Its pretty quite with a silencer as well, though not as quite as an MP5.

Low muzzle lift, super fast rate of fire, super big mag to accommodate, wishes it was an MP-5...I'm biased.

Very accurate.

The P90 is a bit after my time but I have played with it on a few occasions, personally I could never get used to the Bullpup designs while others prefer it.

I've never fired the bullpups, but the few people I know who have really like it. I have never heard of any of them being a match rifle, though. I can see they'd be fast to get on target and effective in a close-in environment (say, less than 50 yds).

Back in the olden days, a gun was really an edged weapon (like a pike) with a bullet fired out of the end. The poor sod carrying the thing got his one shot and then hacked at his enemy. This theory reached it's maximum development with the British and the Brown Bess--with tactics to match the design of the weapon. Dense company of men in ranks with sequenced fire followed by bayonet work in close. Muskets and then rifles continued with the alternative use as a pike through WWI, the last war where generals though it was a good idea to use bayonet charges against machine guns.

Since then bayonets have been rarely used except as a last resort or under extraordinary circumstances. Given a bayonet situation, I'd rather have an '03 Springfield than a bullpup design. In other words, is the bayonet now as much a relict of former tactics as a saber?

The bayonet would come in handy if you have to reload, he who has to reload first does not write the history book in most cases.

Seems counterproductive to silence a low mass 5.7x28. Gotta go with a bigger bullet if you want any energy downrange with subsonic muzzle velocity.

Not really, the small calibers penetrate armor better. The MP7 is the upcoming sub of choice which is 4.6X30, speed rules with body armor, holes in vitals trump energy.
