We should get a club going. Designs we should have gotten in a less gay timeline.

I seriously don't get why people dislike bull pup designs so much. They have better ballistic due to their longer barrels and much more natural weight distribution due to being closer to the user.
There are so many benefits of bull pups over the traditional rifle designs, but the old heads are stuck in their ways and ended up discarding this masterpiece of a rifle.

This came from True Velocity.
The animation seems slightly erroneous, because only one of the recoil springs moves. But it is a guide anyhow.

This is a Twitter approximation based on an old patent.

>The suppressor should be the same shape as the cylinder.
They didn't make the suppressor, that's a preexisting one made by SilencerCo. At the time it was the only significant 12ga suppressor on the market at all and only one at all I know of that could handle any shot load thanks to an internal rail system. So for v1 they just made is so you could use that one and have a wrapping handguard (which I'm a sucker for personally). Perhaps if the gun hadn't gotten strangled in the crib and gotten a v2 they would have eventually contracted with some other company or done their own suppressor in a different shape.

>Sadly yes
Although given the year it's worth noting: the Magpul PDR was demoed 20 years ago, in 2006. Any possible patents on it are expired as of this year. If someone wanted to try cloning it they'd be free to do so, though of course the design itself leaned on Magpul's experience with polymer construction and mag design so actually producing something at a reasonable price would be very non-trivial. Patents don't get you tooling let alone a functional production chain and I doubt that's ever been a holdup. But to the extent it might help that's one barrier gone.
And with the stamp tax gone and eforms now so fast maybe that'd open up some more design freedom too.
