The main problem I see with bullpups is that ejection issue. Weapons such as the Tavor, Steyr AUG, FAMAS, and SAR-21 can all be readily converted to left hand ejection using either the same parts, or a conversion. The draw back is of course that what ever shoulder you fire from is the only one you can use, or so the argument goes. I have never fired a rifle from the left. Granted I am not currently in the military, so I do not know if that is a tactical requirement or not.
Bullpups do solve alot of issue in carbine size weapons given the fact that you maintain barrell length, and as such maintain velocity. Also a well designed bullpup can be more balanced then a traditional rifle because the weight of the action can counter balance the barrle.
As for the mag changes, I will give you that that is slower, but after some practice I've gotten almost as quick on my M-17 as on my AR.
I love bullpups, how they look and how they shoot, I wish that there were more of them on the civillian market!
