The PP-90 is an attempt to copy the concept (and probably some design ideas) of the American prototype Ares FMG (Folding Machine Gun), developed in early 1990s by KBP Instrument Design Bureau in Tula. Both the Ares FMG and its PP-90 clone were intended for concealed carry, and can be folded down to a relatively compact, plain looking metal box. When needed, these guns were to be unfolded into a ready-to-fire position in 3 - 4 seconds. Other weapons of similar concept include the UC-9 and Magpul FMG-9.
The PP-90 is a full-auto only weapon. The PP-90M is its select-fire variant. A 9x19mm Parabellum variant was also introduced later, designated the PP-92.
Despite the name similarities, the PP-90 is unrelated to the PP-90M1.
