I was interested until I saw the location of the magazine.
I feel that somehow it would be in the way.

...a weapon that has a 16.3-inch barrel, is around 28 inches overall, and weighs just under 8.4 pounds empty... Weight is right up there, approaching an M14 or M1...

"I feel that somehow it would be in the way." Why? It looks to me like it protrudes less than those on a standard AK. This appears to be higher up and more "out of the way".

That could be. Getting smacked in the cheek with those hot cases would be no fun for lefties.

YAY, GUNS!!! Indeed!
“The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.” – Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Cartwright, 5 June 1824

Can you imagine how sloppy a bullpup trigger is on an AK?

The Malyuk looks like it might be fun out on the range.

The Malyuk looks like it might be fun out on the range. Fun is important for me (as is ease of cleaning ;>)!

Just struck me - isn't "mal" the Spanish word for "bad"? And "yuk" is the English word for "yuk"...

A key quote from the article:
“However, it’s unclear whether they were provided, even in part, by the Ukrainian government, or were acquired commercially or donated to those units. “
Sure…”donated”. You mean stripped off dead Soviet soldiers?

There were plenty of Great Patriotic War arms (Russian and German alike) from Soviet war reserves that didn’t get sold off to the West.
Much of what came to the US surplus markets 20-30 years ago came out of Ukraine, and I was told by more than one importer that the supply hadn’t run out so much as the governments decided they wanted too much money for them.

Has any bullpup rifle design really been a success? While they are more compact, at the same time the idea seems a lot like a solution in search of a problem.

The IDF is still using Tavors but they’re reportedly phasing them out through their reserve units.
