Gun Review: 50 BMG Pullpup – GM6 Lynx
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 3/15/2018 | J Hines

Posted on 03/15/2018 9:55:58 AM PDT by w1n1

In every gun crowd there is a Bullpup rifle group.
But, you don’t often hear too much of the .50 BMG in a bullpup build.
The guys from Tactical Imports Corp shared a video of them strutting this bullpup style GM6 Lynx rifle.
Most .50 BMG are usually long rifle.
This GM6 Lynx is a semi-automatic .50 BMP bullpup houses a five-round magazine with a barrel length of 28.7 inches.
Just because its short doesn't mean it can’t pack a punch.
This bullpup may be the answer for those that think shooting a full size .50 BMG bulky. See the full footage of 50 BMG bullpup here.

I’d like one, but I would worry that I’d put my eye out.

That gun is very.... Kinetic.

Yeah, Kinetic is the word I’m looking for. It’s like riding a motorcycle with an exposed primary belt. I know guys who do it, but I can’t even imagine. I don’t want to go near theirs.

I wonder what the muzzle velocity of a bullpup vs. long rifle of the same caliber and powder weight would be? I would presume a bit higher but no data. Anyone?

You will put your shoulder and eye out.
That looks painful

From the recoil shown, it should be sold with a “future shoulder surgery” certificate, good at any local surgical facility.

Also looks like target grouping would be measured in feet or yards, not inches.

I’m no expert but as far as a Tavor bullpup vs. M4/AR15 rifles i believe the barrel length is the same; the difference is simply pushing the action back farther closer to your face. I think muzzle velocity is the same. They even use the same magazines!

(I love the AR but dangit...i really, REALLY want a Tavor)

On most bullpups, yes. The one in question, if I am seeing it correctly, has a shorter barrel, though only by less than 1/2". My thinking is that with less friction, a shorter barrel should produce higher MV than a longer one. I did find an article that discussed the very issue and their results were quite surprising. Looks like it needs more research but the table below seems quite comprehensive.

Length matters
