Had a chance to shoot a couple of bullpups this weekend, and I am wondering why wouldn't one be perfect home defense rifle? they are compact enough that they almost eliminate the advantages of a pistol, and have much more stopping power. And with the right ammo you could negate the over penetration issues. And if needed they would have the extended range a pistol wouldn't. I shot the Springfield and a tavor. they both handled well and according to their owners have no reliability issues. Accuracy was OK we only shot to 50 yards with iron sights at steel plates. Maybe I'm just trying to talk myself out of buying one, god knows I don't need another 223 rifle. But I really liked that tavor.
