LOCKMARTMake the British Make Good Guns Again
sorrybookbrokeWait, I know I’m late to the party, but is that a bullpup sniper rifle?
Why.
I can’t see how a sniper rifle benefits from any of the positives of a bull-pup save for maybe the shorter profile being easier to store. Something a folding stalk would do just as well.
Why?
Not at all familiar with the gun. Please tell me it’s a regular rifle intented for a designated marksmen and not a real sniper rifle. I see the optic which pushes me in that direction
eRacThe SA80 is one of the early examples of the push to give everyone an optic.
While the SA80 is a service rifle, there is a prominent bull pup sniper.
In the early 80s, Walther made the WA2000. It was intended for urban counterterror operations, so it focused on portability and quick setup.
they only made 176 WA2000s and no military wanted them
That wood furnishing was just too sexy for the military
