to me i dont find them ergonomic, but i dont like pistol grip weapons either. I prefer a straight stock, it feels natural to me and is much easier to carry. What i never understood, is the dsr-1 and other bullpup bolt guns. They make absolutely no sense, nobody uses a bolt action in close quarters and its so slow to turn the bolt on one.

One of the things I find interesting is how so many countries have adopted bullpup weapons, and yet their SF all use M16s and M4s. Take a quick look at the list of countries that use M16s and M4s and you'll see a whole bunch that use Steyr AUG, L85, FAMAS, etc. and then their SFs use the supposedly terrible American black rifles that are heavier, "out dated" (based on a 50-year old design), and not so "space age" in appearance. I think it says something that anyone who has a choice buys our service weapons.
