-- Hah... I never knew that gun was actually manufactured in Australia. I always assumed it came from somewhere in Europe. It is pretty funky looking. I think the A3 variant was in Bad Company 2? Games are pretty much the only experience I have with guns lol. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Steyr_AUG_A3.jpg) | ||

America has tried to come up with many bullpup type designs but they all get scraped. They have so many branches of military, it would take a huge logistical feat and large amount of of funding to phase out the ridiculous amounts of heavily modified and customized AR15s. I remember reading about the Army trying to replace their standard Berreta sidearm but it took to much effort and they kept it as is. | ||

Which gives you a short barrel, than the AK, with much better maneuverability, it has a reflex sight. You can see down the sight and uh its a tritium (i think) sight so it doesn't need batteries. BANG BANG BANG BANG, if starcraft marines had these rifles, they would be killing zombieclown(zerg/terran/toss) all day. The only thing about this rifle is that it has a bullpup design. The whole setup is about 2000 dollars, so I hope you enjoyed this blog. and I almost forgot... Is this photoshopped? | ||

You always see it on the news but I just think of Counter-Strike every time. I think New Zealand does too but I'm not sure about this. | ||

Is this photoshopped? Oh, silly. Think much more expensive and complex when it comes to editing tools. | ||

![[image loading]](http://en.valka.cz/files/sar21_118.jpg) Singapore's version. It looks baller, it's easy to strip/assemble/clean, the factory 1.5x 'scope' is factory zero-ed, and it's pretty accurate. It's a little bit heavier than a M16 though so that kind of sucks... | ||

They're pretty much better than standard assault rifles in every way possible. Standard bullpups have the same potential range as standard assault rifles and they're viable in close quarters environments at the same time. Have you ever tried reloading one at speed? I like how the designs of bullpup type weapons force you to keep tight, but anybody with training does so instinctively. It really only helps brand new shooters. The design of the platform makes it very awkward to reload at speed. No matter how proficient you become at doing it, you WILL be slower then a traditional M4/AR type platform. | ||

I can't imagine it being as easy since the mag is behind your handle and that is a major support point, I'm only experienced with firing the valmet rk-62 at 150 meters. | ||

Having said that, I don't know how one would shoot in a prone supported position with a bullpup. | ||
