P90? WEAK??? You've gotta be kiddin me. Smgs have the most accurate hip firing accuracy of all the classes and P90 stand out of them all for the fact that it fires 925 rpm (same fire rate as M249 and M16's 3 round burst). The only weapon that can beat P90 in terms of rof in the smg category is Uzi (950rpm). And let me tell you why Uzi, although deals the same amount of damage as P90 per bullet and slightly higher rof, is actually weaker than P90:
1. P90 has 50 rounds of ammunition per clip compared to Uzi's 32 rounds. In combat, not all rounds fired will hit the target. Unless if you're leet enough to put the first 3 bullets right into the enemy's torso, P90 will stand out in prolong combat.
2. Here's a little recoil comparism between the 2 weapons (the higher the value, the higher the recoil, dum dum

[the negative value shows different direction]):
UziadsViewKickPitchMin = -50
adsViewKickPitchMax = 80
adsViewKickYawMin = 75
adsViewKickYawMax = -75
P90adsViewKickPitchMin = -30
adsViewKickPitchMax = 60
adsViewKickYawMin = 60
adsViewKickYawMax = -70
Obviously, as the number had shown, P90 have lower recoil compared to Uzi.
You might be wondering why I'm comparing P90 with Uzi when you're comparing P90 with RPD/AKs. That's because different category of weapons merit different playstyle. There's absolutely no way that you're gonna run n' gun with a LMG as effectively as a SMG and it's pretty unlikely that you'll gonna camp better with a SMG than a LMG. The reason why I'm comparing Uzi and P90 is because Uzi has the closest characteristic to P90 than other smgs (just for your information, I think Uzi is pretty balanced along with other smgs). Combat experience and in-game values have shown that the P90 is
slightly overpowered compared to other smgs.
Well, thats all my rant I have to type for today. I bet some of you guys will be like

. It's my semester break anyway, so I have all the time to post some junk like I always do.

What if I tell you that although the P90 has the blessing of low recoil, high rate of fire, and abundance of clips, it is NOTHING compared to a PRO who is able to KILL you FIRST with his/her RPD/AK (due to it's superior weapon damage) and HIS REFINED marksmanship?
I've experimented many times although the P90 is good for n00bs who has no experience in accuracy, it is NO MATCH to a player WHO CAN AIM with an RPD or an AK.
In other words, no matter how WEAK or POWERFUL a gun may be, if a player CAN'T SHOOT WELL, he/she CAN'T DO SHIT.
