The '''StG M90''', officially the '''Sturmgevär/Sturmgewehr Modell 90''', is an [[Acrea|Acrean]] select-fire 5.56x45mm battle rifle designed by the Stuhr arsenal for the [[Acrean Armed Forces]]. It was designed in the 1970s as a replacement for the [[Stuhr StG 51|StG M51]], using a lighter intermediate cartridge. Entering service in 1983, the M90 was considered incredibly advanced for its time due to its use of primarily polymer construction and omission of iron sights in favour of the sole use of optical sights. In addition, the rifle has become known for its light weight, reliability, ease of maintenance, and modularity.

It is currently supplemented by the [[Stuhr StG M6|StG M6]] in Acrean service, which has already replaced it fully in numerous divisions and and is expected to fully replace the M90 in frontline service by 2026.
