Yet another toy to add to my list:Kel-Tec RFB
RFB stands for Rifle, Forward-ejecting Bullpup. Why forward-ejecting? Because it allows the RFB to be the first truly ambidextrous 7.62 NATO Bullpup ever developed.
The patented, dual-extractor system maintains control of the case from the moment it leaves the magazine and upon firing, pulls the fired case from the chamber and lifts them to push them into an ejection chute above the barrel, where they exit.
The Bullpup configuration and tilting-block mechanism allow the 18" model to be only 26.1" long, or as much as 14" shorter in overall length than its competitors with equal barrel lengths.
--The MSRP is under $1900.
Chris Byrne wrote a fabulous rant on why the Bull pup is a bad design.

But they absolutely look cool. Not $1800 cool (to me, at least - I'm a cheap bahstahd), but cool.
Last Blogarado we had one at the range .. I came away unimpressed with it .
ReplyDeleteI have also wanted one since they first came out. I'm going to wait a while longer though, the prices are coming down (currently $1400-1600 on GB) and Kel-Tec still has some bugs to work out yet.
ReplyDeleteWith an Eotech it will be very interesting!
