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, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance.
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 used only occasionally used 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, it can be found with a Suppressor and Red Dot Sight in "All Ghillied Up"; it will also be 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.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Campaign
The P90 is encountered in the Campaign in "Loose Ends", "Just Like Old Times", "Contingency", "Of Their Own Accord", "Exodus", "Second Sun", "Cliffhanger" and Estate Takedown and Sniper Fi in Special Ops.
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 very much the same 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 gamemodes, the weapon can kill enemies in 4-5 hits without Stopping Power, 3-4 with the perk active, while in Hardcore, the P90 can take down targets in 1-2 shots, both under normal circumstances. This means it can be less effective than the UMP45, and consequently less used than the UMP's consistent 3-hit kill.

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 silencer, Red Dot Sight or Holographic Sight. 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. Its biggest strength, however, is its 50-round magazine which allows players to take on multiple opponents without reloading. This also grants the player 150 total rounds of ammunition, the most of any SMG. Because of the large magazine, Rapid Fire is an excellent choice, as it will raise the kill speed and still allow multiple targets to be engaged despite rounds being wasted—a trait other SMG's don't have without Extended Magazines).

Trivia
General

- The P90 is the only SMG to appear in every installment of the Modern Warfare series.
- It carries a non-functional flashlight on the side rail with a pressure switch going down to the trigger.

- In the Wii version, the P90's magazine ammo count is the same as the LMG ammo bar.
- The P90's magazine can be camouflaged if it is equipped with a silencer.
- The P90 will always have a laser on the left-side rail no matter what the attachment. It serves no purpose, other than as a cosmetic.
- When a Red Dot Sight is attached, the RDS is not mounted directly on the P90's rail, but onto an external rail that's attached to the P90 rail.
- Having a P90 as a player's primary weapon increases their sprint duration by 75%, but this was patched on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.

- The P90, if equipped with Scavenger Pro, has the most starting ammunition of any SMG, 350 rounds.
- If using the P90 Akimbo the muzzle can only be seen on the right hand gun in first person.
- Extended Mags has a unique benefit of increasing the sprint time to 7 seconds from the default 4 seconds, more so like an added fourth perk resembling Marathon
