    Ya, according to stats of the weapon, P90 sux, the L96 is EXACTLY the same as the M24, it's just a M24 with a 'AWP' skin over it.
    I havent looked at the stats, but it seemed to me the 96`s reload time is slower than the m24. I may be wrong but It felt like a slower trigger response and reload.

      well its been a week of using the L96 and i gotta say i actually like it better then the 50cal.

      I think the one-shot kills are easier with the L96. But, i think shots to the body are easier with the 50cal.

      for whatever reason, i find the L96 takes 3 body-shots, while the 50cal takes only 2 body-shots. This is on average during game play.

        Two things to make p90 better..

        1. Give it armour piercing against body armour (realistic, balancing)

        2. Increase its ROF to ~750 (OR) drop its min. deviation by .15 (either would increase hit count, and make it more realistic.. P90 is very accurate AND fires faster than its in-game counterpart.)

            The P90 fires 900RPM like the MP5 as well, that's not MUCH MUCH faster: http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg13-e.htm
            QUOTE: "Rate of fire: 900 rounds per minute"
            Also, the guy who owns the site just set up a new article on the Type 85 (the PLA smg that looks like a WW2 SMG): http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg73-e.htm

              Well from the results of this thread and the obvious truth, the P90 needs buffing.

                You never know, Dice might address the faults of the P90 in the follow-up patch. I haven't used it enough to formulate my own opinion on it, but from what I've read, I would rather get the sniper unlock when the time comes.

                As you all probably know, EA announced that an emergency patch is being made to address some issues of which I have no idea. I am optimistic that they will fix the glitches that the new patch gave us, as well as adjust the P90's rate of fire. We shall see what happens I guess.

                      If you got the 12-shot shotgun then you probably wont want to use the P90 unless they tweak it to be faster. Im hoping rev 1.21 will include that in its changes.

                      Lately, i have been playing Medic and Anti-Tank class more since rev 1.2. It seems there are so many people getting killed that im racking up points as a medic class. Also the ground vehicles are so overwelming that you need anti-tank.

                      If i use the P90, its as a high load pistol. The automatic shot cant hit didley at close range, i get outgunned using the full auto P90 against a pistol!

                      The L96 is pretty kewl, i now like it more than the other sniper rifles. But, it seems everyone is playing sniper now that sniper class got a new kewl looking/sounding gun.

                          The p90 should be

                          Low damage (Maybe even lower than now!)
                          900rpm
                          More accurate. (Maybe .5 base?)
                          Very very low deviation per shot.
                          AP vs body armor
                          Lose damage at long range like pistols and shotguns (Actually all the smg's that use pistol rounds should be like this)

                          That would make it somewhat accurate (or more so at least)
                          Trouble is DICE wants the AT class only to have crappy medium/long range.

                              i personally like them both. i have had no personal issues with the p90. i've been getting quite a few kills with it.

                                Well guys remember u have a huge rocket and mainly for tanks P90 really dosn't need to be powerful becuase your not supposta go run into a massive fire fight just take out vehicles
