F&N PS90
I am considering a new Range Toy and would like to know if anyone is Shooting a PS90? I know about ammo prices, but wondering about day to day use? Anything to be aware of? I have not played with this platform so I would appreciate any experience anyone has to offer

I can't talk about cleaning or general day to day living with it. But I shot it once, it has a learning curve, not one that cant be overcome but its there. I put 2 magazines worth of ammo through it, 200 rds, along with 20 other people in the same day, and it never malfunctioned once (4000+ rds in a day with no cleaning).

It was fun to shoot, but I think that had more to do with the unique design than anything else. The clear plastic magazine which is out of the way and wont be broken gives you a good indication of how much you have left. Its comfortable to hold, smaller than it feels, but it takes a little more effort to aim. After the first 50 or so rds I shot I pretty much had it. But after each break in shooting I had to deal with a small learning curve to remember that I wasnt shooting an AR.

Richt a review of that bad boy will you? I have built dedicated 22s on the Plumcrazy units and have a buddy running a 223 on a Plumcrazy. I don't know the NF product at all

Ok so I asked abut the PS90 earlier and recently took the leap excuse my limited photography skills

and one with an AR Carbine just for scale.

I know kind of Star Gate SG1 but 50 round in this light of a package is a lot of fun!

Not to mention the shorter length - pretty cool. May I ask what those run?

they are running just around 1600 retail (good searching will find them for less) and FN has a deal where through some dealers if you are Active Law enforcement (I am not) you can grab them for 899. A couple things to to be aware of , ammo is pricey and accessories limited. That said this thing is a hoot!

Dude... if it's good enough to take on the Goa'uld, it's good enough for me.
I have to admit, I've been a little curious about how those 5.7's shoot and I've seen lots of spent rounds at the range, but I've never been fortunate enough to be there when someone has one.
