Title: I want one . . .
Post by: Pathfinder on September 09, 2009, 02:22:13 PM
Not sure why, but I have always liked bullpups. And this one is a shotgun, 12ga no less, soon to have a drum magazine instead of that ridiculously long stick mag.

I'm with you, but I'd rather have that AA-12

Drum no good, it will set to far back, and will probably whack you with every shot, not to mention the lousy balance.

most bulpups are ugly as a retarded mole.

this, on the other hand is sexier than a custom made 1911.

 Jackel, is that the Enfield, or the French one ? I KNOW it isn't the Bushmaster because I made some of the forward hand gaurds for them, (They sub contracted them to T/C, About 2,000 Century FAL's had T/C cast receivers as well. )

That's the Brit L85...hopefully that's an L85A2 that HK reworked to make the rifle system more reliable.

Here's my only exposure to a bullpup.  So far, so good...

Izhmash Saiga-12, 12 ga
CAI Golani, 5.56x45 mm (Galil clone)
MSAR StG556-E4, 5.56x45 mm (Steyr AUG-A3 clone)

Hmmm...maybe I could slap my Saiga-12 into that stock kit...

How has that gun not gotten on the ugliest thread?  All bullpups are for dirty Europeans, uneducated conclusion :).  FN has done the best on bullpup IMO, clean, sleek, and lean.  The Euro military weapons are just visually offensive, do they work, don't know personally, but I'm going to continue shooting rifles thank you.  They work well if you've got a bunch of folks that can't shoot far.  Make a good crew issued weapon for those that don't find themselves flying through magazines or putting fire down three hundred yards away.

I tell you though, I'm a bit uneasy about the bullpups that don't have the trigger guard over the actual trigger, like the AUG.

I wonder when we will start seeing these shotguns at the 3 gun shooting events?

I believe that when H&K took the company over they straightened out all the functionality problems and Brit troops are fine with them now.

I remember hearing that during the 1st Gulf war they had a lot of trouble with sand jamming them up.
