The KelTec RFB is a unique .308 bullpup battle rifle praised for its compact size, durability, and effectiveness in urban combat scenarios. Despite a complex gas system and a non-intuitive bolt lock-back, its forward ejection, ambidextrous design, and hard-hitting .308 round make it a highly recommended, albeit niche, firearm. Accuracy is sufficient for its role, offering good value compared to other .308 platforms.

This video showcases the KelTec RFB 18" bullpup rifle's performance in the demanding 'Sledgehammer Drill' and at 508 yards. The rifle, a retail purchase by Nutnfancy, demonstrated 100% reliability with no adjustments. It successfully engaged steel targets at both close-quarters under stress and at long range, proving its accuracy and capability.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of 5.56mm, 7.62mm, and 9mm FMJ rounds on mild steel plates of 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4" thickness. The 7.62mm caliber demonstrated superior penetration over 5.56mm, successfully piercing the 1/2" plate while 5.56mm struggled. Neither caliber could penetrate the 3/4" plate, suggesting it offers reliable cover against these common rifle rounds. 9mm rounds showed no penetration on any plate thickness.

This update on the Kel-Tec RFB .308 bullpup indicates improved reliability after initial issues, with the rifle currently undergoing a break-in period. Using Wolf .308 ammunition and the gas port set wide open, the rifle is cycling better as more rounds are fired. A full review is planned after a recommended 500-round break-in.

This review of the Kel-Tec RFB highlights significant reliability issues, particularly with cycling ammunition and the gas system's limited adjustment range. The forward-ejection design complicates malfunction clearing, often requiring disassembly. The rifle struggled with steel-cased ammunition and was deemed unreliable for military-style use.

The Kel-Tec RFB in .308/7.62 NATO offers a compact 26-inch design with an 18-inch barrel and low felt recoil. Its unique forward ejection system is a key feature, directing spent brass forward for ambidextrous operation. The rifle utilizes FN metric magazines and boasts a trigger superior to many bullpups.

This video features a debrief of the Kel-Tec RFB rifle, with the reviewer providing mostly positive feedback in the final part of a "No Fear" series. While the RFB performs well, it doesn't quite match the performance of the FN 17S in their point system. The video also includes observations after shooting, a segment involving a "Sledge" chasing darkness with "big laughs," and an update on the PMR-30 after lubrication, hoping for 100% reliability. The content concludes with humorous commentary on PFI's Barbie collection and a concluding remark about the outcome of the testing, suggesting it "kinda' worked out."

This review compares the Kel-Tec RFB against the FN SCAR 17S, highlighting the RFB's value proposition despite some initial reliability issues. The testing emphasizes real-world stress, proper maintenance, and the impact of gear setup on performance. The PMR-30's sensitivity to lubrication is also noted.
