In the world of bullpup rifle configurations, a very common concern for some users is ambidexterity. How can one hold the rifle, and utilize it to its full potential while avoiding getting hot brass in the face every time a round is fired and extracted? Kel-Tec's entry into the bullpup world is a wonderfully innovative design, with a genuine answer to the question of how brass should eject on a bullpup. With a downward ejection design, it allows both left-handed and right-handed shooters a solution for that problem.

"Bought the rdb17 and used it for one game. So far, out of the ~40 airsoft guns I've owned for the past 7 years, this gun is my favorite!
The gun fits sooo nicely in my arms, and the weight distribution is perfect. It's very satisfying to hold! Two things I noticed about this gun right away were: 1) It is much thinner than I expected, which I love! 2) This gun feels like one SOLID unit...I mean, there's no wobble whatsoever and the rifle feels very sturdy! The materials it is made of feel thick and I have absolute confidence it won't break fast.
The performance of this gun out of the box is excellent! I use .28g bbs with this gun and the trajectory really impressed me. The trigger has a satisfying click, and I absolutely love how they separated the trigger mechanism from the gearbox - an absolutely genius design! Selector switch has a satisfying and positive click. Both mags feed perfectly fine, had no issues there. One thing I realized is that the short mag (Ares 100rnd AMAG) has many advantages over the big mag because the short mag allows you to go prone without having your gun lift up!
For CQB, this rifle is also perfect once you swap the spring. The compact design plus long barrel makes this an excellent choice for CQB.
Cons:
As mentioned by other reviewers, yes, the battery space is tight. I managed to fit a 1100mah 7.4v battery with no issues, and the performance with a 7.4v is actually not too bad! The major reason as to why I was hesitant to buy this gun is that the hopup unit is in the magwell. However, once I dialed it in, it held up perfectly fine the whole day, therefore don't be too worried about the hopup unit not being accessible, it's not as bad as it sounds and the pros of this gun outweighs the cons in my opinion. Currently, there are no replacement parts for this gun besides the trigger unit/electronics. But this gun is an ARES gun, and I've owned several ARES guns in the past and never had any of them break; ARES is a good brand and makes tank gearboxes and externals.
Pros:
Literally the best airsoft bullpup AEG! I have been hunting for a new bullpup assault rifle and I think I found the one!

"Really good, once you take it apart when do the manufacturers job for them.
When I received mine is barely shot over 250 fps, the cause of this was found to be a piston that wasn't making any seal at all. One decent o ring and a little grease and it's shooting laser straight at 355 fps with .20s. Still less then advertised but near enough to indoor limits that I don't care.
Accepts other brand M4 mags, if that's important to you. However the mags that came with it don't seem to stay in other guns well.

Disassembly is a pain due to the bullpup configuration but fit and finish are otherwise very good. No wobble or loose fitment of parts. Trigger it response is excellent, being microswitch controlled. Though you do feel a little binding of the return spring now and then that's no big deal.
The gun is very back heavy as bullpups tend to be, but when shouldered it isn't noticable for me.

If you're wanting something unique in the sea of AKs and M4s and aren't afraid of a little tweaking on your part this is probably the best bullpup around. Just be ready for everyone to ask what that thing you're carrying is lol

"I have had this gun for a little bit, love the look, love the feel, love how well it handles out of the box.
- Like many people complain about, it doesn’t come with any sights but the top rail has lots of room to put whatever you want on it. I put basic t1 on mine
- The battery space is incredibly cramped as many people have said, what I ended up doing was removing some of the internal webbing and support inside the stock to make more room for a 7.5” skinny 1400mAh 11.1v 20c matrix battery.
- Weight balance is right between the handle and the magazine so it’s pretty comfortable to me. Even with a short grenade launcher on the lower rail, it’s pretty comfortable.

All in all I love it.
