I'm guessing the mechanism for having feeding right at the very rear of the receiver is just too complicated and finicky.
I'm also not sure if this really avoids the trigger issue, it never went past the prototype stage so there aren't exactly any detailed reports on its ergonomics, but I would assume it would suffer from similar issues since the trigger is connected to the actual firing mechanism by a long bar,
the trigger is connected to the actual firing mechanism by a long bar
Only to reset it, instead of a long bar that directly releases the hammer, the trigger mechanism releases another mechanism that flies back and releases the hammer, check 55 seconds in: https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=J5x_clmnUjo
I'm surprised nobody's used this concept for anything.
Like a 30" shotgun with a 18" barrel+8"suppressor fed by a 9+1x3"12ga tube mag on top that ejects downward.
It allows a more compact gun, avoids the mushy trigger problem of bullpups.
