For something "well known," I find it odd that you, admittedly not an expert in guns, rather than any gun owner, enthusiast, or professional I have met in real life or interacted with online, are the only one to say it. Don't get me wrong, they make some good stuff; the Jericho is a nice pistol and and the Uzi is the world's most popular submachine gun, but for every gun they make, I can find something that is objectively better in several ways.

Then you don't want to use a small rifle, you want a shotgun or big game round. Big game rounds are only going to give you one shot, but if you want something as hilariously impractical as a bullpup in 5.45, at least go for something that has a chance for stopping a bear in one shot Shiloh Rifle Get it in .405 Winchester, it was good enough for Teddy Roosevelt.
