IMO a rifle designed for military andLE use has noneed, what so ever, to be "pretty". So long as it functinos flawlessly, isdurable,and allows the "good guy" an advantage over the "bad guy"then they are beautiful rifles. Think about how many of our guys lives could have been saved back in WW1 and WW2, etc... when they were clearing tight spaces likebuildings, tunnels, caves, etc...had they had an ultra compact and ultra quick handling rifle like these bullpups instead of thoselong bulkyrifles like the Springfield andGarand.
