Italian "Bullpup" Submachine Gun Concept Unveiled, Futuristic Electronic PDW?

An online Italian firearms news website Gunsweek.com has published an article on a digital design concept put out by Italian firm Tecnostudio Engineering that consists of an interesting “Bullpup” submachine gun/PDW. The design incorporates a 15 (appears to be single stacked) or 25 round (appears to be double stacked) magazine that clips to the top of the design very similar to an FN Herstal P90 (known respectively as SMG-15, SMG-25), with rounds facing at a horizontal in relation to the muzzle direction. It also has an electronic round counter within the pistol grip. Some versions have a folding stock that appears to fold underneath the design, while others don’t. The charging handle is located at the rear of the receiver, similar to an MP7. The SMG-15 is intended for civilian purchase, without the stock, and is semi-automatic. The SMG-25 is intended for LE evaluation, with select fire features, and a wire stock. The purpose of this design looks to be in some sort of CCW/PDW capacity for LE agencies or civilian security companies.
