Fabriqeu Nationale P90 began as the Project 9.0 in response to NATO's call for a personnel defense weapon (PDW) which would better equip tank crews, artillery crews, etc., whose duty would not include the use of a full-size weapon. As part of the NATO requirement.

The P90 is blowback operated and fires from a closed bolt.
The magazine lies above the barrel and holds up to 50 ballets in two rows in horizontal position pointing to the left.
