See FN P90 for a technical description of this firearm.

Like the Uzi and the Desert Eagle and unlike most firearms, the P90 has an iconic role in pop culture. It appears frequently in fiction, video games, and sci-fi, due to its unique, almost ultra-modern appearance. In movies and television, the P90 often appears in the hands of guards and soldiers in near-future settings; for example, the weapon has appeared as the standard firearm in the TV series Battlestar Galactica and in the hands of police officers in the films I, Robot and X-Men 2. It also appears in a present day setting in the television series Stargate SG-1, as SG-1's standard firearm from season four, and the standard firearm of Stargate Atlantis teams, in its respective series. In video games, its distinct silhouette and unusual appearance contribute to its popularity — it has appeared in games ranging from Counter-Strike to GoldenEye 007.

FN P90 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1562 words)
The P90 is a submachine gun developed and manufactured by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FN Herstal).
The P90 is built in a unique bullpup configuration that places the 50-round translucent magazine above the weapon, parallel to the barrel.
As there have been few combat firings of the P90, its true effect is yet undetermined, and many special forces such as the SAS and the U.S. Navy SEALs still prefer using traditional weapon systems.
