Picture request: X-ray of PS90

[PercyShelley]

I seem to recall and x-ray photograph of an FN PS90, or perhaps a P90. It gave a good look at the internals, since the x-ray could see right through the polymer exterior.

Does anyone have it?

 

[PTK]

No, but I'm interested as well.

I could also disassemble my PS90 if you'd like closeup photos of the internals.

 

[PercyShelley]

That'd be great! My internet searches so far have turned up a lot of airsoft stuff, and stock profile views.

I'm especially interested in a bottom view of the gun and a better look at how the trigger pack works.

My google-jitsu is strong this night.

Wiki has an exploded view of all the components but its not in great detail. I could have swore there were more pictures but its been a while since I went there. The part that the picture calls the trigger group also had been called the hammer group...in case that might help your search.

It looks like someone was trying to smuggle one in inside a suitcase. lol

I wonder what the X-Ray machine operator thought when he saw that, after he cleaned his pants of course.

 

[TexasRifleman]

Well at least it wasn't loaded

 

[Chipperman]

Treat all guns as loaded until you have verified by X-Ray that they are unloaded.

That X-ray has been digitally altered to add color, I don't think the screens they have at TSA screening stations enhance them that way.

 

[PercyShelley]

When I've peaked around back, some of them do in fact have those false-color displays. I think it's like the colorful weather reports you see on the news or something; the shades correspond to the density of the material.

Note also the "aura" artifact around the barrel, which is pretty common with metals in x-ray scanners IIRC.

As for the trigger group/hammer group, I think the arrangement in the P90 has been appropriated from the AUG. The hammer and sears sit just behind the ejection chute, and a long pull wire wraps around to activate it. The safety is just a trigger block. The safe position does not allow the trigger to travel at all, semi allows it to activate the semi sears, and auto allows it to go back far enough to activate the auto sears in the auto variant. Again, IIRC, the auto trigger pull is two-stage, just like in the AUG.
