Hello Buckstix: hope you're still hanging around.
I caught a story elsewhere about J.R. Buhmiller having proposed a BullPup design to the Army about 1949, as the Allied Powers were meeting in the U.S. to decide how the Allies would solve the problem of non-uniform conformity in the military rounds used - many cases of one ally needing to use another's supplies; Brits using French, etc.
Supposedly John provided a handful of BullPup samples to the Army for testing, believing that a short, mobile weapon would be useful in jeeps and trucks, but the Army wasn't ready for soldiers shooting out of moving vehicles...
But the Allies were aware of the tests, and several in northern Europe took note and went home to develop their own concepts - May have taken John's weapons with them... So what is/was your Bullpup?
