A 9mm round is still a big bullet, whether or not the gun it is typically fired from is powerful.Starnerf said:A 9mm round is not that strong. It's the standard for most handguns. Rifle cartridges have significantly more powder behind the bullet, so their muzzle velocities are much higher than pistol bullets.theCMNDER said:I know its already been addressed that the P90 doesn't fire 9mm rounds, but lol, 9mm would be huge rounds with awesome stopping power. ^^scarbunny said:The only problem you have there is it only uses a 9mm round and so lacks any really stopping power, it does however make up for it with a high rate of fire. The other issue comes from the clip design if you drop or knock the weapon with a half empty clip the bullets get all jiggeled around and you risk a high chance of a jam.Donbett1974 said:Yep this is my choice too. Its also can be use for short range sniping.xxcloud417xx said:P90. it's compact, packs alot of ammo and looks good silenced and sneaky.

My personal choice for a PDW while I was in the RAF was the MP7,small accurate and powerful.
It fires 5.56mm rounds, typically a sniper rifle fires 7.62mm, so you see the 9mm is rather large. 9mm is often used in powerful handguns.
I think my choice of the AA-12 is still the sexiest (or should I say most deadly) hand-held gun. But this is the sexiest and most deadly (looking atleast) large weapon I have seen.Zephirius said:You asked for sexiest gun, not handgun. Therefore I present to you:

I know what you're thinking: 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' But to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?
For that, this beats all.
Well, since I'm not aware of any 9mm rifle rounds, I assumed you were referring to the 9x19 luger parabellum round. If you were comparing a 9mm cartridge designed similarly to the 5.56 NATO round, then yes, the 9mm would probably be stronger in that instance. I did not mean to imply that if the 9mm round was simply a scaled-up 5.56 that the 5.56 would still be stronger.theCMNDER said:A 9mm round is still a big bullet, whether or not the gun it is typically fired from is powerful.
The only relation I made to power is that the P90 with 9mm rounds would have large stopping power, which it would compared to a P90 firing 5.56mm rounds (not that a P90 can in fact fire 9mm rounds).
What you have implied is that a 9mm round is not as strong as a 5.56mm round. Which is wrong. You are correct that a handgun with a 9mm round will be weaker than a rifle with a 5.56mm round, but that is because the rifle is more powerful than the handgun, not because the 5.56mm round is more powerful than the 9mm round.

I was thinking along the lines of a scaled up version of the round used in the P90 as the original post refered to the P90 firing a 9mm round. And I shouldn't have said 5.56mm at any point anyway seeing as it's actually a 5.7mm round that is used in the P90, which isn't really a standard round size so it slipped my mind. xDStarnerf said:Well, since I'm not aware of any 9mm rifle rounds, I assumed you were referring to the 9x19 luger parabellum round.

But a P90 could be firing BBs at you and still have decent stopping power.
Seconded, though this might just be my inner SG-1 fan talking.xxcloud417xx said:P90. it's compact, packs alot of ammo and looks good silenced and sneaky.

Thanks! BTW, which version is that? Don't think I've seen that particular model....Starnerf said:Yog Sothoth said:I have to go with the FAMAS G2 Commando, or another G2 variant...... I never thought I'd love a French firearm, but here we are....

Heh, ok.... thanks anyways!
