Looks like path of least resistance is out the front where the empties eject instead of out the side

All I can think about is what the hell happens to your head if God forbid you ever had a KABOOM with that rifle.
OUCH!


Probably nothing. "The breech is separated from the shooters face by two layers of 1.6 mm steel, with gas expansion directed downwards." It may blow the magazine out of the well but I think your head would be okay. A bullpup muzzleloader I saw is another story. That's more like holding a pipe-bomb to your head.

RFB Rifle     Accessories

The release of the RFB Carbine is being delayed 30 to 60 days. Expect the first shipment by February of 2009.

The delay is due to a re-tooling effort aimed at adjusting production in order to precede any future negative legislative actions that are likely imminent due to the incoming administration.

INTRODUCTION

RFB stands for Rifle Forward ejection Bullpup. This concept, enhanced by an improved tilting block breech, achieves over a foot of additional barrel at equal total weapon length.Furthermore, the stock and mechanism cross-section is similar to a conventional rifle, in stark contrast to existing bullpup rifles. The breech is separated from the shooters face by two layers of 1.6 mm steel, with gas expansion directed downwards.

DESCRIPTION
The RFB is a gas-operated semi-automatic rifle in 7.62 mm NATO caliber. It accepts standard FAL type magazines. Barrels vary from 18” to 32”.

All controls are fully ambidextrous, the reciprocating operating handle can be switched to either side. The trigger mechanism has up to five individual adjustment . The safety disconnects the trigger and blocks the hammer action.

A MilSpec picatinny rail is attached rigidly to the barrel. No open sights are provided. A free floating, four sided picatinny forend or bipod can be attached directly to the barrel at the base of oscillation.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Calibers :    Target    Carbine
Weight unloaded (no magazine ):    11.3 lbs    8.1 lbs
Length :    40"    26"
Barrel Length :    32"    18"
