...and yet you post an opinion based only on something you read on the internet? ;-)
That's an assumption on your part. Incorrect I might add. I've shot the Steyer and have closely examined every bullpup design that I've seen in the local Dealer's shops. I don't see one in the future of my "collection".
I hope you at least see the irony; your avatar being a Glock which has volumes of misleading and misinterpreted internet stories circulating, and now you’re posting rumors about a gun you’ve never seen (much less fired) with no basis in fact.
Opinions are not necessarily rumors. Some are just that, opinions, and just like you, we are all entitled to them. All Opinions are not rumors and all rumors are not necessarily false. Just because it's on the Internet doesn't automatically make it unfounded.
BTW, the only reason my Avatar shows a Glock is because I couldn't find a similar one using a Sig which is my choice for a Carry Weapon.
EDIT to correct: The blogger references a KelTec carbine, but doesn't appear to have ever held or fired one.
And he admitted so. His "opinion" is based on his personal views.
As I said, my opinion is just that. Others share it and some don't.
Did you read way down in the article where the main reason behind a bullpup design was to be able to use a longer barrel with limited OAL?
He showed several examples where the difference is only a matter of a couple of inches, and still maintained all the ergonomics of a standard rifle. One that is familiar to most in the dark, in the heat of combat, etc.
Again, just like
you are entitled to your choice of firearm, people are entitled to their opinions---even if they don't agree with yours.
Enjoy your rifle, I'll enjoy mine.
