A better bullpup trigger. (www.youtube.com)

How come all modern production bullpup rifles use long trigger bars? I'm assuming (maybe incorrectly) that's what makes them notoriously mushy.

Check out the TKB-022PM. The trigger releases a backward-traveling striker, that hits a class 1 lever, that hits the firing pin. I feel like that's got potential for a much better feeling trigger.

Well for one con, I could see that there's probably more time between the trigger break and actual ignition. And you have an extra part, that lever, undergoing a lot of force. And how do you recock the backward striker? On the return stroke of the bolt?

Some conventional bolt actions do that (or at least partially) so I don't see why not
