I know Rex hates bullpups but like why would I wait 12 months when I could buy a Tavor tomorrow? Not a snarky question I'm just legitimately curious
All of what goodie said. There's the "pistol" shortcut as well, since you can now shoulder pistol braces without the ATF shooting your dog, and you can run as a "pistol" until your paperwork comes back, so you don't HAVE to wait 12 months. Then you have parts commonality, manual of arms, etc. It's yet to be seen, really, if bullpups offer an actual tactical advantage over an SBR considering their disadvantages. (Poor trigger, crap ergonomics, forced right or left use, etc) Quite a few militaries have adopted them, but many militaries have also abandoned them. (France, for example.) The UK bullpup is universally hated by everyone who has ever shouldered one, so I'm guessing that's on the chopping block as well.
It remains to be seen if bullpups in general are just a novelty.
