Time for a New rifle/Small arms system

[Pursuit Curve]

GF, I liked the solid feel, and most of all the accuracy. I never handled a M14 but I still see a few of them around configured as sniper rifles, and the USA has unloaded M14's to the Estonian Security Forces.

But the one Assault Rifle that has always impressed me is the French Bull Pup, though I cannot recall its name?

Isn't that the P90???

GF, I was refering to the FAMAS G series, I have heard alot of great things about it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the Famas the first in the line of Bullpups?

well, fast handling is an issue when switching from conventional rifles to bullpups, no matter how ergonomic the design is. things do require alot taking when rapid reloading is the issue, as newbie will fumble when pointing the bullpup rifle in the air and raising it to level with the magazine well. Also sighting with iron sights off the seemingly short receiver will look like bringing the front sight closer and pushing the target farther. special forces will have some problem at first when flying thru the windows SAS style in room clearing scenarios.........

not really, there were were a few other bullpup in service before famas joined the french army, i think AUG had made it out of the factory and into the field by then.
