If you could own just one bullpup rifle?

[Kynoch]

If you could own just one semi-automatic bullpup rifle, which would you choose?

 

[HorseSoldier]

Semi-auto EM-2 (and a conex full of .280 British ammo to go with it).

 

[OneWound]

Either a Kel-Tec RFB or IWI Tavor

 

[Chevelle SS]

AUG hands down

 

[C-grunt]

Steyr AUG.

 

[FrankCastleThePunisher]

The Tavor simply b/c the Tavor has 1/7 rifle twist and the Aug has 1/9 twist. The Tavor is a little lighter than my Aug 3 NATO CQC and shorter. But I like both rifles really well.

 

[taliv]

the FN products are ambidextrous without changing bolts/covers.
i don't have any hard data, but my impression is the MSAR clone is better than the original steyr AUG. (at least it takes common mags)
the aug's ability to remove the barrel easily is pretty cool.
the P90 is awesome. the PS90 not so much, due to combination of small caliber and semi-auto and sucky trigger

i'd probably pick a AMP DSR-1

 

[Hanzo581]

I've had a strange facination with the FS2000 for quite some time. I'd go with that.

 

[Carl N. Brown]

Steyr AUG just to be classic (not because its necessarily the best, but because it was one of the first).

AUG-gie, my son, my son, my boy.

Thank you I will take an original with Donut scope and open flash suppressor if you please. DO send it right away.

I've got a FS2000 and a Steyr A3AUG. The FS2000 has some superior design points (ambidexterious ejection, better placement of mag release) but I like the looks of AUG more.

I just got the AUG last month and I'm really liking it.

I don't consider the PS90 a normal bullpup rifle, more of a PDW

The MSAR is just an AUG clone...I guess some people prefer Tanfoglio to CZ...but I would get the original

It would be between the FS2000 and the AUG A3 for me. I don't really like the look of the Tavor

I've got 5 of the 7 on your list. Tavor is just too new -- haven't even seen one yet, but I suspect I'll get one when I find one at a decent price. Don't have an AUG, the MSAR scratches that itch adequately.

I voted FS2000 as IMHO it is the best of the lot. RFB is the least reliable and the M17S has the worst trigger.

 

[JustinJ]

I love my AUG. I've not shot a Tavor yet but have handled one and based on that still prefer the AUG.

 

[The_Armed_Therapist]

I voted AUG, but the FSAR is at least equal to me.

 

[JustinJ]

I don't think the survey needs to include the AUG and MSAR as I know nobody who prefer the latter of the two. I do own both and there is no question that I prefer the AUG hands down. I will give it to MSAR for a few preferable features such as QD sling attachments and a fluted barrel. Quality, durability, reliability and accuracy go to AUG by a mile.

Also, the RFB and PS90 are in different classes than the others due to caliber. The RFB is a great design but as most things with Keltek the quality of execution is terribly lacking. The PS90 is an awesome weapon but has a much more narrow niche.

I'm a lefty so my Tavor vote is somewhat biased. If 5.7 were as abundant as 5.56 then I might have gone with the P90. The FS2000 has got a lot more moving parts and a bit more time consuming to disassemble. Anything KelTec is gross and cheap especially after seeing the pump arm on a KSG break just shooting regular loads (new KSG after they 'fixed it').
With the 9mm conversions for the Tavors too it's a no brainer for me.

The select-fire Tavor has been in production for what, 10 years?

I'm pretty sure he meant available in the US.

 

[bannockburn]

I would go with a Steyr AUG over all the others.

Which doesn't really tell us much of anything about US made semi only version.

Early reports seem favorable, but only time will tell.

Of course it does. The long history of the select-fire Tavor gives great insight into the semi-auto version. Most of the parts are identical.

The "US made semi only version" is assembled in the USA largely of parts made in Israel.

 

[briansmithwins]

Anyone who has set up tooling or started a new factory will tell you there are frequently problems that crop up, even if making a established product that's identical to what's produced elsewhere.

And the US Tavor has some design features that are different to satisfy the ATF.
