@freemo I hunted down references and wrote something up. Unfortunately, it will not fit in this !#$!% 500 character limited space. So I uploaded it as a LinkedIn article.

Bullpup is ideal for midrange since they are lighter and shorter for the equivelant non-bullpup.
If its just a preference in style then yea, do what makes you happy. But other than that sounds like you dont have any reason to rule one out.
Why no bullpup?
@AncientGood Thank you.
Bullpups may jam more easier due to the complex mechanisms, but you really need to evaluate that on a model per model basis.
The biggest advantage is you get a longer barrel for the same size gun. Longer barrel means more accuracy at range.
There is the added benefit of your ejected bullets not flying in your face.
Outside of military the main benefit is you can have a shorter gun while still being legal as the barrel is the legal size. This is an advantage in close quarters where a shorter gun gives you an advantage around corners.
@khird yea i havent addressed responsiveness just yet... but thanks for the catch.
I will make it so when the screen gets too small it changes formatting yea.
> So, I don't know my gun stuff very well. What is a bullpup?
A bullpup is a design where the barrel of the gun excends into the butt stock of the gun. So the entire gun becomes a barrel rather than 2/3rds of the gun as in a usual gun. This arrangement requires more complicated loading mechanisms.
> And the bullpups in the picture have extensions, right? What type of extensions are those?
If by extension you mean that piece on the underside of the gun, then yes. That's a grenade launcher attachment.
@realcaseyrollins I love myself a good bullpup... more barrel for the same length gun.
Particularly nice if you want a short gun since shortening the barrel is quite restricted.
@TEG I think thats ok. Anyone who goes there is likely actively looking for a particular piece of information like my email. I think im ok witht he casual passerby not caring.
@TEG I think its ok if it doesnt mean anything to you.. but does that lack of understanding cause you issues in understanding the rest of the information?
@TEG syncleus is down right now, will be back up soon.
Which "numbers in the left hand color" you mean the pgp keys?
