bullpup
Magazine behind trigger
A bullpup is a firearm design where the action and magazine are located behind the trigger, rather than in front of it.
This configuration shortens overall length while maintaining barrel length, making the weapon more compact for close-quarters use: The bullpup rifle was easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
Common in modern military rifles like the Steyr AUG and British SA80.
