P90's are out dated and should be replaced!

I agree that FN P90 should be replaced, but not because it's out dated on show.

The fact is, most of military contigent of the Atlantis Expedition is organized members of the U.S. Marine Corps.

In Stargate SG-1, marine team members in Stargate Command (such as SG-3 & SG-12) usually equip heavy fire power weapons more than other teams. Of course, Atlantis's 'own-type' marine combat team members (marines who wear night urban-version MARPAT) equip M4 carbines & M249s.....but not as much as SG-3 or SG-12 in Stargate Command.

Marine units in Stargate Command are tasked for protecting other team members or high-level combat zone so that's why they are equiped with heavy firepower weapons, but I wish maybe it's good if same regulations would be put on marines in the Atlantis Expedition.

So as representing marines, I think at least off-world teams (most of them are marines...some are from the Air Force like Sheppard & Lorne) need to equip guns with heavier fire power than P90.

My suggestion;

Common teams (gray-color uniform) :
Team leader - Mk.18 Mod.0 CQBR or HK416 12inch version (G36K also would be okay)
Other members - HK416 (+AG36 for one member)

Marine combat teams (night urban-version MARPAT uniform) :
Team leader/common members - M4A1+M203A1 or HK416(G36K)+AG36 or Mk.16 SCAR-L+Mk.13 EGLM
One member - M249
One menber - M60E3 or Mk.48 Mod.0
One menber - SAM-R or HK416 20inch version as marksman
(Just like SG-3/12 in Stargate SG-1)

Atlantis base security guards....well it's okay that they are keep using P90s.

that seems like a good combo but I think that the guys should have MK16s instead of HK416s because in a test the MK16 Jammed less that the HK416

hmmm, P90's are getting a bit old , but its suits the teams great, they are the right size and look cool
