First thing is the fire selector, it's both good and bad, regretfully. You've put safety and repetition at opposite ends of the fire selector, something that is good for if the fire selector is easy to move between modes. (This being because, unlike in most games and films, semi-auto/repetition is used in almost every situation by the modern infantryman) On the other hand, the fire selector looks pretty hard to manipulate, quite small and fiddly (remember: your weapon may need to be used by someone 1/2 way up a mountain, wearing thick gloves and at night - make it easy for as many situations as possible), however this is a small point. The rails and iron sights are good (G36 RIS and G36 Irons), I like the brass deflector too (often forgotten by people) and the ambidextrous G36-style cocking handle is good, if slightly weighty. (since that section is very much based on the G36 I'm assuming the cocking handle works on the same principle. Therefore it's a massive lump of metal which is heading all the way back to the bolt, much further than the G36's would need to go). Finally, I'll quickly address the magazine. I know RoninPsycho's said it, but that's gotta be a 'x45' magazine, so you could probably claim that it's firing the 9x39mm subsonic round used by the Soviets/Russians in the AS and VSS rifles.
But, despite any niggles, it's a good gun!
Everything on the top half of the gun is fine, in my opinion. Or maybe the top 2/3. Now this APPEARS to me to be a well-made transfusion of the p90 and the F2000, in real life relatives of design. One of the greatest things about the F2000 is the placement of the ejection port on the front of the gun. That way lefties wouldn't get brass in the face. That's not the case here. SO, this gun isn't exactly ambidextrous.
The other thing I don't like are the handle. And I know, it's P90 style, but still, it looks too short to me.
The texturing is fantastic though, and it's a pretty good transfusion of certain elements in real life guns. Keep up the good work.
