It was always the P90, long before the civilian version, the PS90, existed. Unlesss of course the gun you're talking about in the civilian version with the ridiculously long barrel.

Sons of Anarchy season 4 opener just ended. There were a couple references to the FsN.

Early in the show an ATF agent is listing guns the IRA has provided to the Sons he mentions an FN fiftyseven.

Later at Opie's wedding, one of the Russians describes a "cop killer" that "penetrates kevlar" and hands Clay a FsN.

Last night must have been FiveSeven night. Watched Combat Hospital and Sons of Anarchy, both had the amazing pistol in them.

They have also refered to the FsN as "fifty sevens" multiple times in Sons of Anarchy.

Fringe finale, has a very quaint new version of the FsN.

Usually, tacky series just put a lasermax or light on the FsN, or use a clone.

The Fringe series has always had the best reincarnations of the FsN. The finale (pt 1.) has a really rad one.

Yeah, the latest variant in the Fringe series is on the 2nd to last episode of this season; the villain Jessica uses a really tricked out one that William Bell had created. It had a different sight that was toward the front of the slide.

This particular game came out a couple of months ago for the new Playstation Vita handheld system. I think the reason for the simplistic web page is to make it look better on the 5" screen.

I saw a brief glimpse of a fsn on that new motorcycle show on discovery channel. I was working out and not paying attention to the tv and then looked up when I heard a slide racking. Dude was packing a fiveseven!

The show is called The Devils Ride.

:) Last season of fringe is powered. I'm glad FOX didn't repeat the error of cancelling it, as with Firefly.

Captured off the 2nd episode of this last season. I brightened the image so you could see the detail, more clearly. Originally using FsN's, they went to a prototype FsN that fired highly-accelerated rounds (imagine that). Then from that prototype, the pictured firearm you see was developed. They really spent time (and money?) on this prop. Which makes me smile.

I'm going to claim that the gun it is modeled after is a Walther P99 AS. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Perhaps they changed it such that the narrower and shorter grip would allow easier manipulation for the actors and mainly, actresses that wield it.

Pan down and here it is:

For the record, if you are a Castle fan (and even if you're not) - best episode ever - IMHO. Tons-o-sci fi references including Star Trek, BSG, and yes, even "That Joss Whedon show."

AGREED.

I think he snuck the "Joss Whedon" comment in there, and that it wasn't in the script. He hesitated, and he couldn't help himself. :)

I think it was intentional, if you watch the series there are occasional references to Firefly. During one halloween episode he was trying out costumes & came out wearing his 'Captain Mal' get up.

Saw a black Five-seveN in the movie Transcendence the other week. The camera spent quite a bit of time on the gun (both side and muzzle angles) so you were able to easily identify it. The guy holding the FsN was being mind-controlled and just kind of held it out there for all to see if I remember correctly. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a bad rating and I was hesitant to watch it, but am glad I did because I really enjoyed it. The movie explored some really far-out technology concepts and the acting was good. I really can't fathom why they gave it such low marks. I usually agree with RT's ratings but this one seemed more like a 50 than a 19.

The bad guys (Hydra) often have FsN's on that show. The last episode I saw had the heroes posing as BGs, and I'm pretty sure they were wielding FiveseveNs.

Really really. It's on his IMDB bio page but also on lots of other webpages out there.
The one that really surprised me though was stallone & his comment about going door to door & confiscating guns.
In an interview, while living in Britian, sly is quoted as saying:
In response to the shooting of Phil Hartman in 1999, Sylvester Stallone told Access Hollywood, “Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you’re gonna have. It’s pathetic. It really is pathetic. It’s sad. We’re living in the Dark Ages over there.”

Hollywood is full of hypocrites like that.

Well Rapier1772, I am not quite sure how to take your reply on the NCIS post. I would hope you are being sarcastic. How could you possibly consider this as "bad press". The fact that the show featured the FiveseveN at all is a tribute to the weapon we all endorse. Care to explain?
