Adopting an AR because it's the lightest, most ergonomic, and most mature fighting rifle in the world. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Adopting an AR because it's a commercial-off-the-shelf product and developing your own rifle is expensive. (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

You don't use bullpups because they're expensive, I don't use bullpups because how am I going to attach all my gadgets to it with all this plastic in the way?
I see your light, ergonomic, mature, inexpensive rifle design and raise you a weird obsession with developing new bullpup designs for some reason ~~ every military apparently
I think bullpups have a lot going for them and their disadvantages don't matter too much in an infantry context.
The FAMAS died because St. Etienne Arsenal died. The L85 is about to die because Enfield died. The Tavor is dying because ~~Israel gets free M4's from the US~~.
It all seems to have to do with economics rather than the performance of the AR or lack thereof of a bullpup.
FAMAS my love 😭

There is difference in the recoil ‘feel’ between a midlength gas DI, compared to a rifle length gas DI, compared to an anything length short stroke - but it’s super negligible for anyone who isn’t a high round count shooter.
The secret squirrel ninjas who shoot over 100k/year of government ammo can tell, but they’ll still trend towards the HK for suppressor and reliability reasons
