I'd bet that they were really expensive for the armorer to obtain, and he purchased a bunch in anticipation of them being the next big thing. And when that didn't pan out, along came Stargate and he milked it for all it was worth.

No, tey wanted something that looked futuristic and cool, the p90 wasnt as mainstream as it is now when they started showing it.

If I recall, haven't movie armorers had a lot of trouble getting blanks for P90s? There's a story going around about how "Stargate:SG1" had to cut back on P90 use around the time of the Iraq War because the company that made the 5.7mm blanks was also a U.S. government contractor and had to shift to manufacturing 5.56x45mm (live) for the war. I can't verify this, but it's what I've read on the 'Net.

Well i remember the g36k and carters special carbine being more prominent for a while.

One of the best scenes in the show.

They only used the G36 in the much later seasons and the Carter Special was only seen in like 2 episodes. I wished they had her keep that as her main weapon. Would have been a change from the P90

SGU has no p90s

This might also explain why we haven't even seen a single P90 on Stargate Universe and there hasn't been a lot of shoot outs and more episodes with the G36Ks, M4s, and other weapons
