Not at all. The barrel and bolt moves back toward your shoulder, inside the body of the weapon. Great CQB design.Quote:

[panic] You'll see them on gunbroker for 2-3k first.
i like that they're going to have 5.45 barrels available :)
When they come out with a 300 BLK conversion, I will sell stuff to buy one if I have to.Quote:

The Tavor (24") with a 16" barrel is shorter than the M4 (33" with stock extended for shooting) with a 14.5" barrel.Quote:

Another example is the Kel-Tec RFB (26" with a 18" Barrel) compared with a FN FAL(30" w/ a 17.2" Barrel) or a PTR-91 (40.4" with a 17.7" barrel)
In these examples a bullpup design makes perfect sense. The biggest flaw with most of the bullpup conversion designs is the triggers... or the trigger transfer systems because the trigger/hammer mechanism is so far removed from the actually trigger and they get a lot of creep and movement.
This thing looks amazing!
I have beenreallyhappy with my AUG, but I would like to try one of these too. Been wanting to try one for awhille.
I'd throw my FS2000 in a ditch for one...and I really like my FS2000
