The PS90 is a semi-automatic carbine so it shoots semi-auto. Standard magazines hold 30 rounds for the PS90, but you can get 50 and 10 round clips. You can do a few tweaks yourself and turn the PS90 into an automatic though. The P90 is the automatic version and shoots an average of 900 rounds a minute.

No but there are kits to make it legal. The hurdles involved in rendering the PS90 California-legal are: * The forward stock protrusion under the barrel could be considered a forward pistol grip. * The owner's manual states that the device on the front of the barrel is a flash hider. * The thumbhole stock is a restricted feature. * Overall length of the rifle is around 26", which is fine by federal law, but not for a semi-automatic centerfire rifle in California.

The PS90 is a semi-auto carbine variant of the fully auto P90 submachinegun. In order to legally convert one to full auto, you would need to obtain a Type 7 or Type 10 FFL, and the Special Occupational Tax Class 2 stamp to go along with it. To be able to purchase a P90 full auto from the factory, you would need a Type 1, Type 7, Type 8, Type 9, Type 10, or Type 11 FFL with the appropriate Special Occupational Tax stamps. Before you go thinking, "well, I'll just get that, and I can convert or buy a full auto one for my own personal use", it's nowhere near that simple.
Well, first you have to live in a state which will approve NFA Class III transfers. Then, you have to get a Federal Firearms Licence... Type 1 (dealer) with a Class III Special Occupational Tax Stamp is the one you'd probably want. Once you've done that, you'll need to open a store front, and you'll probably need to build and open a range in order to justify the purchase (purchasing it for range rental). Then, you have to obtain a letter of approval from your local law enforcement agency which authorises you to purchase the P90 as a dealer sample. If you don't want to go through all of that, the most you'll manage is a PS90. It's a semi-automatic variant of the P90 with a 16 inch barrel. Any FFL dealer in any non-AWB state can order one for you.
The FNH P90 did not enter production until well after both the Gun Control Act of 1968 (which prohibited further importation of full auto firearms for the civilian market) and the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 (which prohibited domestic manufacture/conversion of full auto firearms for the civilian market). Thus, they cannot be purchased, whether imported or domestically manufactured (this includes imported models with enough US-made parts to be 922r compliant). To be able to legally purchase one, you would need a Type 1 FFL, Special Occupational Tax Class 3 stamp, and law enforcement letterhead approving the purchase as a dealer sample. To legally convert a semi auto into a full auto, you would need a Type 7 or Type 10 FFL, Special Occupational Tax Class 2 stamp, and the know-how to do it (most people think it's a simple matter of dropping in parts - it is not). The semi-auto FNH PS90, on the other hand, is legal to own in Florida. It is semi-auto only, and is manufactured with a barrel which meets the legal length requirement of 16 inches.
