I love bullpups, but…

It's ugly and really doesn't give you much of an advantage over an AR pistol or SBR.

Saw that, ridiculous…..

Butt ugly! Now I wish I could up-see it!

I like ingenuity but some things do not need to be invented.

 

[Wannabewoodsman]

The only tactical advantage I see is a full length 16" barrel in a smaller package. But at most engagement distances you're not really gaining anything.

Sure a better powder burn for better velocities but at such close distances (25 yards and less) there's no advantage over an SBR or pistol.

That’s incorrect on several levels.

The velocity advantage alone of .223 out of a 16” barrel over that of a 8-10” is massive. It’s the difference between the bullet yawing and fragmenting or just being an ice pick, for starters…let alone temporary cavity effects.

I think we all want guns that function, but most of us also strive for pleasing aesthetics. This one doesn't have that.

Another answer to a question nobody asked. Ugly enough to wear the Kel Tec moniker-just needs a few too many pic rails.

Another thing, I'd hate having my right ear right next to the chamber when firing a shot.

In the real world in which we live though, that is civilian, the advantage isn't really that relevant. You got a 5.56 pistol and you shoot something at pistol ranges it's going to cause plenty of damage.

Even if the advantage is real and quantifiable, the juice isn't worth the squeeze IMO.

I wasn't aware the conversation was limited to the .223/5.56

Along with being butt ugly I was thinking about the same thing, everything going on right next to your ear. No thank you.

Now where’s my eye bleach I have to un-see that.
