Right I get that. But the P90 isn't a shortened version of a rifle. Unless you just mean the longer barreled P90 is a rifle, and the shorter is then a carbine.

The P90 and the FN 5-7 use the same rounds, so the P90 is a submachine gun.

I win the argument.

What I want to know is why this gun even exists, it has a magwell on the bottom and a P90 magwell on top. I'm sorry if I'm missing something, it just looks.....why

It's based off a conversion kit for ARs. 50 rounds of 5.7 isn't bad at all.

There have been a lot of games since the last fatality. Roses are red, violets are blue, so is your car at 102

If you knew how a P90 worked then you would understand why the AR57 looks the way it does.

This is all arguing semantics anyway, but you can't define the P90 based on the Five-seveN because the P90 (and 5.7mm round) came out almost a decade before the Five-seveN. If anything the pistol is designed to shoot an intermediary PDW round.

However, the Five-seveN did have some impact on the P90. In its early development, around the early 90's, the SS90, the original 5.7x28 mm cartridge was replaced with the SS190, which was a bit shorter and heavier. This was to accommodate the Five-seveN.
