 * For similarly named weapons, see P99, PP90M1 and PM-9.

The P90 is a submachine gun featured in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance, and Call of Duty Online. It is also briefly seen in Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
"Fully automatic with a high capacity. Effective at close to medium range."

- Weapon description

Campaign
In the campaign, the P90 is a rare weapon only used occasionally by the Russian Ultranationalists in the later levels of the game. It can be found most commonly in "Heat", "All Ghillied Up", and "Mile High Club", but can also appear on other levels of the game. Typically, the weapon is found unsuppressed and with iron sights. However, one can be found with a Suppressor and Red Dot Sight in "All Ghillied Up" labeled as "P90-SD".

Multiplayer
In multiplayer, the P90 is unlocked at Level 40. It can be modified with a Suppressor, Red Dot Sight, or ACOG Scope, like all other submachine guns. The P90 has a 50 round magazine and a very high rate of fire. Due to its extremely large magazine, it is also the weapon able to carry the most maximum ammunition in the game, barring LMGs. It is a superior SMG at long range due to its low recoil and high rate of fire, especially when firing in short bursts. However, it is also the slowest-killing SMG at close range.

Weapon Attachments

 * Red Dot Sight
 * Silencer
 * ACOG Scope

Old School Mode
The P90 appears in Old School Mode with 50 rounds in the magazine and 100 rounds of reserve ammunition.
 * Backlot - Found in the center of the map, near the forklift.
 * Bloc - Found with a Silencer at the intersection along the center road towards the northern end of the map, near Sleight of Hand and the Frag Grenade.
 * Bog - Found in between the two market buildings on the road towards the southern end of the map, near the Frag Grenade.

 * Crash and Winter Crash - Found in the small enclave behind the two center buildings towards the eastern part of the map.
 * Downpour - Found with an ACOG Scope in the field towards the south-westernmost part of the map, near the destroyed Ural.
 * Killhouse - Found with a Red Dot Sight to the west of the center tower.
 * Pipeline - Found on the ground floor of the northern warehouse.
 * Shipment - Found with a Silencer at the south-east corner of the map, in front of the destroyed yellow car.
 * Strike - Found inside the store near the T-Intersection.

Campaign
The P90 can be found in the Campaign in "Loose Ends", "Just Like Old Times", "Contingency", "Of Their Own Accord", "Exodus", "Second Sun", "Cliffhanger", and "Whiskey Hotel". It is also found in the Special Ops missions in Sniper Fi and Estate Takedown.

Multiplayer
The P90 is again available in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but is unlocked in multiplayer much earlier, at Level 24. The P90 is nearly identical in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as it was in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

The moderate recoil, high rate of fire and moderate damage make the P90 a very good choice at close range and even medium range. The high rate of fire makes hip-firing especially effective, as well as making up for the lower than average base damage. The weapon's iron sights may not suit everyone as they can seem bulky to some players but seem slimmer to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare counterpart probably due to a more detailed weapon model. Among all the submachine guns in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the Extended Mags attachment is perhaps achieved easiest by the P90, due to its large magazine size.

Weapon camouflage is visible on the back and front of the P90, as the magazine is not camouflaged as with its Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare counterpart, but easier to see when reloading, using Akimbo, or using a sight.

In Core game modes, the weapon can kill enemies in four-to-five hits, three-to-four with Stopping Power active. In Hardcore, the P90 takes down targets in one-to-two shots with or without Stopping Power, so a different Tier 2 perk is advised. This means that outside of its three-hit kill range (one-hit kill range in Hardcore), it is generally less effective than the UMP45 and consequently less used than said weapon.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized features the P90 as one of the four submachine guns available in game, the others being the MP5, the MP7, and the Skorpion.

Campaign
In the campaign, the P90 is used only by the SAS and USMC. It is a starting weapon in "Oil Rig Confrontation", "Winter Assault", and "Last Chance". The weapon always has an integrated Red Dot Sight but it is slightly misaligned: the real point of impact is slightly above the red dot. It has a slightly lower rate of fire than in the console versions, but has higher damage per bullet.

Multiplayer
In multiplayer, the P90 is unlocked after getting 300 kills with the Coalition faction. It is the third weapon of the Coalition faction to be unlocked, following the AA-12 and preceding the M249 SAW. It has the same stats of its campaign counterpart but with slightly lower damage, and its Red Dot Sight is still misaligned.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
"With a whopping 50 rounds per magazine, the P90 decimates in close-range, multi-target combat. High damage, solid accuracy, a fast fire rate and good mobility all favor offensive actions against enemy strongholds."

- Call of Duty: Elite description

The P90 was first spotted in the reveal trailer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, near a turnstile a British SAS soldier is vaulting over. The P90 was also seen shortly in the E3 demo of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It is seen being used by the enemies in the mission "Mind the Gap", with or without a Silencer, Red Dot Sight or Holographic Sight. Spetsnaz soldiers use the P90 in "Black Tuesday". Spetsnaz soldiers also commonly use the P90 in "Scorched Earth". It also used by Makarov's bodyguards in "Dust to Dust". It has a high rate of fire and medium recoil.

Multiplayer
The P90 is unlocked at Level 38 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ' s multiplayer. It has a moderately high rate of fire and fairly low recoil for a submachine gun. The P90's biggest strength, however, is its 50-round magazine, which allows players to take on multiple engagements without reloading and also grants the player 150 total rounds of ammunition, the most of any SMG.

The P90's magazine provides some tactical flexibility; for example, Rapid Fire lowers the kill time and allows the P90 to compete better against faster firing SMG's since other SMG's require Extended Magazines to compete with the P90's capacity. Combining Rapid Fire with Extended Mags creates a close-medium range weapon capable of very large amounts of fire, add in Scavenger (especially the Pro version) and it has very high reserve ammo capability to compensate for the number of rounds available for firing. Due to the P90's high ammo capacity even without Scavenger, however, some players may wish to take advantage of this and use a different perk 1, such as Sleight of Hand.

Survival Mode
The P90 is available in Survival Mode at level 46 and costs $2000. Because of its large magazine size, the P90 is very effective in Survival Mode. In very close ranges, the P90 can kill a Juggernaut in less than one magazine, if most of the shots are to the head. Since it is so cheap and it packs power to kill lots of enemies with ease due to its high ammo it is extremely good value for money.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance
The P90 returns in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance. Like in the previous game, it comes with an integrated Red Dot Sight.

Graphics Error
The P90 suffers from a bug in the graphics system which causes it to produce extra bars off to the right side of the screen, glitching it out very oddly.

Call of Duty Online
The P90 returns in Call of Duty Online as the PDW90.
