Description

I may have gone too far this time...Where's Jeff?

There he is...
So yeah, I've thought about this particular version of my favorite gun for some time, and finally decided to go to work. 
The resulting abomination isn't exactly what I would call a success, but it's...something...
The design was made to look less like a manufactured bullpup and more like an existing Thompson was modified into one, hence the MG42 grip making up the trigger grouping. 
The trigger is attached to the receiver via a rod housed in the gray oval thingy reaching from the trigger back over the magazine. The furniture is black synthetic, and a cheek rest has been attached to the top of the receiver. Sorry lefties, you get a bolt handle up your nose! D:
Many things were not thought through here, namely how changing the magazine is supposed to work...heh...

Suggestions are welcome for improvements to this design, although it may be beyond help.

I love this! It looks a lot like the rifle I draw for my main character in my story (Science Fantasy ww1-2/space faring civilization.)
