A3 Tactical's Triad Bullpup chassis is what you just saw. It takes any FM-15 upper (including their new .300BLK). They also make a version for the BRN-180 and PSA JAKL. I've got one on pre-order, should see it next month.
First off, when he was talking about the gas tube he said "fuel injection fitting", and I heard "watt's link" in the trigger on the bullpup. I'm beginning to think they're a bunch of truck guys.
The 45 degree gas block should have been done in the AR market years ago because it's the most reliable way to perfectly line up a gas block AND clean the gas system after firing. Just fit the block in place loose, stick an appropriately sized allen wrench in the hole into the barrel to line it up, then tighten the lock screws, or pin in place, whichever you like most. If done properly it would even work with standard gas tubes and wouldn't require a custom bent tube.
If you are looking for a more standard ar bullpup, check out the FAMAR. You need to 3D print it, but that in itself is an advantage. Initially I just looked at it more as as cosmetic work but after shooting it a while it has become my favorite bullpup, more so than the AUG. It's about 3" longer in OAL than the Foxtrot.
"By the way Denton, did you see what happened to the soldier we sent into the statue? He turned up dead." "He had an assault gun. I wanted it." "I am opening an investigation. Dismissed."
Unfortunately they don't. However, on Tactical Hyve Coch was showing his bullpup conversion using the same Foxtrot Mike FM15 upper. It ejected the brass forward rather than to the side but with an ordinary AR-15/M16 ejection port and cover, nothing complicated like the Desert Tech forward eject (which as of a few days ago is now discontinued, side eject only now).
You all could use that bullpup chassis with a Gibbz lefty upper. The NON recriprocaring charging handle would be on the upper, on the same side as shooter
Impressive stuff. Great design and attention to detail with what Foxtrot Mike guns are doing right now. Simplicity in a firearm means a reliable firearm.
Got to love stuff that's off the beaten path. I know a guy who own nothing but Sigs and Daniel Defense ARs, what a horrible way to go through life. Missing out on something like this and damn near everything Kel-Tec has ever made. 🤯🤯🤯
Yep yep. However, the TRIAD is what it is because of the Foxtrot Mike FM15 upper. Gotta give FTM and other similar bufferless upper manufacturers the credit they deserve or there would be no TRIAD.
The fas block and extension being part of the barrel is great but why go to the trouble of the muzzle break when people want to put on their own muzzle devices anyway?
The ONLY issue I see is the height of the sight over bore especially since this would be for closer distances. This looks great but is it practical and usable is my question.
Like the other person said, that is a handle that you can take off. It doesn't require your optic to be that tall over bore if you don't want it to be.
So which barrel are we looking at here? Are these new features to be used in the 300BLK barrel that we can buy from A3 along with the TRIAD chassis? I like the built in KeyMO muzzle device.
As an armorer and builder for over 22 years, I'm going to beg you to come up with a gas block for install on mil-spec barrels that uses that gas-tube! Please! That is incredibly elegant and speeds up a step that can be extremely frustrating. It also means that a catastrophic blow-out at the gas tube, which is an intended failure point, can be swapped out in the field with minimal training.
These AR based bullpups make getting a bullpup cost effective and with readily compatible AR sourced parts if you need to replace something. The other bullpups like IWI, DT, SF, etc. are great but proprietary and parts are not plentiful, you can't just grab parts anywhere and go like you can with AR based bullpups. That's the difference. Unfortunately a con is that full ambi is not available in AR based bullpups. Pros and cons to everything right.
That 45 degree gas port on the barrel sounds like a bad idea. The soviets experienced bullet shearing at their 45 degree port when they switched to 5.45, which led them to change the AK74 gas port to 90 degrees
Эту газовую трубку можно вставить в АР систему перед установкой ствола вместе с ним , и снять так же вместе со стволом на сколько я понял . На запрессованом стволе это уже невозможно будет сделать . This gas tube can be inserted into the AR system before installing the barrel with it , and removed as well with the barrel as far as I understood . It will no longer be possible to do this on a pressed barrel .
Would be nice if they just use standard milspec barrel instead of custom. You know, because people dont just shoot what ever caliber the company chooses.
If they made it any shorter they could make a holster for it, and create the worlds greatest sidearm. At least until they come out with a bullpup shotgun pistol with triple tubes like that tavor shotgun.
That's AWESOME!!!! I LOVE BULLPUPS!!!! It's so much better than a short barrel AR. I have several AR's, but the shortest one I have is in 300blk at 10.3". You waste too many FPS going below a 12.5" 5.56.
With enough money, anything is possible. Hell, I once spoke to a barrel-maker who told me with a modified magazine that he could make me an MPX barrel in 7.62x25mm Tokarev
In .40 Super with saboted 62 grain whatever, either M855A1 or ALCO's 0.45 ballistic coefficient bullet (both about one inch long) with a good puller sabot design one should be able to hit 3,000 fps in a six inch barrel. Easily in an eight inch barrel. Longer magazines would be required due to diameter increase, but M4 carbine+ ballistics in a weapon a little over a foot long. Lots less gunpowder burned to achieve the same or better muzzle energy.
Oh wow, the 9 inch .300 blk is really interesting.... is there an arm pistol variant with no stock I wonder? Edit: nevermind I just answered my own question. Yes it exists and now I want one.
Are they actually selling the fm 47? I stopped looking for it after 2 yrs. Whats the delivery to market on the bullpup? 4yrs? They have decent stuff but some of the longest teasers of products.
After talking with the owner, they currently have 300blk and 5.56mm/223, but also functional prototypes of 7.62x39mm and 5.45! They're sending me one of these soon to check out, so stay tuned for a full review once I get one.
The bowl pup is metal. Yes it does use an AR lower that is then wrapped around by the polymer skin on the bottom. But the internal frame, hence the lower is metal and attaches to the upper using the same pin attachments of a traditional AR-15. I have this.
My wife needs this.... she has a weak back longer guns are hard for her to hold up for long periods. Not on their web site yet. I wonder how much it will be?
Man that bullpup is almost exactly what I've been wanting, but in 300blk. With a 20 round mag and qd suppressor, the ultimate backpack gun.

Just get a Honey Badger. Problem solved
@@Everything2A Q solves no problems other than how to deplete your bank account. :)
If it was only gold plated I would get it.
.350 legend assuming they've figured the 30rnd mags.
First off, when he was talking about the gas tube he said "fuel injection fitting", and I heard "watt's link" in the trigger on the bullpup. I'm beginning to think they're a bunch of truck guys.
He is an idiot! But he has some great guys that are the brains behind the scenes.
Truck guys building their dream truck guns.
The All-American working man.
The Watt's link is actually perfect for in a Bullpup. I imagine the take-up and break feels a lot better than any other Bullpup on the market.
You caught us, a few of us here have a history in aftermarket automotive suspensions. Some of it does tend to sneak out without realizing it

"Foxtrot Mike: We never pull out!"
Put that shit on a SHIRT!🤣🤣
No kidding! That Bullpup was so cool.
I guess I know what I am going to try to save up for.
"Dear, Santa..."
So close to the magpul PDR we all want
So do your parents know you're gay?
@@ZeroHero-33Okay, time for you to take your medicine.
@@theflyingwelshman5338 You were homeschooled, weren't you? 🤣
@@ZeroHero-33 No, but you clearly were.
Now THAT is what im talkin about. Some new gun technology, new weapon systems, and ofcourse new weapons in general. Love it
The one piece barrel is great if the price is reasonable.
I dont think you will be able to buy it on its own. I think it is purely for their Mike uppers.
@@Schregger Yea, not quite standard AR pattern stuff, just AR architecture based in this case
If you are looking for a more standard ar bullpup, check out the FAMAR. You need to 3D print it, but that in itself is an advantage.

It gives me Deus Ex Assault Gun vibes and I want one.
I was thinking the same thing, though I think those were chambered in 7.62 if my memory serves correct
👍
@@Mastersnake392 7.62 NATO too with a circular magazine. It would be absolutely insane to shoot IRL lol.
"one"? two or three
"By the way Denton, did you see what happened to the soldier we sent into the statue? He turned up dead."
"He had an assault gun. I wanted it."
"I am opening an investigation. Dismissed."
Wow Foxtrot Mike has some tempting innovation!😮
I wish they made this bullpup that could be flipped to eject left side for the southpaws like the VHS 2. The ultra compactness form factor is insane
As someone who is wrong handed i agree
I want to see a bullpup with the ARX-100's quick change ejection, but with an external button so you could switch sides on the fly.
Unfortunately they don't. However, on Tactical Hyve Coch was showing his bullpup conversion using the same Foxtrot Mike FM15 upper. It ejected the brass forward rather than to the side but with an ordinary AR-15/M16 ejection port and cover, nothing complicated like the Desert Tech forward eject (which as of a few days ago is now discontinued, side eject only now).
@@neiljborja triple hellyeah. Obvious and overdue since forever.

I've been a bullpup enjoyer ever since I fell in love with the FAMAS, the p90, and the X95, and this looks just like my cup of tea
I've been wanting a bull pup like that for decades.
THEY REINVENTED THE FAMAS
This thing is giving me TITANFALL 2 vibes.
I got borderlands 1 vibes
I say both and it's cool
@@bloodking73I was thinking the same thing. Would love to get one of these things and slap a Dahl paintjob on it
More info on that bullpup please...looks Nice
I believe that is the Triad bullpup kit, uses any milspec AR lower and a bufferless upper from Brownells, Foxtrot Mike, Palmetto or Matador.
@@herbderbler1585 Thank you!
Definition of close quarter combat weapon!!😮
That barrel is the most practical barrel design I've ever seen.
One upgrade to be perfect. Drill and tap for gas flow control.
Impressive stuff. Great design and attention to detail with what Foxtrot Mike guns are doing right now. Simplicity in a firearm means a reliable firearm.
Agreed. Also reminds me that I've got to beg these guys for a bullpup lower for review
This is exactly what I was looking for FM is really innovative man
This company has really been impressive these last couple years. I hope they keep it going with innovation.
Looking forward to seeing more of this particular bullpup
Got to love stuff that's off the beaten path. I know a guy who own nothing but Sigs and Daniel Defense ARs, what a horrible way to go through life. Missing out on something like this and damn near everything Kel-Tec has ever made. 🤯🤯🤯
The Triad is the real story here - getting my preorder ready now!
Yep yep. However, the TRIAD is what it is because of the Foxtrot Mike FM15 upper. Gotta give FTM and other similar bufferless upper manufacturers the credit they deserve or there would be no TRIAD.
This version of the AR-15 is actually better and cooler than the regular AR-15.
Now you can appendix carry with your AR.
Beautiful gun. Would make a killer home defense or vehicle weapon with how compact it is.
100% agree
The fas block and extension being part of the barrel is great but why go to the trouble of the muzzle break when people want to put on their own muzzle devices anyway?
How the barrel nut will slide to the end? Or will be no more needed?
FM is doing excellent work reducing the modularity of the ar15.
Finally a watts link trigger on something that isn’t a kel-tec RDB unobtainium rifle
I need this in 300blk. Backpack gun for sure. Keep the suppressor attached though.
That'd be awesome!
I want a skeletal version off this! Less polymer material on the gun
A rifle length barrel would be nice.
That's the Triad bullpup system, compatible with many FM uppers, including rifle length.
They have it, I bought it. It's 16".
The ONLY issue I see is the height of the sight over bore especially since this would be for closer distances. This looks great but is it practical and usable is my question.
Looks like that handle is on a rail and you can take it off.
Like the other person said, that is a handle that you can take off. It doesn't require your optic to be that tall over bore if you don't want it to be.
That gas system is really clever

Bullpup love
I don’t believe they said the name name of the product, but the bullpup chassis is called Triad, from A3 tactical.
Normally don't care for Foxtrot Mike or bullpups, but that's some cool shit right there. I want one.
Now this is a real super shorty!
space gun is sick
wish all these AR style bullpups we are seeing were ambi/reverse ejecting like the aug, x95, mdr, rdb, fs2000, etc.
then get one of those
@@eyeamstrongest Already did.
These AR based bullpups make getting a bullpup cost effective and with readily compatible AR sourced parts if you need to replace something. The other bullpups like IWI, DT, SF, etc. are great but proprietary and parts are not plentiful, you can't just grab parts anywhere and go like you can with AR based bullpups. That's the difference. Unfortunately a con is that full ambi is not available in AR based bullpups. Pros and cons to everything right.
@@terrarecon It can totally be availible. Look at the left handed AR uppers. They exist.
Are they going to make one for us leftys?
The magpul PDR dream is becoming real.
The bullpup AR is neat but they should release it in a left hand eject version as well
What happened to do this? It was promised for end of Feb. Now it's saying end of March. Will there be a review soon?
Does this work with a standard AR lower?
That 45 degree gas port on the barrel sounds like a bad idea. The soviets experienced bullet shearing at their 45 degree port when they switched to 5.45, which led them to change the AK74 gas port to 90 degrees

This gas tube can be inserted into the AR system before installing the barrel with it , and removed as well with the barrel as far as I understood .
It will no longer be possible to do this on a pressed barrel .
There are other AR manufacturers that use 45 degree gas ports, most notably LMT. I'd say it's a non-issue.
Would be nice if they just use standard milspec barrel instead of custom. You know, because people dont just shoot what ever caliber the company chooses.
Need me one of those….thanks for this video. Great content
If they made it any shorter they could make a holster for it, and create the worlds greatest sidearm. At least until they come out with a bullpup shotgun pistol with triple tubes like that tavor shotgun.
That's the Phase plasma Rifle with a 40 watt range
Lol Terminator 1 at the gun store lol I love it 😂😂😂
that bullpup in 5.7 with ROF around 1500, would be nice.
very cool guys great engineering. Could yall make the barrels 18.5 or bigger
Would open up the 🇨🇦market
He mentioned a brace version of the bullpup kit?
I can't see that being lefty friendly unless a kydex shield is added behind the ejection port.... maybe I am wrong 🤞
Awesome ridiculousness or ridiculously awesome? Nice!
That's AWESOME!!!! I LOVE BULLPUPS!!!! It's so much better than a short barrel AR. I have several AR's, but the shortest one I have is in 300blk at 10.3". You waste too many FPS going below a 12.5" 5.56.
This thing looks absolutely ridiculous. I'll take two!
Love bullpups but isn't the bolt proprietary and if so can it take a normal bolt?
I think I’m sure I want one, I’ve been a FM fan for a long while … like since I bought my 1st one😎
Can i get the same thing with a 46" barrel chamfered for .277 fury?
With enough money, anything is possible. Hell, I once spoke to a barrel-maker who told me with a modified magazine that he could make me an MPX barrel in 7.62x25mm Tokarev
You seem like someone in the know, any idea on what happened to the Bond Bullpup 9L?
What’s the dimensions of the bull pup chassis in the video?
We just received our newest lower. Gonna buia bullpup.
wait, how exactly is this a AR? what are the parts compatibility exactly?
I had a weird dream where someone made a kit like this for an AR lower
Does this thing have a different bolt and recoil spring design? Where the buffertube at? Still looks dope... Too bad I live in a hippie country.
Paul is always doing something cool
Awesome video!! Really cool products guys !
It’s next gen bullpup should be short range but long barrels increase velocity
finally a western OTS-14
did you catch how much the overall weight is?
Surprisingly, light. I don't have numbers, but without optics, accessories, etc - the pistol version is only like 5 pounds.
In .40 Super with saboted 62 grain whatever, either M855A1 or ALCO's 0.45 ballistic coefficient bullet (both about one inch long) with a good puller sabot design one should be able to hit 3,000 fps in a six inch barrel.
Easily in an eight inch barrel.
Longer magazines would be required due to diameter increase, but M4 carbine+ ballistics in a weapon a little over a foot long.
Lots less gunpowder burned to achieve the same or better muzzle energy.
Has this ever been demonstrated? Cool idea
Interference fit for barrel so you can't remove it and a gas tube that can't be removed either?
Oh wow, the 9 inch .300 blk is really interesting.... is there an arm pistol variant with no stock I wonder?
Edit: nevermind I just answered my own question. Yes it exists and now I want one.
If you blow your gas tube, how do you replace it without pulling the barrel?
When will the bullpup be available and whats the price?
Does that chassis work with other bufferless uppers e.g. sig mcx, psa or only is it specific only to the FM15 upper?
1980's APPLESEED
So the bullpups would be considered sbrs right?
Any recoil? Yes all of it
Ok so a beefier bolt head - sounds perfect for a 6.5 grendel
Really great gun !
