I found this Nerf-like toy blaster, called the Air Zone Quickfire Sniper and it's practically a FN P90, although it is supposed to be a rifle. Does anyone think it could be modded to make a FN P90 prop?
If you wanted it as a static prop then I'd say yes, definitely; however if you wanted it to still work it looks like you may have some issues with the magazine placement..
Good find though, I may have to look into getting one!

I think so too.
If you look at the where the mag would be on a real FN P90, there is a moulded area that looks like it's meant to look a bit like bullets inside a magazine.
Closing up the real mag-well and doing a decent paint-job would result in a (convincing at a moderate distance) FN P90 prop.
Yeah, Airsoft P90 is the best way to go I think. Just hit some Hong King Airsoft websites (ehobby Asia, rsov, ...), you'll find several models around 100-150$ that are good replicas. Best one would be the Marui, but it's overpriced as hell in my opinion...
Agreed, there are some really affordable options for the P90 in airsoft. This is a cool seburo styled prop though, I might have to pick one up just to mod it out a little!
I'd have to agree with the airsoft option rather than the mod. I know I would if I could!
Airsoft isn't allowed over here in Australia and for quite awhile now I've been toying with making a P90 up from scratch. I've drawn myself up some blueprints in CAD and looking at your nerf gun the finger holes and trigger are exact!... but that's it. The charging bolt is where your mag needs to go and the front section where the dart magazine goes is way too long so if you wanted it to look like a P90, you've got to lose that section and do some major modding to the area. If you want it to still fire nerf darts well, it's not going to look much like a P90, perhaps one of the anime P90 hybrids that seem to be out there?
As an accurate P90 mod you'd have to do a lot of work to it, making the airsoft option much more viable if you really had your heart set on an accurate prop replica for a costume or something. As a cool P90 hybrid toy mod I'd say you're onto a real winner though.
