works too, but likely has overpen issues, plus wear. Seeing as how Jaffa have a healing factor, but killing their symbiote will pretty much kill them, a bunch of torso shots that can reliably punch through in volume is likely the best way to insure a symbiote hit & consistent kill.Also, how they had the MP5s set up in early seasons must have been heavy. Also notice that Jackson doesn't really start using a gun until after the p90 is introduced. Which fits with its designed role as a PDW, simple manual of arms and low recoil. Or he just got tired of dying & got his shit together.

[@WayStedYou]

@@MandoWookie .355 and slow vs .224 and fast 5.7 is basically perfect for pierecing a thick armour plate

[@knightofavalon86]

@@MandoWookieall true. I think Daniel starting to carry and use a P90 is a great intersection of his character development and the gear. A P90 is a great gun for someone with less training, and Daniel’s obvious competence with it shows his development from a naive scientist into a more pragmatic and dangerous person.

[@Angel9932]

@@knightofavalon86 Prior to that they did show Daniel equipped with a M9 sidearm. As to how effective he was with it is up to debate. He was certainly more effective with the P90, however. Any shortcomings he had using a pistol may be forgiven given his lack of military training plus it not being his primary job.

[@miltechmoto]

The best reason is logistics. They're traveling via Stargate on foot. They can only carry and take so much ammo. And 5.7 ammo is light. P90 is compact and carries plenty of ammo. 9mm is a heavier round with far less capacity in the mp5. The armor piercing stuff is a big plus. But the range of 5.7 is much better as well.

[@ironicallysimple645]

So you are correct in that they did use real P90's within SG SG-1 TV show. I remember watching a interview with the pyro/ firearms coordinator (i think) for the show. I remember him saying something along the lines of 'him showing up with a big case of 8 real P90's at a Directors meeting and saying these are the guns we need to use'. They had to train the cast on the guns after the first couple episodes got filmed, this is why there is a watch in weapons after the first few episodes. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the weapons would be real in early seasons of SG-1, this was filed in the 1990's are SG-1 was supported by the US Air Force, hence the reason they was able to fil on real Air Force Locations, etc....

[@MandoWookie]

It was mostly filmed in Canada though. Those P90s(and sets, props, actors, etc) keep showing up to this day in various productions since. A lot of the alien weapons & props were themselves reused props from older productions(especially in Atlantis, most of the Genaii, & other generic weapons props were repainted guns from Timecop & Blade 3).

[@psp1921tsmg]

Had a buddy who was in show business aka armorer in Toronto he worked on Stargate the first season before they moved it to British Columbia. The producers wanted something more futuristic than an MP fives and in Canada it was easy to get.p90s for the movie industry because of the laws in Canada. Small note they had to open up the plastic in the stock to allow the blanks when they were fired to eject because they were longer than the standard case Also as a small note if you’re a Stargate SG1 fan, he worked on the episode with the Ritu and did the part where “mom” blows up

It also had one of the first laser sights on it and once a prisoner didn't want to get into his cell and was trying to insight a riot when they aimed just the laser sight at his chest. He looked at the red dot over his heart and he broke new records getting into his cell and was a good boy for quite awhile. (friend was a guard at the prison and told me these stories first hand.)

The selector has a semi only position, so if someone needed that single round only, that's the better option by far.

[@808INFantry11X]

I have served with RECCE teams both in the regular army and special operations and RECCE teams have the standard armament if its convetional scouts they have M4A1s a few with either M203 or M320 grenade launchers you would have snipers that scouta accompany they would have their sniper rifles either the M2010 or M110 maybe thier own M4 if viable. On the special operations side they have slightly different equipment but generally speaking they would have some version of the M4A1 Green berets have the URGI the Rangers at the time would be using block 2 M4A1 while Delta and DEVGRU would use HK416. So really SG1 using P90 look good for ficition but in reality they wouldnt be armed that way because most situations they would be outgunned. During GWOT which happened during this time RECCE teams really empahsized better armaments for Recon missions due to them going out alone for extented periods. Especially US Army special forces used M4A1 on all types of missions because it meats almost any type of situation you may come across it can do short and linge ranges doable enough not fancy but effective and thats what you need it efective and not too mention 5.56 is going to be much more available then 5.7.

Side note: The keltec P50 and R50 and very cool funky guns that use P90 magazines that are every affordable and fun to shoot.

Up next, 800 yard run with the staff weapon... ;)

[@richardscott1075]

I’m so glad you finally made this video. I don’t care how silly, still super fun to watch!

[@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz]

I guarentee that if we could buy new MGs people wouldnt poopoo the P90 hardly at all. The lack of a fun switch, and the SBR hassle, is in my opinion the primary reasons people overlook it.

[@Malikyte13]

That's most of it yeah. Ammo cost is another issue, but if more people wanted the P90 the ammo price would likely decrease a bit too. As it stands there's just not that much of a market for it.

[@gameragodzilla]

SBR laws frankly hurt it more than even the lack of a fun switch, since the purpose of the P90 is to be very compact as a PDW. Would make for a neat briefcase gun if there wasn’t any NFA bullshit. Can’t even skirt around it with a pistol brace due to how it’s designed. The stock is the receiver.

[@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz]

@@gameragodzilla fun fact, the stock isnt actually the receiver. The receiver is effectively the barrel assembly. Someone was trying to develop a pistol-brace for it, but I'm not sure how its been coming along. It could be done, physically, but whether it would actually be viable is a different issue. A pistol-braced bullpup would be a hard sell ergonomically.

[@thefinancier12]

I gotta say, I always enjoy the 1920s style intros to the discussion.

[@misfit492]

Recognizing the Goa'uld threat who wear armor, AP makes sense for the P90 usage by the SG program

[@ScottWoodruff-wh3ft]

I love my ps90. Keep up the p90 content, I never get tired of it.

[@ColeDedhand]

Before I watch, I wouldn't want to be Josh on this one. Spotting those impacts at 300+ with a bullet that won't even wiggle the target gonna be tough.

[@JiTiAr35]

Congrats for the 500K subs.

[@titaniummechanism3214]

One of the few occasions where the longer barreled PS90 might actually be preferable.

[@Rick_Makes]

I was thinking that too. It would be interesting to see a follow up with the PS90 to see if that barrel length makes any difference.

[@michal1743]

With all the characteristics you mention this sounds like great home defense weapon, given handling, accuracy, reliability etc. And often people suggest rather AR or pistols

[@Vykk_Draygo]

I like the idea of PDWs or PCCs in home defense scenarios. But in reality, a pistol is probably sufficient.

That well placed advertisement had me rolling. Well done bois. We'll done

[@Ogre-zr5zk]

For the job it was designed for (ie. replace 9mm sidearms & sub-guns for self defense of/by support and vehicle crews) it's a big improvement. it's not a replacement for 5.56 & 7.62 long guns or carbines for 'Infantry'.

[@gameragodzilla]

Yeah, it’s the modern equivalent to the M1 Carbine. Ironically, it went through a lot of the same circumstances as the M1 Carbine, including being used by certain speciality frontline troops who liked how handy it was beyond the personal defense role, to also complaints about lack of effectiveness of the cartridge when pushed beyond its design limitations (like the myth that .30 Carbine bounces off Chinese winter coats in the Korean War when in reality, troops were just trying to shoot the M1 and M2 Carbines way too far away and missing).

[@Amac1825]

More impressed by the spotter scope and hit calls at that range.

I believe the lore from inside the show was they needed the better armor piercing effect against the jaff'a they were facing.

I'm surprised I can see where the rounds go, from the shockwave trail in the camera view. At 5:54, he hit top left, on a mark that was already present on the target. As a Stargate Fan, I've always loved the P90.

You should not slap the magazine in. Trust me from experience. You can effect the mag reliability. Great video thanks. The PS90 would do better since it has a longer barrel.

[@BullsMahunny]

At least I know I got an all right purchase lol. Up to 250 it's a banger. But in regards to Stargate, believe it or not it had nothing to do with what the characters might want. The reason they switched from the MP5 to the P90 is 2 fold. One, aesthetics. It looks futuristic. It looks like something they would use in Stargate but the head still didn't bite. He wanted the MP5, everyone knew what an MP5 was. Not so much the P90. What swayed them to use it was when the person in charge of the weapons brought to his attention that the P90 ejected it's cases downward out of the back. What this meant was that the camera crews could get some wicked close in action shots of the fight sequences without the spent cases being thrown into the camera. Naturally they explained in story why they made the choice but in real life it simply boiled down to being able to get better cinema.

[@womble321]

She not only used a real P90 she trained with it for real and kept it after the show!

[@bitfreakazoid]

That doesn't sound true. You can't just keep a full-auto, especially one made after 1986.
