What a kick!

I just got back from the local firing range. One of my friends heard about a local FN rep bringing some new toys to the shop. We went and happily disposed of 80 5.7x28mm rounds via a Five-seveN USG FN pistol, and a PS90 (commercial version of the P90, the same gun they use in Stargate). I gotta tell you, that was fun. I walked away with a re-kindled passion for handguns.

The PS90 carbine was very cool, it has a unique ammo clip, which we had to ask the manufacture how to load the first time. Once we got that down, it took just a few minutes to load the clip with a full 50 rounds. I got to fire off roughly 20 rounds, and it was a lot of fun, but I'm more of a handgun guy, rifles(carbines) seem just to big for me.

The Five-seveN USG was a blast (pun intended)! It was moderately loud, with average flash, and although our test model shot a little low, it was quite accurate. I ended up shooting off about 80 rounds with it, and it felt good the whole time. If I were to actually buy a handgun, I'd put this one as a top choice.

I did end up spending more than I should have, with $20 per box of 50 rounds, and the $150 membership fee at the range, I spent well over $200 today for the priveledge of shooting some very unique and fun weapons. Would I do it again? oh heck yeah!
