I don't know of any bullpup with a bolt handle that reciprocates and/or is placed close enough to hit someone in the face. And shooting a normal AR may in fact pelt you in the face with brass anyway. They really like to eject almost straight back, even with a brass deflector.

"Being a proficient shooter" has a million different meanings to a million different people, and I'm doubtful that many are even close to proficient with their non-dominant hand as they are with their dominant hand. I agree that the ability to shoot with your non-dominant hand is a very valuable trait to have, especially if you're talking defensive situations, but it's necessity is weighed down by individual perceptions of proficiency, and of course the cost of ammo and time needed to train your non-dominant hand.
