Personal opinion only, on my part. I find them the UGLIEST firearms ever designed.

That, and the ejection pattern problems have never been satisfactorily adressed, and the balance of them feels...odd to me.

Fair enough, but something that works well can have a beauty all its own, no matter how butt-ugly it looks.

The only bull-pup I've handled was a Bushmaster pistol, and it indeed seemed very odd. That having been said, I would think there would be a lot of room to improve things.

One thing I was thinking would be cool as an operational concept if it could be made to work effectively would be a firearm which stripped rounds backward from a magazine located in front of the trigger group, shifted the rounds rearward through a secondary magazine. Rounds would eject out the top of the back, just behind the shooter's cheek.
