The high cost and availability of alternatives like AR pistol braces also contribute to their niche market status.

The KelTec RDB bullpup rifle is reviewed as a budget-friendly option under $1,000, offering a compact form factor with a 16-inch barrel. While it demonstrated 100% reliability and impressive accuracy at 50 yards, the reviewer ultimately gave it an 'F' due to significant drawbacks. These include excessive heat buildup on the handguard, painful hot brass ejection hitting the shooter's arm, and higher recoil than expected for its caliber.

This review compares the KelTec RDB bullpup rifle against a 5.56 AR-15 pistol, focusing on size, weight, ergonomics, reliability, accuracy, and ballistics.
