The P90 is ok, I have problems with the stock/sights setup. You have to raise the stock so the point of the butt is in your shoulder not the entire butt and you have to bring your head down to the sights. Not a real good ergo rifle. The cartridge is lousy out passed about 200 yards. Not good on a car body either.

Mag changes are difficult under the best of circumstances. Fortunately, I get to put rounds through a lot of the new weapons. The 6.8 SPC is really impressive. I was surprised.

I have a T/C barrel for my G2 carbine in 6.8. Better trajectory/ballistics than the 30-30. I use it for deer.

You are comparing it to the wrong sort of tool. It's designed for those, who for one reason or another, can't easily carry a full sized weapon, nor even a "compact" one like the CAR, in whatever caliber.

It's not designed to be used at 200 yards, and rarely at 100 yards. It's really designed for the same mission as the M-1 Carbine was originally intended for, vehicle crews, artilleryman, and behind the lines support personnel. For that it's more than OK, when compared to the 9mm pistol it mostly replaces.
