The Chang Feng CS/LS 06 is a Chinese bullpup SMG influenced by designs like the PP-19 Bizon and Calico, but with distinct features. Developed by Qing Shangsheng, it was initially in 5.8mm but shifted to 9x19mm for export. Key features include a 50-round top-mounted helical magazine, a threaded muzzle brake, and a selector with Safe, Semi, and Full-Auto settings.

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.

The Chinese CS/LS2, an export version of the QCW-05, is a lightweight 9mm bullpup SMG with significant drawbacks. Its high cyclic rate and light bolt contribute to harsh felt recoil and vibration, making accurate fire difficult. The ergonomics are criticized, particularly the awkward grip and 'atrociously' poor iron sights. It operates from an open bolt with a non-ambidextrous charging handle, rendering it unusable for left-handed shooters. Ultimately, the CS/LS2 is deemed inferior to established platforms like the MP5, possessing few redeeming qualities beyond being a collector's curiosity.
