Keltec RDB Review - A Truly Ambi Friendly Bullpup

Описание: In my quest for a suitable ambidextrous bullpup, I ultimately ended up with the Keltec RDB. Having tried various other bullpups, they were all unsuitable in one way or another. While not inherently bad on their own, they did not do what I wanted them to.

So the Keltec RDB comes along, which ended up being a perfectly fine rifle for what it is. The points however show why these kinds of rifles do not take off more. Just the two sources I can think of, Nutnfancy and Hop, have extensive reviews into these RDBs and bullpups in general. Their experiences mirror my own.

Essentially, bullpups like this do not really do anything better than a standard rifle and often come with disadvantages compared to standard rifles. Unless you truly need a very short overall length, there is not really enough to justify taking bullpups like this over conventional rifles. Again, nothing inherently wrong with the functionality of this particular rifle, but it just doesn't do anything better than my ARs.

With that, my bullpup search is likely over and my questions have been answered. A cool concept, but it doesn't do the rifle concept better overall than anything else.
