Pros: Longer barrel in the same overall size, or a shorter total length for the same barrel. A longer barrel means more exit velocity, while a shorter weapon means more agility in small spaces (indoors, for example).
Cons: the ejection port is close to the shooter's face, making ambidextrous weapons nearly impossible. The chamber is also closer, making it more dangerous in the (relatively rare) case of a catastrophic failure.
B-but the FN P90 is ambidextrous and ejects the casings downwards.
Hard to scale that particular design up to longer cartridges, unfortunately. A 5.56 P90 would be so cool, though.
The Keltec RDB has bottom eject and fires 5.56
Ckr even more noncredibility, the Keltec RFB is a bullpup with forward eject.
Two projectiles for the price of one?! Count me in.
Borderlands ass gun lmao
Keltec just can't stop making cool shit
This is how the RDB rendered on my mobile browser:
