A buddy of mine who watches the show all the time says the P90s are not real. They're apparently TM guns and the muzzle blasts are digitally edited in.

Don't watch the show so I can't say for sure. Definitely plausible since this technique is becoming more popular because it's a lot cheaper. Rental automatic weapons for theatre are expensive with a capital E, not to mention more dangerous than airsoft.

Easy way to tell - see if there are shell casings dropping from the stock when they fire. Anyone know?
