This review of the Kel-Tec RDB highlights its compact bullpup design, featuring a full 17-inch barrel in a short overall length. Key features include ambidextrous controls, a unique sheet metal magazine release, and true ambidextrous operation due to downward ejection. The trigger is noted as surprisingly good for a bullpup, and the rifle demonstrated 100% reliability with various ammunition types.
The Kel-Tec RDB bullpup rifle chambered in 5.56mm offers a unique downward ejection system, solving common bullpup issues. It features a reliable long-stroke gas piston system, uses standard AR-15 magazines, and demonstrated excellent reliability over 1000+ rounds, even when suppressed and in adverse conditions. The trigger is noted as superior to many other bullpups.
The KelTec RDB is compared to the IWI Tavor, highlighting the RDB's superior ambidextrous downward ejection, better stock trigger, and more balanced ergonomics. While the Tavor is combat-proven, the RDB offers a more streamlined profile and easier manufacturing. Both are considered excellent bullpup options with distinct advantages.
