The QBS-06 is a gas-operated, rotary-bolt mechanism-based firearm modelled after the older Soviet APS rifle. While the QBS-06 looks similar to the APS, it is not an exact clone. The difference between the APS and the QBS-06 is through the flash suppressor, the magazine's flat bottom and the foregrip.The QBS-06 is equipped with fixed iron sights and retractable shoulder stock, made of steel wire with the furniture made from plastic. It weighs around 3.15 kg and it has a cyclic rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute. It has a capacity of 25 rounds and is chambered in 5.8×42 DBS-06 caliber, a variant of 5.8×42mm.
The QBS-06 can be fitted with two types of bayonets, including the Type 95 and the Type 06, the latter being specifically designed for the QBS-06.
