Editor’s Note:

The Kel-Tec RDB Survival is an interesting 5.56 rifle that can easily fill multiple roles. Its slim and compact bullpup design makes it ideal for use as a camping gun, survival rifle, truck gun, or even a home defense tool. The downward-ejecting design and reversible charging handle also mean this rifle is a true ambidextrous gun.

By The Numbers - Kel-Tec RDB Survival

Accuracy
Our test gun averaged 1" groups at 50 yards and roughly 3" groups at 100 yards.
Reliability
We had a single malfunction that was user-induced. When the magazine was seated properly, the gun ran 100%.
Customization
Outside of attachments for the Picatinny rail, there are a few minor upgrades for triggers and charging handles. There isn't too much else out there for this gun specifically.
Ergonomics
The gun feels very lightweight and points easily. The controls are well laid out, but the bullpup manual of arms isn't for everyone.
Value
The price on these has dropped since launch, making the RDB and most of its variants the cheapest 5.56 bullpup rifles on the market.

Steyr AUG A3 M1
VIEW DETAILS

Steyr AUG A3 M1

$1,532.22

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.
