The RC-P90 is a very powerful and accurate sub-machine weapon with a massive ammo capacity and rapid rate of fire. It is rare, only appearing in three of the game's missions. It is able to penetrate objects, including doors. A single shot from this weapon causes slightly more damage than the Phantom or AR33, but its power is just short of the Cougar Magnum or Moonraker Laser.

Trivia & Notes[]
- This weapon is based on the real-world FN P90. No pre-release screenshots using this name are known to exist, but an unused text string, which can be found for it in Perfect Dark. This string seems to have been lifted from the ones used by GoldenEye 007's inventory during development.
- Following the previous note, the weapon's real life counterpart, only holds up to 50 bullets in its magazine.
- Following the mention in the first note, it appears that the RC-P90's 80 round magazine was likely a mistake by the developers. This is because RC-P90, apparently uses "0x50", which in "hexadecimal" is "80", and for it to have 50 bullets, it should have been "directly" given "0x32", which is "50" in "decimal".
- It's possible that this weapon's fictional name was inspired by the "Reality Co-Processor", the Nintendo 64's graphics processing chip.
- In the Water Caverns, it is possible to find enemy guards dual wielding the RC-P90. These guards will only show up after Trevelyan disappears into the elevator.
- This weapon is a popular favorite among the GoldenEye 007 community, and is often considered one of the most overpowered weapons in the game, especially when dual-wielded.
- The RC-P90's penetration ability is slightly greater than that of the AR33 and Moonraker Laser, but is still inferior to the Cougar Magnum, as it still cannot hit enemies through bulletproof glass.
- Despite its firing sound effect suggesting an extremely rapid fire rate, the RC-P90 is actually only slightly faster than that of the AR33.
- The RC-P90 is featured in Perfect Dark as the RC-P45, though it no longer has the ability to penetrate enemies and objects.
- The weapon was voted #4 in GameFly's "Best. Weapons. Ever".
- The RC-P90 was #6 on UGO's list of "The 50 Best Weapons of All Time".
- The RC-P90 has the largest magazine capacity in the game, with 80 rounds.
