Even the P90 used in one of Tessa's garage kit and by the "UN" forces in the hijacking episode are existant. Basically all the weaponry used in FMP is consisted of real weapons or very similar ones to the real thing.
I was talking about the fictuous mecha weapons, not the small arms weapons.

The P90 is made by the belgian company of FN Herstal if I'm not mistaken.

Too bad there's no FMP 'history' book.
Well, I maybe able to piece together some more of the FMP world after reading the translated novels.

Thanks anyway, Zero.

P.S.
I was really laughing in the FMP ep where Sousuke is introduced to his class.
Him mentioning several Janes armaments (existing publisher!) publications and "Arm Slave monthly" (a deliberate pun on "Air Forces monthly") made me laugh out loud. Especially because I'm familiar with those publications (also reading them).
