    Can anyone ID this .223 bullpup rifle?

    I came across this image on National Geographic's website showing a California gangbanger displaying some of his wares. One of the firearms is a crude-looking bullpup rifle with either an AR or Mini-14 magazine. If I had to guess, I'd say it's home-made and probably originated from Mexico, but who knows? Anyone else have an idea?

    Here's the original image in the article:

    Here is a zoomed-in image of the rifle:

    The pen is mightier than the sword, but only when you're shoving it through your enemy's throat.

    Yeah, that's a Bushmaster pistol. I had one of the early models, when they first came out, and it wasn't worth shit. It wouldn't fire more than 2 shots without jamming. I traded it back in and got something else.

    Unless they have vastly improved them, if you ever run across one, stay away from it. Pure junk.

    I really like the concept...

    ...except for the fact that the report from a 5.56 pistol that close to your face has got to be BRACING to say the least.
