Is the end of bullpups nigh?
>>31476676
Bullpups were only ever a meme

>put launcher on rifle
>launcher has a grip to work as a VFG
>put VFG on launcher

>he doesn't have a third arm
lmaoing at you
>>31477466
its pretty nice to have when you're fucking around with the launcher standalone
>>31478359
They tend to have stocks when standalone though, which I don't see there.
>>31478692
You can add the stock if you take the launcher off the rifle. Taking the vfg off the launcher when it's on the rifle would mean yet another item to keep track of.
>>31476676
The Israeli sold the Tavor to quite some countries (Thailand, India, Vietnam and maybe soon Ukraine). The Bong and Ausfalians and Austrians still use bullpup rifles. Singapore uses a bullpup. The Chinks use bullpups and sold them to different countries. Iran manufactured a bullpup. Poland has plans to make one. Croatia uses a pretty neat looking Hellghast rifle. So, I'd say that the bullpup design is far from being dead.

Also the potatofaggots, but it's a fair point that nobody cares about those.
And NZ as well as AUS.

>german made
As a french I'm fucking triggered.
>>31480032
h&k uses french alloy
less triggered now?
>>31476704
This.
>>31478692
>being this retarded
You use the foregrip when you use it standalone, and you take the stock off when you put it on a rifle.
Why the fuck is that so hard to process, noguns?
>>31476676
Wouldn't have happened if they kept their arms industry and upgraded to the G2 or another improvised version like the G2
>>31476676
>German copy of American gun that costs twice as much and with no added qualities other tha le red hk selector
Hmmm
>>31480032
>>31480046
>>31481297
Could the french not just copy a normal M-16, or the Canadian version?
I'm only concerned France is paying a fancy name, versus a quality gun.
>>31483052
Have you ever used a 416? Thing is fucking based.
>>31483052
No, france has no adequate infrastructure which is part of the reason they're dropping the famas besides the fact its shitty and old.
The British and the Australians are still using bullpups.
Australians just pout out the EF88 and the British are looking to upgrade their SA80s yet again.

Croatians also have a new bullpup rifle out.
>>31484158
British are stealth replacing their shit with C8s
>>31483052
Only European countries could submit to the trials and H&K submitted the only M16/AR-15 firearm.
>>31484174
No, they're not. Only select units in the Royal Marines and special forces have been recently purchasing the C8s.
If you're talking about the most recent purchase in the news, that's because the RMs wanted to use frangible ammunition since they're in nuke protection.
The army wide and whole will persist in using the SA80/L85 and there's very real talk in the A3 upgrades.
