This Q&A episode delves into the mechanics of short-recoil SMGs and the specific Kimber Model 1907 .45. It touches upon historical sight designs, particularly 3-dot pistol sights on rifles used as WWI night sights. The discussion also explores the concept of snub-nosed machine guns and the feasibility of their design.
This review of the Chinese CS/LS2 bullpup SMG, presented by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons, offers a critical analysis of its design and performance. The firearm operates via an open bolt, blowback system with a proprietary 30-round magazine. McCollum highlights significant ergonomic issues, particularly the awkward grip and poor iron sights, and notes that the lightweight bolt contributes to a harsh recoil impulse despite the 9mm Parabellum caliber. The review concludes that the CS/LS2 lacks redeeming qualities when compared to established platforms like the MP5, positioning it primarily as a collector's curiosity.
