What would you guys say is the ideal melee weapon for modern CQC (purely for combat, not as a multi-purpose tool)?

Spiked knuckles.

Spiked knuckles or an armoured gauntlet.

Try using a sword in a building full of enemies and allies.

[The Archangel Conglomerate]

I have to say that's a pretty silly idea.

Probably

For starters given how short your rifle is it would be rather difficult to grip as it is,

How so? It is, as far as I can tell, slightly loner than a Tavor X95, which has no such issues, and slightly shorter than most subcarbines, which also have few, if any, issues being held.

Hell, I think my forward grip is longer than an AKS-74u's.

but then loading it in such a manner? It would be EXTREMELY annoying to do so, in addition to difficult and, in general, a hazard. Especially in combat.

Perhaps it's my squishy civilian side talking, but I really don't see how. Indeed, nearest I can tell, it may be easier than a conventionally fed bullpup.

Loading a magazine with clips is not as easy as it seems, and a 30 round enbloc would be among the more difficult processes.

Step 1) Rifle empties! Bolt locks back, also retracting magazine cover!
Step 2) Rifle is rotated ~48 degrees left (assuming right handed shooter) and muzzle is aimed slightly downward!
Step 3) New en-bloc clip is removed from vest webbing (assuming shooter had the forethought to remove protective plastic from one set of feed lips)!
Step 4) Arrows are aligned, and fresh en-bloc clip is forced into the magazine, resetting the spring/follower assembly, ejecting the empty clip, and triggering the bolt release!
Step 5) Rifle is returned to firing position!

Its also worth noting that you'll be catching that clip in your face after firing all 30 rounds.

See step 4. No automatic ejection of spent clips.

Even a goofy system like the HK36 would be better than that.

Conventional bullpup:

Step 1: Rifle is empty, bolt holds open.
Step 2: Remove magazine while still shouldering weapon
Step 3: Grab new magazine
Step 4: Insert new magazine (and hit bolt-release right beside it if necessary)

Rifle stays shouldered, on-target, and there are no moving parts near the face whatsoever. Not only that, but you can remove a partially-expended magazine and insert a fresh one before going into a known hot-zone (such as a building or room to be cleared).

We have escalated close combat fighting to a point where close combat doesn't even exist anymore. Victory.

More good advice from Spreewerke.
Not a tag in disguise.

You still need to work out has the gas system works .

You should probably eject the old clip before putting the new one anywhere near the magazine.

Thoughts?

That front grip looks a little awkward.
As for the problems the other regulars presented, simply invert the action. Feed the Clip from the bottom, eject out the bottom.
Like aquiz said still needs gas system, jut put some tube in there.

Needs more texture: pockets, shading, a belt, creases on the trousers!

How do you fire it without the trigger getting blocked by the triggerguard/foregrip

See the big side cargo pockets? add those and you're golden. Granted the knee pads are a litle funky. base it of these shape wise for a little more military look
