Are Bullpup Rifles Safe ??? (When Guns Go Boom EP – 11)
This video tests the safety of bullpup rifles during catastrophic failure. A Kel-Tec RFB in .308 Winchester was subjected to a specially loaded round exceeding 300,000 PSI. While the rifle experienced a massive explosion, destroying the lower receiver and magazine, slow-motion analysis showed the heavy metal upper receiver largely shielded the ballistic dummy's face from direct debris, indicating the bullpup design can offer protection in extreme failure scenarios.
