A real Belgian submachine gun, compact and easy to recognize. It becomes the standard weapon of the SG teams, then of Atlantis's soldiers.
Overview
Early in SG-1 the teams carry MP5s. The P90, with its magazine lying on top, takes over and never leaves the screen again.
Worth knowing
Against the Wraith, bullets are not always enough: Ronon and his blaster often do better. But for fans, the P90's outline is the very shape of Stargate.
