*Shrug*  As someone else has already mentioned, the P90 round sits
between 
pistol and rifle in it's characteristics.  Besides, you're brining up
real 
life.  The P-90 in SG-1 is a Hollywood weapon, so if one wants to
capture the 
feel of the series, one must imitate the creative license that's taken
with 
reality.

Basically, don't confuse me/him/them/us with the facts... after all, we
have a 
TV show for reference materials!
