>I purchased a mediocre bullpup, and have conclusively determined that all bullpups are bad because... it's a different (but not necessarily bad) manual of arms, and because there's not enough rail space to mount all my tacticool LARP gear (that 99.9% of people don't own or use)!
Well that was certainly a useless take. Since this is the forum I come to when I want nuanced and unbiased takes on things, what does /k/ think of 'pups?

I’ve tried them. I find them awkward especially for reloading. If you took a total nogunz and only ever taught them to use a bullpup it would probably be easier but take any soldier trained on an M4 or AK and they’re probably not going to like it much.

A mediocre bullpup is the best bullpup available.
>>
>>65151037
That's a result of cheap manufacturing, if you are going to have a long thin bar that you don't want to bent you need to harden it but hardening costs money.
>>
>>65151077
It's a mechanical problem.

Even if the linkage were hardened you still need to overcome the additional friction from and the mechanical force required of the trigger your finger touches -> moving on a pivot -> moving the linkage -> then actuating the actual trigger -> that trips the sear.

This is opposed to the conventional: Actuate the trigger -> trip the sear, which is what makes non-gay rifles have a superior trigger pull.

The AKB trigger is one of the better stock bullpup triggers I've tried. Very comparable to a milspec AR trigger. Never having owned a bullpup myself before this, it's a very handy gun for having an 18.5in barrel.

Just put the sear and hammer on the trigger and have the hammer hit the transfer bar. Fixed.

Bullpups are only slightly more accurate than a Glock with a switch, and they are for some reason simped on hard by the oddest of gun nerds(faggots)

>reddit spacer thinking his "opinion disregarded" opinion matters
>>
>>65151038
A recurring criticism Ive seen of bullpups both on /k/ and other sites is that they lack the sufficient real estate to C-clamp right by the muzzle. Shorter ones are too thick to put your thumb over (eg, a 16" Tavor with the old handguard), and longer ones have exposed barrel. Seems like training scars and learned helplessness to me, but its a relatively common complaint.

RFB does almost this, hammer is at the back but the sear is at the trigger so all the flex and slop only happens after the hammer is released. I am no trigger expert but it's pretty good. There are holes in the molding where it looks like they had planned to make a fully adjustable trigger for take up, over travel, and weight, but never did. You can do it w a 3d printer if you want to. Besides, 308 is way better than 223, and if you rest the front on an empty ammo can, it cleans up after itself. Poops right in the can.
>>
>>65151029
I think it's fascinating that we're having this conversation so soon after my boys at Basedcamp declared Bullpup Summer.

I only kinda sorta want a bullpup because I think the TS-12 is neat. I don't give a shit about an Aug or Tavor or any other non-short-stroke piston nonsense.
>>
>>65151097
>>65151077
Hardness does not affect stiffness.

You'd need something very thick, very well designed with stiffening features, a specific alloy, or a very low tolerance precision channel that would need a lot of lubrication or special materials.

this shit has already been solved, and you're trying to throw a fucking electrical system into the fray, the fuck is wrong with you?

kel-tec's rdb has a fantastic trigger, the aug has AR trigger packs that feel just fine, and the vhs-2 feels like a typical service rifle's

Now I don't expect you loose collection of teens, browntowns, niggers, and morons to quit posting retard shit like this anymore than I expect you same attention-whores to keep spamming .32acp and blackout trash because I've been on the internet for more than 10 minutes.

Why push bar in the first place when you can use pull bar? Bikes brakes can have excellent "trigger feel" when they transfer force at much longer distance, but they use pull cable.

I'm a britbong, troops going from the l85 to the Sharpshooter rifle do all sorts of funny shit at the start because most of them have only ever used bullpups. On the flip side, I've seen yank troops who brag about how many guns they own get hold of an L85 and they cant comprehend something that isn't an AR and its like they've never held a firearm before.

It's Tavor or nothing. Non-free floated any if the above seem to favor heavier loads. They're all not priced commensurately with ARs simply existing, regardless.

I like bullpups because an injury on my left elbow permanently reduced how far I can extend that arm.
So they're just more comfortable to hold and handle for me.

The Keltec RDB is usually touted as (if not having the best build quality) being one of the better designed bullpups from a user ergonomics perspective.
If you can't love an RDB after a day on the range, I don't think you'll love any bullpup.

What makes a bullpup worth learning when everyone already does it a different way? Being different IS a bad thing, this isn't the fucking special olympics, so what else does the format even bring to the table?
>>
>>65152045
The same reason people learn Klingon.

In fact, I'm pretty sure the people who simp bullpups are the same people who learn klingon.
>>
>>65152045
Because I won't be flopping around like a scared fish if I ever have to grab the nearest rifle that I haven't trained on specifically. Unlike someone who's married to ARs who goes all deer in the headlights when handed a Hakim and told to get cracking. Learning another gun takes all of five minutes if even and getting slightly proficient takes barely any time at all. Guns aren't martial arts, it doesn't take years to get good at shooting smiths and you're still not a master of shooting colts
>>
>>65152191
Oh yeah in case you get thrown into a warzone as a civilian with no experience or training.
>>
>>65152212
My point is, there's no reason to not try something different beyond being a curmudgeon. Though I guess you're one of those "guns are tools" types who believes in gun monogamy. Not a deep enthusiast like myself that has a matchlock, a marlin, a mauser, and a M4 all beside each other on the table when shooting. Not to imply such a mentality is lesser, but it is needlessly self-restrictive
>>
>>65151961
I'd buy an RDB with better build quality tomorrow. It's a great gun and great design the problem is that it suffers innately from "bullpup recoil" which is just stouter recoil inherent to a BCG slamming into your shoulder every time you shoot
>>
>>65151029
i don't care about bullpups and the military doesn't care about fags throwing a fit over their supposed superiority either.

And I don't care about what a bunch of brass retards think is a good idea. If you think the military is the final authority on what guns are good or not then why don't you own a P320? According to them it beats everything else
>>
>>65151098
I'll bite. It might work with piazo type setting, but trigger pull would likely go from bad to terrible.
Needing batteries to fire at all sounds also a bit bad idea.

I have found 5.56 bullpups to not really be worth it over conventional 5.56 rifles. The gains just aren't there to justify it. However, 308/6.5 sneed bullpups are a step up. Granted I only have experience with an MDRx in 308 but it changes everything compared to a conventional battle rifle and the equation all the sudden makes a lot more sense.

Semi auto pups are objectively the best style of rifle for pretty much all civilians. They are short enough to be handy without the extra legal bullshit and the only reason why anyone should want a "pistol" ak, ar, etc. Is for legality issues in woods where rifles and shotguns are banned.

You're supposed to dial in the adjustable gas system to your specific load, as well keep notes and make markings to change and revert if you switch loads. It should only ever be below the halfway point with the most anemic reloads and cheap steel case (RIP lol). Once you get it dialed, the gun shakes more from the dual hammer springs that register at 110dB when dry firing. I think there's a kit to remedy this.

RDB has a good trigger and it feels like an airsoft gun. I think keltec actually makes an AEG version of it and you know its the same fucking thing.
The first thing I did when I bought mine was go over and torque all of the screws. The top rail was loose.
I like mine and its been reliable.

When you adjust the gas system you gotta load 1 round in the mag. If it has a weird double feed you have to disassemble the whole fucking thing.
