The biggest issue, sadly, is its simply an impossible design for a cartridge based firearm. Magazine and the ejection port are too far back, there would be zero room for the bolt to cycle to pull in a new cylinder. I'm big on plausibility.

I mentioned the odd grip on IRC to him with an image of the Famas grip when he was showing work in progress images. Maybe he'll make one with a redesigned grip and different barrels.

There is such a thing as electronically fired primers that have existed for years like in the metalstorm weapons. Though the shuttle (or whatever the slider on the side is called) wouldn't exist. Personally I like the magazine placement. The location on most bullpups bothers me. Might try different magazine styles like an insertable box magazine.
