Oh crap

Now i have to blog something...

Uhhhhhh.

Buddy at work has a kid obscessed with Call of Duty, and loves to categorize things to the littlest detail.  He asks his dad lots of questions, and dad is not a gunnie so I field some. 

His favoritest gun is the P90 and he calls it a bullpup.

But wait... hmmm, ya know... I guess that is a bullpup.  Threw me for a loop.  The magazine not being on the bottom, but, heck... the chamber is aft of the trigger.  By that definition, bullpup.

He wanted to know why the US didn't ever mess with them.  I said we did, but gave it up as bad juju.

I need to get him to document all this in an excel spreadsheet and drift over to ammunition next.

The Belgians make 2 things of note. Really fine chocolate, and kick-ass weapons.

The US may have given up on the bullpup, but the PS90 is nice. Though the version in 9mm parabellum is probably a lot cheaper to shoot.

Anarchangel had a post about why Bullpen is a bad design.
