...In exactly where the Bullpup comes from and what its fellow variants are.

It's a pretty good gun, it's just damn heavy.

Imagine how much the L86 must weigh

 

[Temstar]

L22A2 loaded and with SUSAT sight is 4.4kg

Let's compare that with 2 other bullpup carbines:

F88C Austeyr (carbine based on Steyr AUG)
3.8kg loaded and with 1.5 x optical sight

QBZ-95B (carbine based on QBZ-95)
3.9kg loaded

Hell, a SCAR-H even with standard length barrel loaded is just over 4kg. You have a carbine here weighing more than a full sized battle rifle.

Hmmm...many bullp0ps

 

[acolyte_to_jippity]

where'd you get L22?

i don't see any L22 on that pic.

Cool never seen or heard of the L86.

Looks more like an LMG with the extra length plus stand

Everyone I've talked to who has used these weapons considers them poorly balanced garbage, except for one guy who thought it was decent and good enough. Last time I checked the Brits were considering replacing it with the G36 family. At least the polymer doesn't melt from bug spray in the A2 version... Not sure if the reciprocating charging handle will still break your teeth if you try to fire it from the left shoulder, though.

I guess it's nice to have in KF anyways, I've never seen the tanker carbine variant in any other game.

From what I can understand, the L22A2 is a carbine version of the L85A2 AFV (the KF bullpup)
