Damn you, Ian, now I just have to post this one
and are you sure that EM-1 is delayed blowback rather than locked? IIRC it was gas operated gun...
What is that in the picture?
Edit: Never mind, just found it.

I only have one bullpup, but I'm a huge fan. Great trigger and it balances well with the suppressor.

.308 M600 Remington from a Brown Precision Ultra light (with broken glue in and no guarantee , broke at wrist) I had Golembinski at Kodiak Precision put in my neighbor George Petersons xp100 bull pup. Because I wanted it to be a 6 shot repeater it cost an extra bundle to fabricate the 1911 style trigger linkage . Has a pretty good 3 pound trigger! The 8x56 scope with German picket works well for what I use it for and I never finsished the stock yet! It will print 3/4" groups with nosler 150 reloads for a full mag rapid fire with no group movement . Forgive the .35 Remington, I don't think I haver another shot of it.

Here's an unusual hunting bullpup for you:

So if a bullpup handles well for me but since it's being not being used competitively it's really not handling well for me?

Really? You don't think other factors are the reason why you don't see them dominating competitive shooting? Don't you think availability, diversity, expense, support, etc. are a far more likely reason?
The fact that bullpups don't dominate competition shooting simply suggests that bullpups aren't optimized for competition shooting.
I think it's worth pointing out that several pretty significant military forces have decided to adopt bullpups on a very wide scale, like Austria, England, China, and France. Military requirements do not exactly parallel competition requirements, though. A good example would be mag changes - a bullpup will probably never be able to be competitive with an traditional layout for speed of mag change. The extra second or two is a big deal in a high-volume type of competition like IPSC rifle matches, but more or less insignificant to a military procurement.

I'll try to find the video on the Kel-Tec prototype 5.56, it is even faster.

I just have to ask if you have ever handled a bull-pup before? We see several of them in 3-gun shoots at our range, and they are very competitive.
I was raised on conventional firearms, and always thought the AUG was a alien and uncomfortable look to it, but the first time I handled one I fell in love and have owned several, finally settling on an A2 with a NATO stock and the accessories for it.
AR's aren't the only ones that are like Barbie Dolls!
My other bull-pups ...
My most recent acquisition, a custom Bushmaster M-17S

Bit late to this thread, but...
In a bullpup configuration, does the placement of the moving parts, most importantly the bolt, closer to your body aid managing recoil?

I don't think the placement of the moving parts has much effect, but having the rifle's center of gravity closer to your body sure doesn't hurt.
Kimberkid, I see you have what are two of the three worse bullpups made in the 17S and GP-1974, I've also got what is probably the worst, the Norinco AK bullpup:
The pistol grip interferes with 30 round mags, you can use them but barely.

I agree with Wally about the moving parts, I thinks it helps a little.
The M-17S on the other hand, the company that made the custom rails also makes a trigger upgrade that improves the gun by 200% and if you're an idiot too and willing to spend as much as the gun costs (or more) you can really trick it out ... it's still no AUG, but its not bad ... Other than its not ambidextrous (which i don't care about) I like it a lot better than say the FN FS2000.
