I have nothing against the bullpup design. It has many advantages like the balance offering quick mounting and a longer barrel in a compact rifle.
On the negative side I don't like having the ejection port so close to my face and some models are awkward if you want to shoot leftie.
Everything has its plusses and minuses.
'course if someone gave me a Steyer AUG or FN-P90 my opinions may change. So I'll stand by my sour grapes. So, lemme get this straight ... your MOM collects bullpups? You have one cool mom there.
But this thread is about ugliness ... and there are some bizarre bullpups out there.

"I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence." - Mahatma Ghandi
