Well, it looks like the L85 carbine was the influence, and that does have the front grip fairly close to the trigger pack. But that doesn't look particularly fun to grip either, and the front grip is about the same size as the pistol grip, while this one is less than half and looks like you'd have a hard time getting more than two fingers around it.LordMalachi said:I agree with everything but the front grip. And that only because of the P90 and how close to the trigger group its front grip is. For a small caliber bullpup its actually ok to be that close, it /almost/ feels like holding a pistol with 2 hands. But if it's a bullpup type AR, then I'm not so sure...
I think my biggest objection (which I hadn't edited in when you replied) is that having a front grip is a little pointless when you could just extend the handguard; guns that have a vert grip that close to the trigger are generally carbines with barrels that stop right on top of the grip (ie Groza, L85 carbine), not full-size rifles.
