Left Shoulder Bullpup Shooting

http://www.chaosandrage.com/

Can you shoot a conventional bullpup from the left shoulder?

The conventional wisdom says no, but what proof do they offer?

Here, I take 6 1/2 bullpups (rifles and a shotgun) and run them off a bench and in movement drills and let you see all the results for yourself.

The results may surprise you.

We'll be discussing this in the Rifle Combat Tactics subforum of Suarez International's Warriortalk forums.

Thanks for the video. As a left handed shooter and wanting to get a bullpup, this really helps out. I'm really thinking that the Mossberg 500 would be the best bet simply because you have more control over where the shell goes since you have to load the rounds in. Thanks for the video and happy shooting!

@ILPrepper You're welcome and happy shooting to you too.

Well, you don't have the ejection 'problem' (or rather discomfort) with the FN F2000 as shell casing are 'extracted' up front of the rifle. The IWI Tar-21 Tavor's ejection port can be changed left or right as well, IIRC. So, zhe problem is mainly one for the 'old' generation bullpup.

@Briggs1700 Your comment misses the point of the video.

It's not which new fangled cool guy gun can I buy?

It's not, what parts swap can I do when I'm not taking fire?

The point is: If you're stuck with a conventional bullpup and taking close in fire where you must more quickly and return fire OR clearing a building with left and right corners.

Can you do all that's necessary to survive, move, and shoot accurately with a conventional bullpup?

Yes you can.

Damn dude, you were taking more shots to the face than a Valley Girl in need of cash.

@anteracmacash I have. They're very nice rifles. But not everyone can use them.

[anteracmacash]

@John234pwns google : "Kel-Tec RFB" and "FN F2000"

[John234pwns]

@anteracmacash Of course. But our friends who use bullpups *have* to practice this sort of thing because they can't exactly choose rifles. Britain uses the L85, France the FAMAS and the Aussies the AUG, all rifles with opposite hand ejection problems.

Maybe ranger green would be more suited than the MC.

@John234pwns a foward ejection bullpup will increase your chances any day of the year ;)
