Design

Main article: APS underwater rifle

The QBS-06 is a gas-operated, rotary-bolt mechanism-based firearm[3] modelled after the older Soviet APS rifle. While the QBS-06 looks similar to the APS, it is not an exact clone.[3][4]

The QBS-06 has a capacity of 25 rounds[1] and is chambered in 5.8×42 DBS-06 caliber, a variant of 5.8×42mm.[1]

The QBS-06 is equipped with fixed iron sights and retractable shoulder stock, made of steel wire with the furniture made from plastic.[1] The QBS-06 weights arounds 3.15 kg and it has a cyclic rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute.[5]

The QBS-06 can be fitted with two types of bayonets, including the Type 95 (QNL-95) and the Type 06 (QNL-06), the latter being specifically designed for the QBS-06.
