This is a different one that is apparently popular in Germany as a way to skirt gun law there. It appears to be much more precisely and robustly made than the US versions.

Remember that from last year and it appears to be much better thought out and made. Not a bullpup though, just turns the Glock into a reg carbine. A very nice one I should add.

I am not sure, but it seems like the big difference is the bull-pup from the OP just mounts the entire pistol into a frame with a long barrel.  The German version just mounts the pistol frame into a chassis that includes a separate barrel and bolt.  The bull-pup would cost more to do it that way, but it would be a better carbine.

Yeah. I gotta say on the kraut version, it appears that they're just using the Glock fire control group as their "lower".

In the US, I would consider this as wasteful and inefficient, and would rather just have the Glock pistol and a separate carbine. For the krauts though, I guess this lets them have two guns under one registration, which might actually be a good deal for them.
