To me it looks like an SA-80 with an AK-47 combined.

only difference is the L85 is beautiful
This stuff was made in 1960 though, the design was FAR before it's time.
Could you imagine that gross tacky brown plastic replaced with flat black or camo?
Bullup rifles are starting to be more common now seeing they are good for all situations they give the soldier a smaller silhouette and supreme accuracy because the barrel is all the way to the back of the gun and the firing mechanism is also in the back putting the weight on your shoulder not your hand almost eliminating sight drifting...

Yes, bravo.
Bullpups are harder to reload which is their biggest disadvantage in close combat however so they are not entirely the uber good win guns on the modern battlefield.
Bullpups... Yes they are a pain in the arse...
But look at the nations that are mainly using them, their infantry are generally highly effecient.
British army for example, with the L85, rigged with problems during the A1 phase, but we made good use of it all because of our drills.
Now personally... i used to spend alot of times at ranges.
Ive used alot of weapons, and in comparisson, a bullpup is far more comfortable to fire.
Tho the M4 for example is easy to reload,
Now ive used the L85 and the M4, if i had to pick, id take the L85 because it is easy and comfortable to fire (At least the A2 is!)
