MBAR: Masterdude Bullpup Assault Rifle

IMG_0162.JPG
IMG_0161.JPG
This is a true semi-auto, bullpup rifle that I've made. It uses the same basic concept as my MARs but is bullpup and therefor is stronger but shorter. I also believe this to be the first bullpup semi-auto gun on Instructables.

Pros:
-Bullpup
-Comfortable grip
-Carry handle
-Semi-auto (you choose you ROF)
-Removable mag
-Good power
-Good range
-Trigger guard
-OK looks
-Well balanced weight (makes one-handed shooting easier)

Cons:
-Can be hard to load at first (but gets easy after some practice)
-Uses quite a lot of parts
-Can be hard to attach mag to gun
-Doesn't have a safety like the MARs do
 

More Instructables by me.

Note: The first image shows the MBAR with an optional vertical grip.

To load remove the mag and place the pin in the appropriate area. Now place the ammo in the mag. insert the mag into the ammo feed. Next push the white rods in the ammo feed area out to the sides. Hook the rubber bands on the end of the barrel and the trigger spoke. Make sure the rubber bands are on both sides of the ammo. Once all the rubber bands are hooked push the white rods back into the center. Remove the pin. Pull the trigger to fire (in case you didn't figure that out).
