Default Bullpup Rifles Ugly???

So me and Huntinggirl89 have had this long going conflict in views over this "new wave of the future" bullpup rifle design. She thinks theyre butt ugly, I think that depending on the rifle they are kinda cool. Dont get me wrong, these cool synthetics are not meant to stand up to the eligance of a fine wooden stock but I feel that they are pretty cool in their own right. So what you all think?
I broke it down and listed many different examples below, which do you find Ugly, which do you find Beautiful??? (or at least cool)



Kel-Tec's new 7.62mm BullPup Rifle(USA) MSRP= $2000


Steyr stg. 77 AUG Assualt Rifle 5.56 (Austria)


TAR-21 5.56 (Israel)

FAMAS (5.56) (France)


FS 2000 5.56 (Belgium)

FN P90 5.7mm (belgium)

Bushmaster M-17 5.56 (USA)

I'm gonna vote ugly. Functional yes, asthetically pleasing, not so much.

I do like the look of MP-5's though. Especially the SD-5 models.

I'm going to have to plead ignorance here as I've never shot one. The bullpup design is hardly anything new as it's been around in rifle form for a long time. The notion that the military and police are banging out versions of it is I suppose new...and as a military rifle, it may end up serving quite well in the future. Who knows.

But I think the best grade I would give them just now is butt ugly. Several of them make me nausious just to look at them. Time will tell.

see its the oddness of their design that make them so appealing, they dont look like you generic rifle, not that theres anything wrong with that but design of the ar-15 is something we have seen for 50 years and the shape of the basic rifle for over a hundred. these are new and oddly cool (for me anyway lol)

yeah bullpups arent knew, but now they seem to be gaining fame and appear to be the future in europe and probably in our future as well.


AND I AGREE the Mp-5D5 is very very pretty!
