So, night shift sucks, but I do get a 15% pay bump for nights.
So, I'm thinking a new rifle is in order. ARs are as unique as LEGOs and just aren't appealing to me . I'm thinking 5.56 and something a little different.
My short list right now is:
FS 2000
Pros- Bullpup is short and handy even with a 19" barrel.
Seems well engineered. F2000 has passed military trials.
Completly ambidextrous.
Cons- Mag stuffed in armpit.
Reports of failure with the ejection tube.
No bolt hold open.
SCAR-
Pros- Elements of the design stolen from my favorite rifle, the AK.
Reasonable manual of arms.
Cons- Reports of breakages.
Long.
Cancelled by US .mil and may run out of support in future.
Tavor
Pros- Israelis aren't known for making bad weapons.
I like the design.
Bullpup is short and handy.
Cons- Currently vaporware in teh States.
Can only be fired from right shoulder. Changing ejection requires LH bolt.
BSW
