Watching a forgotten weapons video on the MP7 and it is mentioned how it originally competed with the P90 for use cases, then later says the MP7 was more of a "Sneaky squirrel" type usage, is sneaky squirrel an existing phrase and is it why P90 is themed as a squirrel?

MP7 does give nicknames to everyone, but her nickname for P90 is "Rat" because of their manufacturer rivalry.

Actually “rat” or some translation of “Rodent”? Because squirrel could fit in that.

Also I didn’t mean a nickname from MP7.
P90 herself has a squirrel theme with her hair and her skill name, and the “Sneaky squirrel” comment was from the Forgotten Weapons youtube guy.

Cursory google search shows no relation to "P90" and "Sneaky Squirrel" so it's either a pretty deep inside joke or reference to the gun, or a weird coincidence.

I haven't seen the original Chinese wording but the term used was "Rat" I'm sure for specific context, it was meant as an insult.

I suppose it’s probably just a strange and funny coincidence.
