Really hard to argue with the size of the package compared to even an SBR, and no stamp required, plus full length barrel for full horsepower.
You might want to have a look at a Steyr, if they are to be had. Moon |

I finally picked up a AUG last summer because it's such a sexy bitch. Just dropped coin for a 16" BBL, it is a handy little thing and shoots far better then I expected.

A friend has an FS2000, I'd lkke it alright if it could use mags other than USGI, he did something to the trigger and it isn't bad. I had an AUG until about 1995, it was short & handy, but the donut reticle sucked, and the trigger was even worse.
They aren't anywhere near as ergonomic & quick to change mags as an AR, but they have a place. If you could have a really nice trigger in one, and the controls were as ergonomic as the AR I'd love them. |

I have an MSAR STG 556 E4 that I love, short, accurate, almost no recoil, and takes standard AR mags (including Pmags), what's not to love.

My only (functional) bullpup is my RFB. Where else will you get 20rd of semi .308 in such a small package?

OP nailed it. I'd have a couple if the prices were on par with an AR with similar features (16" barrel, etc.) Same reason I don't have SCAR17 or a Masada (whatever Remington/Bushmaster renamed it anyway...)

All the energy of a decent round is wasted as noise. The more noise it makes, the more energy escaped that didn't push the bullet.

Last fall I was giving serious thought to selling my beloved Israeli light-barrel FAL and replacing it with a "Tactical Tuna" aka FS2000. I couldn't quite work myself up to actually do it, and I kinda' regret it now. Being a lefty bullpup-lover I was eyeballing the MSAR last summer but I heard less-than-stellar things about it and its reliability.
It's a moot point now, I guess. |

I really like the idea of a bullpup, and was seriously considering the FS2000 the last time I walked into a gunshow. I held one, and it just felt...clunky, I guess. I couldn't justify spending the money on it given how awkward it felt just playing around with it at the show.
I feel like there's a design out there, or will be someday, that I'm going to finally run across and fall in love with. It just hasn't happened yet. |

I have FN and MSAR bullpups. I like 'em,some don't. Maybe I just got a really good one but my STG is an exceptionally well made gun and I've had good luck with it. I only have about 150 rounds through the FN,no knocks on the gun just not enough time to shoot em when my rifle shooting window is a couple hours 1 day per week.

A long barrel also burns most of the powder inside the barrel - which means less muzzle flash - and can be quieter, too. I like the low barrel location that most bullpups have. Moving the barrel's centerline down closer to your shoulder is good for reducing muzzle rise. It's not an ideal arrangement for iron sights...but I'm a red dot guy anyway. |
