Topic: Bullpup or classic rifle design?

Shadowalker · December 29th, 2005

Which do you prefer the classic rifle design e.g. M-16 or the more modern bullpup design e.g. Steyr AUG?

I prefer bullpup because it allows you to have a long barrel without having a weapon so long it's cumbersome.

I prefer the "classic" design...it's what I'm trained on, and I find it less cumbersome to reload, among other things.

Classic version for the moment but it is gonna change

With more and more of the infantry combat being a strictly urban affair, I feel that bullpup is going to be the neccessary compromise to make.

Although I loved the SLR, I am a big fan of the Steyr AUG. So I voted for Bullpup design, because I've found it to be a very handy, very accurate, and very easy to use.

Classic, the bullpup is okay for small, special squads working in close ranges.

Yes, but fighting in buildings and out of Humvees is the way wars are wom now-a-days. There arn't big maneuvers around pastures and farmhouses anymore.

For rifles I'm for the classic design. For CQB I think that the FN P90 takes the cake.

Prefered the SLR, enjoy the compactness of the Steyr and the off the shelf add ons for it.
M4 is pretty good too if you like the M16 family of weapons.
