I was just noticing that the ejection port is on the left side of the SAR. Won't those righties burn their arms on the casings? I was just wondering, it seems like the rest of the BWs eject on the right.

BTW, why does RS hate bullpups so much?

For one, noone has sponsored one, and two, Bullpup weapons are rather overdone nowadays.

Bullpup weapons are "rather overdone" these days? I mean, there's probably a reason for that, right? Like you can have a weapon with a full-length barrel, but a compact profile.

I'm guessing it's RS's aesthetic preferences (I happen to like bullpups myself), so it's all cool, but I just thought the concept of the SAR (and probably the AM67, that's a long barrel!) would make perfect sense in a bullpup configuration. Incidentally, there's a real life rifle called the SAR-21, which is a bullpup design.

But to each their own, surely every gun-nut has their own favorite aesthetic designs. Lol, I begin to suspect RS intentionally built the SAR-12 to eject on the right so that it couldn't be a bullpup (brass to the face, eh?)!

I asked that question about the SAR-12 too. :p

Its just for aesthetic reasons. :D

As for a lack of bullpup styled guns, well, its likely not due to however "overdone" it is, but likely, that there is only 3 conventional assault rifles, one of them sponsored (so that was purely RedShift's design), and one is an M16 styled weapon, which doesn't work as a bull-pup, but is a very good standard assault rifle, and the SAR-12 has a collapsible stock, something very useful for the conditions its often used in. Not too sure about this, but I'd think a collapsible stock wouldn't work to well in a bull-pup configured gun. ;)

Also, the SAR-12 was designed some time ago, and they wanted to put it in for a while. When they designed it, I'm sure they had something very specific they wanted.

Of course, I would never mind a few extra assault rifles, with several of them being of bull-pup design. :D

Wait, a bullpup revolver? How on earth would that work?

Edit: Hehe, yeah, I figured that was the case.

Sorry, I meant to type AM67, don't know why D49 came out. I'll edit that.

Yeah, a bullpup should pretty much have the stock it needs, no point in folding.

Eh, who knows, if BW keeps on truckin', Nvidia fixes their drivers, and I can get a server running BW in my house, I may just sponsor something. I've never run a server before, I don't know how I'll rein in all the server packages I want to use.
