Yes I'm fairly young. No, that doesn't mean I'm automatically dumber than you or have less life experience, thats just generally the case. I am not your general case.

The rebels have been seen carrying P90-S bullpup SpecOps Rifles.
interesting point as these are a pretty high end rifle from Belgium
P90s a 5.7mm SMG.Actually the P-90 is a bullpup personal defence rifle. It falls into the SMG category due to it's high rate of fire(900 rounds/min)
It has a 10.4 inch barrel and is fired from the shoulder making it a rifle.
Bullpup refers to the fact that it's action (read bolt) is housed in the stock of the rifle to allow for greater barrel length and accuracy in a more compact weapon system.
It was designed by FN international as a special forces weapon for NATO and uses a 5.7x28 round which is standard across many custom sspecial forces weapons
The 'S' variant has a permanently attached silencer with a slightly longer barrel, and was developed specifically for Canadian special forces, as opposed to the PS-90 which is an optional silencer variant that maintains the 10.4 inch barrel
I know my stuff about my rifles :)
I already know that but its manufactured and advertised as an SMG due to the fact it fires the 5.7x28mm pistol round developed for the FiveseveN (weird name, I know).
Officially to be classified a rifle, it must be firing a rifle class round, i.e. .223, 30.06, 7.62x51mm NATO, etc, etc, while
a Sub-Machine Gun (SMG) is any automatic carbine that fires pistol rounds.
The P90 is manufactured by FN Herstal, a Belgium based weapons company that also developed the SCAR-H battle rifle and F2000 bullpup assault weapon.
The P90 has a Rate Of Fire (ROF) of 900 rounds per minute and a maximum range of 1800 meters, with a maximum effective range of 200 meters.
Its 5.7 mike mike rounds can peirce level three kevlar vests at 200 meters and uses a closed bolt, straight blowback action.
The weapon is supposed to combine the small size of Personal Defence Weapons (PDWs) with power of a 5.56mm comabt rifle.
It uses a tritium illuminated reflex sight, with backup/optional iron sights, and is loaded with a fifty round box magazine.
I know my guns too Actually the 5.7x28mm round was developed by FN international for NATO as a replacement for 9mm SMG and light arms ammunition as it was capable of penetrating Kevlar. The first weapon to use it was the P-90.
The Five-seveN is named such due to the type of ammo it uses(5.7x28mm) and capitalizes the F and N to signify the manufacturer (FN international)
The P-90(named such as a shortening of 'project 1990' the year it was made in) is not marketed as an SMG but as a Personal Defence Weapon
A PDW is an SMG. Marketing names be damned. A PDW is defined as "a small, compact, easy to use automatic weapon firing pistol caliber rounds."
Sounds like an SMG to me
And I forgot about the P90 coming first, I'll admit to that
