As a gun store owner and professional armorer, i get a chuckle every time some dude bitches about 'bull pup triggers are bad hurr hurr hurr'.
Less than 1/4 of my AR customers have any kind of custom or drop in trigger in their AR's. They are running stock Mil-spec triggers with mass produces springs. Actually had this argument this morning. I took an X95 off the wall, took my trigger puller and did 3 pulls at roughly 6lbs each time. Took a Daniel Defense DDM4V7 off the wall and did the same. 6lbs each pull. Then did a Delton at 8lbs, and an anderson at 6lbs.
Told the guy if he wasnt running over 100 bucks in trigger job he wouldnt be able to blind test a trigger pull anyway. much laughter was had.
The biggest problem with bullpup triggers isnt the weight, its the LOP. its not as adjustable as an Ar because the collapsible stock feature of an AR allows a person to configure the LOP to their preference on the fly. You're effectively stuck with the LOP on nearly bullpup on the market except the VHS (i refuse to call it a hellion) and that one has excessively long LOP anyway. AUG triggers have a bit of moosh in them stock, but the ONE thing it does well is trigger reset is extremely firm and consistent with a very smooth break, so stuff like bench shooting is actually very easy because once you get your shot off, its easy to 'pre stage' the trigger for follow up shots.
