@Kunal the rifle in my video is not the Trevor but the FN F2000. I thought that is why you posted reliability test on Trevor?

Looks like an awesome rifle...are they marketing it yet?
Yes, it's next gen Module-based Firearm System for polish army. It will be in two version:
bullpup for tanks, IFV's, truck, etc crews and normal assault rifle for infanty soilders.

MSBS-5,56 is redy now, and MoD shoud buy in this year some part of this rifle.

what is interesting - after test in Poland Tavor was rejected.

No, I have posted coz i find its unique..

FN-2000 is used by some South American Country in Marines, Indeed its needed maintenance just like M-16 but its very accurate and a good Rifle just like M-16..

Blue Arrow Left: Collapsible mono-pod.
Blue Arrow Right: Empty case ejector.
Red Arrow Left: Needs wood or fibre grip over metal mono-pod housing.
Red Arrow Right: Needs modification of handle for thumb guard.

Note:
  • Overall length of the rifle has been kept unchanged so as to facilitate a longer barrel.
  • The empty case ejector is downwards and is about 45 mm long. The length of an empty is case is 39 mm. Should be enough.


Done in MS paint, long back..

In bull-pup the firing mechanism goes in the butt, giving much space for rest of the barrel to contain inside the rifle, Hence you have a shorter Rifle yet retaining the same barrel length..
He means to increase it even further.

I don't see anyone else doing this.

What bullpop conversion does that??
I will answer that question, but first read on:

Why do you think people make bull-pups?

For 3 reasons:
  1. To increase the barrel length without increasing the length of the rifle.
  2. To decrease the length of the rifle without decreasing the barrel length.
  3. Trade-off between the two above.

Now, which bull pup configuration does not shorten the rifle but rather make the barrel as long as possible?

Keppeler KS V Bull-pup Sniper Rifle


However, that is not the point. Is it necessary to design something that has already been done?

Cause its usually like this



to this



Keeping the length of the barrel same, while reducing the overall length of the rifle.

Can you find any designers doing that to the assault rifle when they convert it to bullpup? Must be a good reason.:p



^^

I already gave you an answer in my previous post. Read it. Don't argue for the sake of argument.

I have also seen FN-FAL, which is an assaulr rifle, doubling up as a sniper rifle:


When they convert a assault rifle to a bullpup they never keep it the original length. Heres G3 conversion by the Iranians.

Yes, it serves the purpose of shortening the rifle without shortening the barrel. I did not shorten the rifle because I wanted to lengthen the barrel. How hard is it for you to understand?

For the second time, do you know why people use the bull-pup configuration?

Because bullpups maintains the assault rifles standard barrel length while being shorter in overall length. Less hinderance(compact) in close quarters.

Already explained, and common knowledge.


Show me ONE bullpup assault rifle that retains the original length with the butt.
