this applies no matter what formation you walk in.
yes, you mive your torso around while walking, but if someone appears off your beam with an RPG you're still probably not going to be facing that direction.
as for the FN2000, how do you clear it? can you see the chamber? can you diagnose malfunctions easily with it? (i don't see how you can, with the chamber area not being visible)
for the bullpup concept to work, the rifle needs to be able to be reversed from right to left hand operation without dissassembling the weapon or requiring extra parts, have a chamber that can be seen and manipulated though a port, be as relaible as a conventional rifle.
that said, i've handled and fired several species of bullpup, (left handed and right handed), and dislike how they hide everything you need to see and manipulate easily, like the magazine well and ejection port.
