How do I Load the Fn Ps90 Clip?

FN Herstal, the Belgian firearms manufacturer, developed the P90 sub-machine gun in the mid 1980s in an attempt to answer NATO's plea for replacement for the ubiquitous 9mm cartridge. Since then, the rifle has gained the attention of many counter-terrorist and security forces for its compact frame, low-recoil, high capacity and high velocity ammunition. Unusually petite in design, the P90 utilizes a unique "top-mounted longitudinal magazine," requiring an unorthodox loading procedure.
