I owned a Mossberg Bullpup 500 "back in the day"... It was fun and I really tried to incorporate into my HD plan...
Truth is, I never really liked several aspects of it for this duty...
Drop down pistol grip...
Shells ejecting under my face...
Much louder due to barrel being closer to my face...
It really wasn't nearly as easy to defend from takeover in "hands on" practice...
It was not only harder to retain but in practice, as I tried to retain the weapon, I found just to many instances where I was having my own head and CoM swept by the muzzle...
More than once the muzzle ended up under my chin as I lost control of the gun and my "BG" sparring partner could easily and honestly give the "YOUR DEAD" chesire grin as I was helped from the ground...
I can just do so much more with a traditional gun layout format... Both offensively and defensively...
With that said... It was the COOLEST FUNNEST "FOR FUN" SHOTGUN I ever got to own...
