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 P90, along with a small caliber, high velocity 5.7×28mm cartridge type. [16]
In World War I 45-caliber naval gun barrels were typical, in World War II 50- to 55-caliber barrels were common, with Germany already manufacturing tank guns of 70 calibers by 1943. Today, 60- to 70-caliber barrels are not uncommon, but the latest technology has allowed shorter barrels of 55 calibers to attain muzzle velocities of 1,750 m/s ...
It offered superior performance over the prototype projectile as well as slightly reduced length. [6] The latter change allowed it to be used more conveniently in the Five-seven pistol, also being developed at that time. [27] Fired from the P90, the SS190 propels a 2.0-g (31 grain) bullet at a muzzle velocity of roughly 715 m/s (2,350 ft/s).
The P90 is a scaled-up version of the P89 chambered in .45 ACP with an investment cast aluminum alloy frame. It was introduced in 1991 as the company's first attempt at a .45 ACP pistol, and was in direct competition with SIG Sauer's P220 , Smith & Wesson's 4500 series, and to a lesser extent Glock's G21 that came out the same year.

Note that each category will include weapons that are in that general size class. Weapons of similar caliber may differ in exact caliber (i.e. 76 mm and 76.2 mm will both be under 76 mm artillery). Non metric calibers are placed within the nearest calculated metric category.
