Bullpup
A "Bullpup" is a type of firearm design where the action and magazine are located behind the trigger. This configuration allows for a shorter overall weapon length without sacrificing barrel length, making it more compact and easier to handle. Bullpup designs are often used in military and law enforcement applications due to their maneuverability in tight spaces.
Common examples of Bullpup firearms include the Steyr AUG and the FN P90. These weapons typically feature a unique layout that can enhance balance and control, appealing to shooters who prefer a more streamlined profile.
