===Advantages=== * The primary benefit of a bullpup weapon is that the weapon's overall length can be significantly decreased without reducing the barrel length. This allows a bullpup weapon to be more easily maneuvered and concealed than a conventional weapon with a similar barrel length, especially in tight spaces.<ref name="Tilstra2014">{{cite book|last=Tilstra|first=Russell C.|title=The Battle Rifle: Development and Use Since World War II|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iSYXAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA18|date=21 March 2014|publisher=McFarland|isbn=978-0-7864-7321-2|page=18}}</ref> * In some designs, the shorter length of stock reduces the weight compared to a conventional rifle with the same action. * The [[center of mass]] of a bullpup weapon is more posterior, thus closer to the shooter's [[core (anatomy)|core]]. This means less [[torque]] when moved around, making the handling [[kinematic]]ally more comfortable, especially when the shooter is running. * Due to the shorter distance between the action and the butt plate, the [[recoil]] impulse is transmitted more directly into the shooter's shoulder, with less [[leverage (mechanics)|leverage]] to create [[muzzle rise]].
