That's just an indictment on bullpups in general, and while many recent bullpups have tried to fix the trigger issue, I don't think there's anything you can do about the reloading issue. That hasn't stopped designers from designing bullpups and forces from adopting them, however.
In terms of specific bullpup designs, however, most of the bad-mouthing I've heard comes at the expense of the SA-80 family.
It's worth noting that Australian spec ops groups, like the British SAS, also use AR-15 type weapons instead of the bullpups that their regular troops use.
