bullpup

A type of gun where the gun's action is located behind the trigger group and alongside the shooter's face, instead of in front as in conventional designs. This permits the gun to be shorter for the same barrel length, improving maneuverability and reducing weight.

Basically, in a normal gun, the magazine is in front and the trigger is behind. In a bullpup firearm, the trigger is in front and the magazine is behind.

The P90 is the most well-known example of a bullpup submachine gun.
