Which is probably why the show uses it, because it looks cool.

And in any event, I was just quoting Col MacGyver, not expressing
my own personal opinion.  Though, compared to Staff weapons in 
CQB, the P90 IS a weapon of war.  Besides, it makes sense from a 
weight perspective.  The P90 weighs a pound lighter fully loaded 
with 20 extra rounds, and is smaller, which, if you're on an 
exploration team, is probably more critical than sheer firepower.  
(Firepower is what the SGC Marine assault teams are for.  (8-) )  
Besides, I thought the smaller round actually penetrated armour 
better -- at least, from the open sources I've seen.
