from what i understand, due to a shortage of P-90 ammunition(or what's used in them) becaue of the military action in iraq (the munitons plants were so busy making real bullets that they could not manufacture the blanks needed by teh show) the props guys came up with this to temporarily replace sam's p-90 so that she could fire it without using up the precious bullets

According to the following interview a lack of P90 blanks led to the creation of the "Carter Special":

"Tapping says that because of the war in Iraq, it became harder to get P90 shells to convert into blanks, so Anderson's character kept his P90, while Tapping's got a new gun."

With fans like us people will notice it anyways. The reason that they didn't make much of a mention of the P90 was because it was a standard weapon that is used around the world, nothing special, you know excluding that it is the best weapon ever made, I mean that it was already known around the world. With the Carter Special it was a weapon that was custom made and is not used anywhere around the world.

The barrel on that thing however looks to be very much shorter than 11.5in. It looks more like a barrel from a Bushmaster Carbon 15 pistol.
Question, Owen. What do you mean by standard?

Why it's a "magazine" and not a "clip".
