Do these other guns have 15 roounds per second fire rate? Are these other guns small, compact, light with a large ammo storage (ALL or nothing in this case)? I don't really think so. That's why the P90 is used, it also has very decent muzzle velocity.Last edited by Zatnikitelman; 24 August 2006, 08:25 PM.When the time comes to utilize Earth's best weaponry against an ailen threat.

Don't get so hung up on individual weapons.

The P90 isn't suitable for most military situations. It is a Personel Defense Weapon meant to be issued to vehicle crews and NonComs just in case they have to shoot someone.
It is, however, very suitable for a television show. It is light, easy to carry, holds 1.76 times as many bullets, and it ejects downward. This last feature is the most important to the actors. Having getting hot brass caught in your shirt (or you pants) is not pleasent at all. Really, nothing ruins a day more than a cylindrical burn scar where the sun does not shine.
Really, they should be carrying a carbine rifle rather than a submachine gun. Considering that they often fight wilderness and in urban terain it is a good compromise between power, accuracy, range, and length.
The FN2000 is a pretty nice bullpup design for this purpose It even has a grenade launcher for that extra oomph. The AK-74U is also a very good choice. With the stock folded it is actually shorter then the P90 and it can mount a grenade launcher. It is a Russian weapon but that really doesn't matter. The P90 is Belgian. Of course, neither isn't as good for the actors as the P90.Last edited by hyzmarca; 25 August 2006, 04:18 PM.

On TV, the P90 is great. Cool looking and easy for the actors to weild. But I do hope that the FN SCAR appears in Stargate, once it has gone into general use by the real US special forces. Maybe in season 5 of Atlantis?
The SCAR is still going forward, right? Or has it been cancelled, like the XM-29 and the XM-8?
a time to mourn

Well, they do seem to be using other machine guns in Stargate, its just that SG-1 and Sheppard's team on SGA (do they have a name yet?) seem to use P90s. Usually when you see other SG teams being used for military backup, they use some bigger guns. I think the combination of versatility, and ease of use of the P90 is why SG-1 uses it. I mean, they're not a military force, they're supposed to be explorers, anything more than personal defense weapons might be too aggressive.
