Tula Instrument Design Bureau has received this lucrative, at first glance, an order from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, who delivered a similar puzzle designers to the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant. The requirement was one — to make the Russian pull-out gun — machine gun similar to the South American PP FMG (abbreviation for the British language, translated as "folding submachine gun"), which dealt with the release of the company "Ares". Udmurtskie gunsmiths for some reason, refused to carry out the order, in our opinion, did not want to create a competitive benchmark their own product — PP-19 "Bison".

The introduction of sub-machine gun PP-90M1

This product is designed to use Russian 9mm rounds 7N21 and 7N31 (9x19mm PBP) high power armor piercing bullets. It may also be the use of standard 9x19mm Parabellum cartridges or NATO.Tak 9mm, bullet 7N31 "sews" sheet of steel of 10 mm at a distance of 10 m feature of this product is unusual, causing a lot of controversy, the method of charging the gate when you push in the form of utaplivatelya , which located on the muzzle of the receiver. This could be explained in assembling products for the shelter carrying guns and instant ready position for the shooting, but the speaker on the right side lever safety gear and other features do not give rise to such conclusions.

Test results show that the spread of shots is in the real ellipse of dispersion. This means that a small queue of 4-5 rounds remain in the circle with a diameter of 10 cm accuracy

As noted dependence of defect products from the effects of a dirty environment, causing misfires and failures are likely to be fired. Also big disadvantage is the time to bring guns to combat readiness.
