FN Herstal was the first small arms manufacturer to respond to NATO's requirement; FN started by developing a shoulder-fired personal defense weapon, the FN P90, along with a small caliber, high velocity 5.7×28mm cartridge type. [1] The original 5.7×28mm cartridge, called the SS90, went into production with the P90 in 1990. [24]
The AR-57 PDW upper is a new design on AR-15/M16 rifles, blending the AR-15/M16 lower with a lightweight, monolithic upper receiver system chambered in 5.7×28mm. This model is also sold as a complete rifle, supplied with two 50-round P90 magazines. [1]
Yes, FN does have black stocked PS90s for sale. However, many choose to dye their stocks with black liquid Rit dye (nothing wrong with that). However, the owner's manual states not to modify the PS90 in any way, otherwise it may void the warranty. This is different from buying a factory black stock PS90.

Introduced in 1991, the FN P90 features a bullpup design with a futuristic appearance. It has a 50-round magazine housed horizontally above the barrel, an integrated reflex sight and fully ambidextrous controls. [18] A simple blow-back automatic weapon, it was designed to fire the FN 5.7×28mm cartridge which can penetrate soft body armor.
The FN P90, Kel-Tec P50, and AR-57 personal defense weapons use horizontally mounted feeding systems. The magazine sits parallel to the barrel, fitting flush with the top of the receiver, and the ammunition is rotated 90 degrees by a spiral feed ramp before being chambered.
