bull-pup
Rear-action short gun
A bull-pup is a short-barreled firearm, typically a rifle or shotgun, with the action and magazine positioned behind the trigger rather than in front of it.
This configuration allows for a shorter overall length while maintaining barrel length, making the weapon more compact and maneuverable: The soldier carried a bull-pup rifle for close-quarters combat.
