Actual Purpose of PS-90/MP7?

[olstyn]

I'm no fan of the caliber but with 50 rounds you can always apply "P" for plenty.

At $0.32/round for the "cheap" stuff and with the cartridge being a pain in the ass to reload for several reasons, it's a good thing that it's easy to shoot well. Putting in any significant amount of practice would get expensive in a hurry. That said, I'd love to get to try one out; they do look like lots of fun.

This is why, when thinking about the PS90 for my wife, the ammo cost is hard to be critical of as she isn't the most "enthusiastic" shooter. A single case would go a long way, even with some familiarization shooting and whatnot.

I just checked AmmoSeek, and 5.7x28 is going for ~$0.36 per round, .2WMR ~$.16, .30 Carbine for ~$0.25.

I don't know how easy it would be to design the fed mechanism for .22 WMR, or .30 Carbine. (There might be some other existing calibers that would perform well in this platform, but if part of the problem is rarity and expense of ammo, going with, like. .30 Mauser or .356 TSW wouldn't be much of an improvement.)

Regardless of caliber, I don't know what it would take to design and build the thing to cost a $grand less.

5.7x28 is definitely a champagne caliber - expensive, but very nice to consume.

That being said, ~ 2 years ago 5.56 and .45 ACP FMJ were selling for over 30 cents a round, whereas SS197 VMAX was selling for 36 cents a round. Likewise, defensive SS198 is 56 cents, about what I pay for PSA .223 64gr Gold Dot.

If training costs are an issue, Tokyo Marui makes a very high quality PS90 airsoft gun. Given the low recoil, it would be a pretty viable training tool for drills around the house.

There's also the HTA 90/22 that converts the Ruger 10/22 into a PS90, which makes for another viable training tool:
