Man, I love guns. I love the way they look, the way the feel, and what they do. I love their specs, their little ideosyncrasies, their infinite variety. Most especially I love guns for the same reason I love cars: they are just nifty little machines, that's all.
Here you'll find links to gun makers, gun lovers and gun historians. I will also include as many links as possible on unusual and homemade guns, since the time is obviously coming when we won't be able to buy any. Enjoy!
and remember:
only YOU can prevent tyranny
I think the reason is sheer cussed conservatism. People simply don't want to change. With guns this is somewhat justified, since a proven design is reassuring where life and death are concerned: you want something that you know will work. But bullpups do work, and beautifully. They work a lot better than trad guns in a lot of ways. I suppose, as with racing cars, success will be the only thing to convince people. Until Lotus (in Formula 1) and Don Garlits (in drag racing) adopted mid-engines, everyone sneered at them. Now they are standard. I hope that someday bullpups will be standard for long guns (though if that happens they'll be short guns). Until then, here are some current examples I've dug up on the net:
The AKU 94 from K-Var is a bullpup conversion for the AK-47 and its variants. This is NOT merely a set of forward-trigger stocks, but a complete metal-stamped and forged kit that uses the action from your existing AK. In fact, they claim even many of the internal parts are replaced in the kit. It looks sharp as hell and all I can say is, I WANT ONE!
Prairie River Arms makes the "famous" Bullpup Muzzleloader for all you blackpowder loaders out there. I dunno how famous it is: I never heard of it until I did my search. Then again, I am not a muzzle loader. The one testimonial they've got so far is glowing; the guy won a shoot with it. What else do you need?
The Bushmaster M17S is perhaps the most famous bullpup in America after the Steyr AUG. Comes with a post-Brady 10rd. clip, but will accept any AR-15 clip. As with all bullpups, it looks cool as hell too.
I never knew FAMAS was not only the name of a gun, but the bame of its manufacturer. That means the gun doesn't really have a name. Fuckin' French!
If you have a Ruger 10/22, Mini-14, Mini-30 or Marlin #60 or #70, maybe MWG's Muzzelite Bullpup stocks are for you. These zoomy, black, futuristic stocks look like something right out of science fiction, yet they use very common contemporary actions. Pretty cheap, too. Can you imagine holding off an FBI raid with one of these? Hey, they deserve to be intimidated!
The Security Arms Bullpup Sub-Gallery is my own little list of photos from Security Arms.
STEYR of Austria makes the famous AUG, which stands for Armee Universal Gewehr (Universal Army Rifle) and not Awfully Ugly Gun as some people think. Personally I find it a bit awkward, but Peter Kokalis loved it. He says it has "sinister efficiency." I say the 2-stage trigger should be used to activate lasers on guns equipped with them. What do you say?
Most people don't know that Steyr also entered the Advanced Combat Rifle competition back in the 1980s. The website says they're still working on it. I really like the forward ejection, though I can do without the flechettes. Trouble is, you'd need a unique cartridge for that to work. Even a side-ejector with regular 5.56 NATO would be worthwhile, though.
The very cool SVU Sniper Rifle is made by KBP in the city of Tula in Russia and is only issued to Russian Special Forces troops - or so says Valery Stilin.
