What is a bullpup?

A bullpup is a firearm design that places the action and magazine behind the trigger group, in the rear of the gun. This layout allows for a shorter overall length while retaining a full-length barrel, making the weapon more compact and maneuverable without sacrificing accuracy or muzzle velocity.

Bullpup firearms are commonly used in military and law enforcement applications, as well as by civilians for sporting purposes such as hunting and target shooting. The design is often favored for its ergonomic benefits, as the rearward placement of the action helps to distribute weight more evenly and improves balance when compared to traditional firearm designs.

Some of the most well-known bullpup firearms include the Steyr AUG, FN F2000, and the Tavor X95. These weapons are often highly customizable and can be equipped with a variety of accessories such as optics, lights, and grips. Bullpup firearms are known for their unique appearance and innovative design features, making them a popular choice among gun enthusiasts.
