[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3288990, member: 9374"] So, I've been thinking for a while about something exotic and different. I'm an AR guy all the way, and I've been thinking of a bullpup-style or something similar. I could always do a bullpup conversion on an SKS or something, and that may still be a possibility as well. But with Wanenmacher's coming up this weekend, I've been doing some research to see if I can spot a decent or good deal on one of the following: PS90 Tavor Kriss Vector Personally, I am leaning toward the Vector. The pistol-caliber choices, the Gen II allows for multiple-caliber compatibility - although I believe the conversions are quite expensive - and the Glock mag compatibility are all big selling points. I really like the feel of the PS90 and one of my friend has one, but the ammo is oddball, expensive, and reloading is problematic, although not impossible. He's told me a little about it, but it sounds complicated. And I don't think I want to do a one-off caliber weapon. Unless I find a really stellar deal on one at the show. The Tavor I don't know a lot about yet. I like the bullpup design. Trigger options look expensive from what little I have seen. They take standard 5.56 PMAGs which is nice. I do see a 9mm version, but I think that's it other than 5.56. Super high prices for what you seem to get.
