That said, is a bullpup with a 20" barrel feasible as a service rifle?
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

I can tone it down, and I have done it at least. I never want to go slower than 850 m/s for 6.8mm bullets though, and for me it's the borderline-can be more, but never less. I'm thinking of an inflated 6.5 Grendel case all because I want that 110gr 6.8 round going off the barrel at 2790 fps
