    Bullpup Assault Rifles

    I did not want to open a new thread on a bull-pup machine gun. Here is a modification of the PKM (Pecheneg) in bull-pup configuration, being held by Dmitry Rogozin.

    Bullpup Assault Rifles

    KelTec (FN FAL compatible) Bull-Pup Advantages: Need a compact rifle? Well, it's a bull-pup. Are you used to the Kalashnikov family? Well, you can charge using the right hand. Are you used to the FN-FAL or INSAS family? Well, you can charge using the left hand. Worried that the ejected shells...

    Bullpup Assault Rifles

    Of course it would never pass. It is a shoddy conversion of a standard Kalashnikov into a Bull-pup. There are two serious flaws: (1) the ejection port, and (2) the charging handle which can rip your cheek and jaw off if tried in left handed position. Unless these two issues are sorted out, it's...

    Bullpup Assault Rifles

    ^^ Looks like the gas pipe is under the barrel, like in PK. What I like about the VB Berapi LP06: There is enough ventilation to prevent overheating. Higher sights, that makes it easy to shoot whole standing, well, if there is a scope instead of that ice-cream scoop like thing...

    Bullpup Assault Rifles

    Well, it was believed that a rifled barrel is more accurate than smooth-bore. But when it comes to tanks, that does not hold true anymore. You never know who will come up with what technology. So, nothing is final.

    It comes with a P-rail, and the sights were attached to it. It has a laser pointer in the sight that is battery operated and can be adjusted using a knob on the side.

    Of course, longer the barrel, more the weight, better the accuracy; shorter the barrel, lesser the weight, lesser the accuracy. Pick one, can't have both. If accuracy is not required, then the current INSAS is good enough.

    It is not ambidextrous. You want the cases to fall down, not sideways.

    Bullpup Assault Rifles

    ^^ Why not? Another good comparison would be the M89SR: Note, the picture I posted (INSAS Bull-pup) is not a sniper rifle per se, it is still an assault rifle with better accuracy due to a longer barrel and can double up as a sniper rifle like the FN-FAL example I gave you.

    Bullpup Assault Rifles

    First of all, bull-pup is not restricted to assault rifles. That is your wrong information. Secondly, bull-pups serve two purposes, and you are aware of only one purpose. Already explained. Still asking. Read this and you will know bull-pup does not necessarily mean shorter rifle. I have given...

    Kunal, did you make that image? That image is pretty popular in Google Search! :) Good one!

    Bullpup Assault Rifles

    Yes, it serves the purpose of shortening the rifle without shortening the barrel. I did not shorten the rifle because I wanted to lengthen the barrel. How hard is it for you to understand? For the second time, do you know why people use the bull-pup configuration?

    Bullpup Assault Rifles

    ^^ I already gave you an answer in my previous post. Read it. Don't argue for the sake of argument. I have also seen FN-FAL, which is an assault rifle, doubling up as a sniper rifle: Source: http://14myrules.blogspot.com/2012/01/m14-m14-type-semi-or-fully-automatic.html

    Bullpup Assault Rifles

    I will answer that question, but first read on: Why do you think people make bull-pups? For 3 reasons: To increase the barrel length without increasing the length of the rifle. To decrease the length of the rifle without decreasing the barrel length. Trade-off between the two above...
