FN PS90 5.7x28mm 16.04″ 50rd FDE
$1,902.88
Get the FN PS90 5.7x28mm 16.04″ 50rd FDE—a bullpup semi-auto with a cold hammer-forged barrel, 50-round magazine, and ambidextrous controls. Reliable closed-bolt blowback action in a compact package.
The FN PS90 5.7x28mm 16.04″ 50rd FDE is a semi-auto bullpup that brings the PDW platform to a legal configuration without gutting the ballistic envelope. Chambered in 5.7x28mm, this closed-bolt, blowback-operated rifle uses a cold hammer-forged MIL-SPEC barrel and an integrated ported muzzle brake to manage impulse. The thumbhole stock keeps the overall length short while the translucent 50-round magazine feeds from above. This is the same FN factory build that long-range shooters and PDW enthusiasts have relied on for consistent function across a 16-inch barrel.

Key Features
- Cold Hammer-Forged MIL-SPEC Barrel: The 16.04-inch barrel is hammer-forged to MIL-SPEC standards, giving you consistent rifling life and repeatable accuracy over thousands of rounds.
- Integrated Ported Muzzle Brake: Built into the barrel, the brake reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, keeping your sight picture on target for faster follow-up shots at distance.
- Ambidextrous Controls: The charging handle and safety selector are placed for true left- or right-hand operation—no adapter plates or aftermarket parts needed.
- Translucent 50-Round Magazine: The top-mounted, translucent polymer magazine lets you see your round count at a glance, with a 50-round capacity that feeds reliably through the bullpup action.
- Bullpup Configuration: The thumbhole stock keeps the overall length at just over 26 inches while accommodating a full-length barrel, so you get rifle velocity without the rifle footprint.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the precision shooter who wants a compact PDW that still holds 1-2 MOA at 50-100 yards with quality 5.7x28mm ammunition. It’s also for the collector or competitor who values the FN build quality and the unique bullpup ergonomics. If you’re looking for a reliable semi-auto that runs clean with minimal maintenance, this is your platform.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Low recoil impulse and flat trajectory—5.7x28mm is a laser out to 150 yards.
- Pro: Factory-built ambidextrous controls mean no modification needed for left-handed shooters.
- Con: The trigger pull is heavier than a match-grade AR trigger—typically around 8 lbs—which can limit precision at longer ranges without aftermarket work.

FAQ
Is the FN PS90 reliable with factory ammunition?
Yes. Per FN specs, the PS90 is designed to function with standard-pressure 5.7x28mm ammunition from brands like FN, Federal, and American Eagle. The closed-bolt blowback system runs clean and feeds from the top-mounted magazine without the rim-lock issues seen in some aftermarket conversions.
What is the effective range of this rifle?
With the 16.04-inch barrel, you can expect reliable accuracy to 150-200 yards. The 5.7x28mm round has a flat trajectory, but for precision work, stay inside 100 yards to maintain sub-2 MOA groups.
Can I mount an optic on the PS90?
Yes. The receiver includes an integrated Picatinny rail (MIL-STD-1913) for mounting optics. Many shooters use a red dot or low-power variable optic (LPVO) for close-to-mid range use.
Is this rifle legal in all 50 states?
Check your local laws. The PS90 is a semi-auto rifle with a 16-inch barrel, so it is legal in most states, but some restrict magazine capacity or bullpup configurations. We ship to all 50 states but recommend verifying with your local FFL.
