| - The SBP500 is one of the most powerful submachine guns in TimeSplitters Future Perfect. As is implied by its name, it is similar to the SBP90 Machinegun from TimeSplitters 2, which was based off of the real-life Fabrique Nationale P90. While some elements of the P90 can be still seen in the SBP500, overall the weapon is far more futuristic in design. This weapon features a 64-round top-loading magazine akin to the real-life P90, although the reload mechanism is quite different and somewhat unorthodox; the player first breaks the weapon like a shotgun, and then an automatic extraction system (judging by the sound made in the process) ejects the magazine to the rear so that it may be removed. The player then feeds in a fresh magazine, again with the assistance of the automatic mechanism, and snaps the fore-end back into position, apparently simultaneously cocking the weapon. The SBP500 seems to have an integral sound suppressor and offers a very high rate of fire, around 900 rounds a minute. Coupled with its large magazine, this latter fact makes it ideally suited to close-quarters engagements, although care should be taken as it still capable of draining its ammunition supply surprisingly quickly.
