Bullpup Assault Rifles

[pmaitra]

Because bullpups maintains the assault rifles standard barrel length while being shorter in overall length.

First of all, bull-pup is not restricted to assault rifles. That is your wrong information. Secondly, bull-pups serve two purposes, and you are aware of only one purpose. Already explained. Still asking.

Less hinderance in close quarters.

Already explained, and common knowledge.

Read this and you will know bull-pup does not necessarily mean shorter rifle. I have given you an example. I have also given an example of an assault rifle serving as a sniper rifle.

You showed an INSAS assault rifle conversion. What do you want INSAS-sniper rifle??

Like QBU 88?

Why not?

Another good comparison would be the M89SR:

Note, the picture I posted (INSAS Bull-pup) is not a sniper rifle per se, it is still an assault rifle with better accuracy due to a longer barrel and can double up as a sniper rifle like the FN-FAL example I gave you.

I see..

Something like the Type 88 or SVU would be new to Indian armed forces.

It is not ambidextrous. You want the cases to fall down, not sideways.

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.

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

The barrel length remain the same in most cases..

MSBS 5.56mm

Same parts, Almost same barrel lengths..

 

[Kunal Biswas]

One can increase the length if he wants..

Usually seen on Sniper Rifles..

 

[W.G.Ewald]

Has the long trigger pull in bullpups been addressed in any way? Can you get a crisp trigger pull in any bullpup configuration?

 

[Apollyon]

But there's a significant increase in weight in Bullpup configuration (when barrel is lengthened keeping the overall length similar to the original configuration)...and weight do matter .....

Of course, longer the barrel, more the weight, better the accuracy; shorter the barrel, lesser the weight, lesser the accuracy. Pick one, can't have both. If accuracy is not required, then the current INSAS is good enough.

The exercise took place on Salisbury Plain in central southern England, the site of Stonehenge.

@pmaitra,

Looking at P90 i wonder, Why not to have a AR of the same deign, Indeed with some modifications..

On positive side it Mag can hold nearly 40rnds..

FN 5.7×28mm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The FN 5.7×28mm is a small-caliber, high-velocity cartridge designed and manufactured by FN Herstal in Belgium.[7] It is a bottlenecked centerfire cartridge that is somewhat similar to the .22 Hornet or .22 K-Hornet.[7] The 5.7×28mm was developed in conjunction with the FN P90 personal defense weapon (PDW) and FN Five-seven pistol, in response to NATO requests for a replacement for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge.[10][11]

Loved it!

Does it comes with iron sights ?
