the 90 in FN P90 is to do with "project '90" which was back in 1990 when a new small arms project was to be made. It was to make a select fire weapon that can pierce all known body armour and was to be issued to non-military personell and for special forces missions. The guns put into this project was FN Herstal Five seveN and the FN P90, heckler & Koch entered their new MP-7 for project '90 as well. To this moment the military has not yet decided which of the 3 guns to issue. So the M9 is still the standard.
btw, Pandora tomorow does look amazing, and with multiplayer co-op via xbox live too!
