The Century Arms Draco is built in Romania, bringing the famous AK reliability into a smaller, more compact platform. It features a 12.25-inch threaded barrel, standard AK sights, enhanced trigger group, and comes standard with one 30-round US Palm magazine. The Draco offers an AK platform that is both compact and reliable.
The iconic Steyr AUG is the oldest serving bullpup in military history, dating back to 1977. This 5.56x45mm rifle utilizes a short-stroke gas piston and a 16-inch quick-change barrel to deliver a compact, soft shooting experience. The Steyr AUG’s current incarnation is the Steyr AUG A3 M1, which is available with a short optics rail, extended optics rail, or an integrated 3x optic. Coming in at 8.8 pounds and just 28.15 inches long, the AUG is superbly balanced and is still a gold standard in the bullpup market today.
The Kel-Tec SU16B is a unique rifle in that it is a 5.56 rifle with a folding stock, making for an extremely compact overall package when stored. The SU16B model is ultra-lightweight, weighing only 4.5 lbs, further solidifying its role as a versatile utility rifle. While it may not be as accurate or reliable as an AR-15, we consider the SU16B an interesting alternative for specific use cases.
The Omega Arms AR12 brings many of the ergonomic features of the AR-15 to the world of semi-auto shotguns.

With two magazines, a hard case, sights, and a sling included, the Omega AR12 gets you a decent amount of bang for your buck.
The PSA AK-104 is a carbine-length version of Palmetto State Armory’s AK-103. We had a hiccup involving the mainspring, but once we resolved it our AK-104 shot well. It’s an interesting firearm for people who want to be a little different without paying the big bucks for a true AK-104 clone.
The Springfield Armory M1A is a modern version of the classic US military M14 battle rifle.

Magazine capacity ranges from 10-20 rounds of .308, and the rifle is available in several different trim levels, from base models all the way to Super Match variants.
IWI took a radical approach with the TS12 when creating a semi-automatic shotgun. Aside from the compact bullpup design, the rotary magazine that allows for a capacity of 15 rounds is impressive in its own right. If you are looking to maximize firepower in a short package, the TS12 might be your ticket.
