| The Thorneycroft helps illustrate the long history Britain has with bullpup designs. As far as can be determined, the Thorneycroft is the first bullpup rifle design to undergo anything like an extensive trial run. Whether the bullpup layout's advantages outweigh its disadvantages is still a matter of debate, but the concept has steadily grown in popularity in the 20th Century. Today it sees its greatest level of success yet, with multiple bullpup designs issued as standard arms in numerous countries (Israel, Austria, and France to name just three).
