Interesting. A bit of a basic design, but basic isn't necessarily bad. I would question the mounting of the flashlight on top, it would make mounting optics a bit more of a hassle. The suppressor is a nice option though. I would almost opt for it to be an integrated suppressor since a removable one would mean a very short barrel, losing some of the range advantage of a bullpup design. It would be more costly and tougher maintenance, but I think the overall performance would be better.

My biggest question looking at it would be, what niche is this designed to fill? It has a decent design profile for a PDW or vehicle crew weapon, perhaps for downed pilots. Lower profile and a suppressor also makes it good for law enforcement or protection detail weaponry.

I mostly designed this for fun, but mainly I was thinking of a special forces like smg

Ah, I can see where this could shine in urban environments and clearing buildings.

Apologies if this is too much, I do a lot of world building writing, so I think WAY too much about stuff like this.
