Primary consideration should always be accuracy and range rather than reliability. The latter is a secondary consideration.

The main use of a rifle to kill people and so accuracy and range trumps reliability.
What a silly opinion.
What if the soldier suddenly discovers his ACCURATE gun ain't firing ....?

Well people should consider the options in the poll.
My opinion is
1) Reliability
2) Range
3) Accuracy
4) Ergonomics( ease of use )

If your Gun jam before you fired your first round what is the use of accuracy ?

Accuracy > The training and skill of the person, Depends on type of round, the type of sights he use, the rifle deign..

Reliability > Depends on Rifle 95% and rest 5% how he maintains it..

X-95 has a barrel of 13.0"/330mm the M4 has a barrel of 14.5"/370mm how is that longer than the M4?
My bad, Its M4 slightly longer than X-95



If you would notice they have the Milled receivers which are very common with the Bulgarian AK's and not the AKM clones OFB produces which have stamped receivers and have orange polymer like the INSAS.
OFB not only Produce Orange fiber AKM but black, through out time changes been seen in OFB AKMs..

The overall length of the M4 carbine is 740mm and the barrel length is 262mm.
The X95 version here is the MTAR 21 which has an overall length of 590mm and barrel length of 330mm.
I am yet to see a Bullpup assault rifle longer than a conventional assault rifle.

It's not just the furniture, furniture can be changed in each and every single AK on the planet.

OFB does not manufacture Milled Receiver AK's, Arsenal does.

No M4 has a 262mm Barrel.A M4 has a 14.5" or 368mm Barrel.

Colt M4 Carbine

Although here for some reason it states the barrel length is 355.6mm, One of my assumptions is they must not be including the flash-hider in the barrel length.

M4 CARBINE with barrel length 370mm is 840 mm long.
M4 carbine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CQB assault rifle a variant of the M4 is 740mm long with barrel length of 260mm.

Check your sources.

The longest version of the tar21/x95 is 720mm with a barrel of 480 mm.

Do you know why the world armies adopt bullpups??
Here the reason
The bullpup design places the gun's action behind the trigger, in front of a short buttstock. This decreases the firearm's length and weight while retaining the same barrel length. Bullpups generally allow for a 25% reduction in weapon length, which allows for better maneuverability in confined spaces

We wouldn't be in this discussion if you had been specific as to which M4 variant you meant.And I sincerely apologize for not knowing which 262mm barrel M4 variant you were talking about and I wrongly assumed it to be a M4 Carbine, obviously I am automatically supposed to assume it was a Mk.18.

And what am I supposed to do with that?I was talking about the X-95 specifically also knows as the MTAR-21.

No I don't want to know because I never asked about why bullpups are advantageous to conventional layout rifle.

That was a piece of GK for you.

That was specially because you don't make a fool of yourself by claiming a shortened version of the bullpup being longer than a carbine.

This is my pic, It was taken long ago..

The AKM was of OFB with a unique Gas regulator, The AKM is in service within 9th para..
Do you have closeups to show the Receiver Markings?Anything else besides you that proves it isn't a Bulgarian?

BTW Small correction a AK with a milled receiver is called a AK47 one with a stamped receiver is called a AKM.That is probably one of the most distinguishing factors between each of them.
