>what if we made...the rifle shorter?>genius! But...how do we deal with the loss of velocity and so killing power of the cartridge?>thats the thing...we dont!People really do all this instead of train a teeny tiny bit with a bullpup to get used to its ergonomics?
>>65402297Bullpups are gay and almost every country that used them are moving away from themCope and seethe homo
>>65402301are you a woman, that you base your thoughts based on what others do?
>>65402313>people stop using leaded gas>hurr r u a womyn?? XD
>>65402297There is no difference in killing power or real world armor penetration or range between a 20" barrel and a 14.5" barrel. And the difference is marginal even shorter than that.
>>65402332Jarvis show 5.56 from a 10.5 inch barrel vs a 20 at various ranges in soft targets. Btw youre not an army guy or a cop, youre a fag who would use it for home invaders or roving bands of looters
>>65402323people dont use leaded gas because regardless of who says so or not, it harms you. Bullpps being "objectively bad" is not something that can be objectively verified. Using its adoption rates as a measure is meaningless.
>>65402297Pro-bullpup here, but I dont think it matters. A guy getting shot at is just going to think the same things if he's getting shot at by an optimal or suboptimal muzzle velocity gun like "holy cow, I'm being shot at!" and probably thinking the same things when he does get shot, maybe something like "fuck, Ive been shot!">>65402345>youre a fag who would use it for home invaders or roving bands of lootersAm I supposed to be joining a legitimate military group in the middle of my boring day to day life where everything is relatively peaceful and I don't live in a warzone?
OP struck a nerve
>>65402371>Using its adoption rates as a measure is meaningless.Adoption rates, maybe. Abandonment rates on the other hand are absolutely a valid metric. Nearly every country using bullpups are making moves to, or have already, replaced them with conventional pattern rifles. Clearly consensus has been reached (in many cases independently) that whatever benefits bullpups offer simply aren't worth the squeeze.
