Enfield EM-2 Bullpup Rifle

The 'would have been' service rifle if the SLR wasnt adopted. It is chambered in the .280 calibre which is very similar ballistically to todays 6.8 SPC and size. The weapon is well balanced for a Bullpup layout, and has a reliable dust proof mechanisim. Unfortunatley, this weapon was cancelled due to NATO standardisation of the 7.62x54 round to be used in the-then standard service rifles and also the cost of this platform.
