I have multiple bullpups. If you use very rigid materials with good support for the linkages and well designed points of articulation (bearings and/or bearing surfaces) with as near to zero play as possible you can make a nice bullpup trigger. It's expensive to do and I know of NO production bullpups outside of some 1000 yard .50BMG and 20mm competition rifles (which aren't really production in a normal sense as to numbers made) where this has been done as it would be expensive and with most shooters and for most employment purposes would be irrelevant. People can brag as much as they want, but the majority of high precision shooters that warrant a really nice trigger is quite low. A nice trigger on what's essentially a pistol caliber subgun? Waste of time. About as useful as a excellent double set trigger on a .600 Nitro built for a person with a significant flinch. Nice when you're handing it around to show people but in actual employment of firearm, irrelevant.
May as well worry about the merits of the mush triggers of GLOCK pistols. They are well enough suited for purpose for the majority of end users...
Looking at these beasts I think instead, "Bullpup mag systems are problematic as to ergonomics and in this one, the mag length and placement look problematic and more vulnerable to damage compared to a number of other ways it could have been engineered."
All firearms designs are compromises.
All bullpups suck in ergos to varying degrees.
Trigger would be one of my lesser worries in ergonomics-land for an issue weapon of this type.

Its cute, but I'd rather have the 5.56mm version.
Also I wonder if the trigger sucks (like every other bullpup on the planet ... with the possible exception of the new KelTec RFB).
Yeah, I'm spoiled with my AR and its sweet, smooth, light, glass breaking Timney trigger :D
