Explaining the Bond Arms Bullpup! The Bestest Weird Gun in Production!

The Yankee Marshal identifies the Bond Arms Bullpup as the strangest firearm in his collection. This semi-automatic, hammer-fired 9mm pistol features a unique bullpup design where the chamber is located far back, allowing for a shorter overall firearm length. The video details its unconventional loading mechanism, where rounds are stripped backward from the magazine, and highlights the importance of using crimped ammunition to prevent malfunctions.

This video review focuses on the Bond Arms Bullpup 9L, a subcompact pistol featuring a surprisingly long 4.25-inch barrel, comparable to a Glock 19.

The review highlights its bullpup design, which allows the barrel to telescope over the magazine, and notes the presence of an accessory rail. The video also touches upon the potential for this firearm to address issues found in earlier Boberg pistols and mentions ongoing giveaways sponsored by TFBTV.

The Bond Arms Bullpup pistol, reviewed here at Shot Show 2018, features a unique rotating barrel design for suppressor compatibility. New for this year are G10 grips, offering a slimmer profile than the current Rosewood option. The pistol is designed to be hearing safe with subsonic 9mm ammunition, boasting a 10-inch overall length with a 4.2-inch barrel and suppressor. Its bullpup configuration places the chamber over the grip, resulting in a linear recoil impulse described as a push rather than a snap, making it an effective concealed carry option.
