P90 for British enginner?

Noetheinner · Post by **Noetheinner** » 2006-01-31 07:17

I was reading about the PS90 in the new shotgun news mag, and it kinda gave a history of the P90. It's used by truck "support personnel" as a defensive weapon. Possibilities? mabye? It's dang accuate to about 100 yds, not sure about further, but apparently target aquisition is super quick at close range. And the sights are kinda hard to use farther out, as they are made for CQB I guess.

Again, all this is just from reading an article in shotgun news.

5.7mm is .224 inch. Same a 5.56mm.
So why does the 5.56 use a .224 bullet? Because 5.56mm refers to the land diameter of about .2188 inches instead of the groove daimeter of .224.

Just one of the many quirks in firearms nomenclature.
7.62 uses a .308 in /7.82mm bullet.
.44 magnum uses .429 bullets.
.380 uses .355 bullet
.38 special uses .357.

Basically you can name it whatever you want or by whatever measurement you want when you design a new cartridge.

nice so you cold have a .22 and call it a 50 cal?

speaking of .22, have they ever made a automatic weapon with a .22 caliber? Those things shoot like air rifles xD

i got trained for it, never shot it though. I shot the L85 (SA80) instead

By the way, you guys dont need to model the P90, since it's being released in the "European" mod for bf2. So is the Eurofighter. But feel free to remodel if they suck, which they usually do.

You dont need to get the expansion the P90 and L96 are Tier 2 unlocks, if you have SF you can unlock them there part of the patch NOT the expansion,

Stu007 · Post by **Stu007** » 2006-02-01 18:05

pretty cheap, but not convinced

So many great mods are going to be around ( and PR as teh best one of course

) so there is no need to give EA more cash ;]

PR and POE2 ALONE are going to include every single new piece of equipment that the booster packs will have and guess what both PR and POE's models are 10 times better than the **** EA are gonna charge for. there challenger 2 looks like **** compared to the one thatll be in PR.
