Potentially a controversial topic. But I note the Poles are currently producing the msbs in both 5.56 and 7.62. It's of interest because it's modular 'system' means components are interchangable between conventional and bullpup versions, as we as between full length, CQB, DMR, and LSW variants. This means it's possible to sacrifce a working rifle to keep the machine gun variant going. Further the critical upper is the common element between conventional and Bullpup versions.

I am rather a fan of the MSBS Radon. Not least for the modularity. The only use I question is that of LMG - histrocally a dedicated LMG seems to be ther better option. And one without a magazine well, since that never gets used and adds significant weight. Apart from that I'll happily standardize on that rifle.

I think if we pull back a mo' you can see that looking possibly to Finland for ammo (at least to start with) and Poland for rifles spreads the 'benefits' of the EU around and ensures these peripheral states are of more importance to EU-military Command. The fact these might well be the best solutions only helps that. That being said, I have become rather interested in Kel Tec's RDB and DesertTech's MRB. Both are very interesting engineering solutions to the issues of bullpups. But both have their issues as well.

I fully concur on spreading the joy around - that should be a major focus on the side. Maybe we should keep a tally in a post?

Not a bad idea that!
