Hi everyone

This is my invention, it is quite interesting, a hybrid between conventional and bullpup firearm. The goal is creating a single gun that can replace and combine advantages from both types. There are two methods:

1/ Reconfigurable firearm: a gun that can be reconfigured quickly on the field between conventional and bullpup forms, users can use whatever config they like. It is similar to modded gun, e.g. bullpup M14, bullpup AK, but the design allows the firearm to switch back and forth between two forms.

2/ Conventional bullpup: the name suggests a gun that looks conventional, with magazine loaded in front of trigger, but the barrel is located in the back like a bullpup. Cartridge is moved backward to feed the barrel, imagine a PKM but barrel is positioned further to the back.

Both types mentioned here can be made very simple and reliable. For example, in a reconfigurable firearm design, it only needs a collapsible stock and a linkage for the trigger, which already exist and doesn't affect characteristics like accuracy, rate of fire, weight, cost... So simple, but the invention can solve the issue between bullpup vs conventional designs, increase value and profit.

As the independent inventor, I am looking for feedback, comment, and cooperation to design, build and market this invention.

Below are the documents about concepts and the analyse about business opportunities:

Some advantages of my invention can be listed:

+ Next generation firearm: solve the debate between bullpup vs conventional firearms. This is one of the most important issue of firearm industry, and this invention is the first and only can do that.

+ 2 in 1 design: combine advantages from both layouts, so user gets the value and experience of two guns, with the price of one. This can increase profit per product.

+ The feature is easy to be recognized from external appearance, and can be integrated into film or video game which is good for advertisement.

+ Decrease the cost and risk of business: a single design which can replace both traditional layouts, is simpler to produce at larger quantity. Whatever users want, they can reconfigure it later, which will decrease the risk of market's acceptance.
