Trigger Pull: The Cybergun FN Herstal P90 NBB AEG Airsoft Rifle is an AEG which uses a battery to power a motor that pulls a spring back for each repetition of each shot which means the trigger is essentially an electric on off switch. This makes the trigger function very much like a single action trigger. Generally single action triggers are fairly short and light in feel and the Cybergun FN Herstal P90 NBB AEG Airsoft Rifle is no exception. There is about a quarter inch or so pull and then the on switch is triggered.

Accuracy: Starting with our Velocity FPS test, we placed several rounds through our Chronograph and once they evened out a bit, we averaged out our last 5 shots and was able to get a 427 fps velocity using .20 gram plastic Airsoft BB’s. Which is really close to the 436 fps claimed velocity made by Cybergun. We did notice that when we had a fully loaded magazine that we did get some occasional lower velocity shots perhaps because of too high of spring tension the magazine and this causing some loading issues? So do not load the magazine too much and cause the spring tension to overload it. Moving on to our Accuracy test, we placed a fresh paper target 30 feet down range and first shot 10 rounds in semi auto followed by the rest of the magazine, so we would say around 45 shots in full auto. We were able to get around a 1.5 inch grouping shooting 10 rounds and that opened up just a bit when we unloaded the rest of the magazine in full auto tonight around a 2 inch grouping. Shot placement is kind of irrelevant as the Cybergun FN Herstal P90 NBB AEG Airsoft Rifle does not come with any sighting system so you will need to add your own Red Dot or picatinny compatible sight to it and of course adjust it to your preferred shot placement.

Build Quality: The Cybergun FN Herstal P90 NBB AEG Airsoft Rifle is on the outside almost all plastic but for a compact CQB styled rifle it does weigh a fair amount at almost 5 pounds so it does feel really solid in the hand. I imagine there must be a fair amount of internal metal mechanic parts going on in order to boost up the overall weight. I did notice that the area where the picatinny rails are located is all metal, so the entire area where the rear portion of the magazine sits in. What we consider to be the stock portion is all plastic which is not surprising.

Realism: The Cybergun FN Herstal P90 NBB AEG Airsoft Rifle is a licensed replica of a real steel FH Herstal P90 Rifle and has all the official FN branding on it via Cybergun licensing. It really does look accruate in almost dry way including the semi transparent magazine that shows what looks to be very real 5.7x28mm ammunition. The only real tell tale part would be the orange flash hiden which you can swap out for a more realistic all back version if you choose to.

Pros:

• Has good overall weight considering mostly plastic external build.
• Easy to get to and use hopup, just need your hands.
• Ambidextrous trigger super easy to adjust right at your finder tips.
• Comes with a speed loader and cleaning jam rod.
• Sling mount in the back.
• Front top PicatinnyRail for red dot, scope.
• Side Picatinny rails for a laser or tac light setup
• Easy to get to battery compartment.
• Fully licensed trademarks via Cybergun.
• Very compact design , great for CQB battle situations.
• Fairly high claimed fps! We will see?
• Reasonable price in the Replica Airguns Canada and US Store.

Cons:

• Mostly all plastic exterior.
• Come with an orange tip.
• Does not come with any type of sighting system.

Comments: The Cybergun FN Herstal P90 NBB AEG Airsoft Rifle is a real unique looking rifle with its super compact CQB design. We are not sure everyone will like this style of AEG Airsoft Rifle but it is refreshing to see something other than another AR. We like that you get almost everything you need to get shooting with the FN Herstal P90 but keep in mind you will need your own sighting system and we recommend you put something like a compact red dot on it to go along with the compact build. We would also switch out the flash hider for something better looking and at some point upgrade the battery setup for an 11.1 volt lithium. All that said for under $300 Canadian and a bit over $160 US, it is good value but we will leave our final thoughts until after we make our Field Test Shooting Video most likely next week.
