I looked at the trigger linkage in some pics and thought (to myself) whiskey tango foxtrot?

The Uzi, while dated and open bolt, is another short weapon without a real short barrel.

DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE

The song's central image is of casting off negativity and aggression, and putting on spiritual garb, at the side of a river before crossing it.

The image has several meanings:
- it refers to baptism, which in the Southern Baptist tradition usually involves wearing a white robe and being submerged in a body of water.
- it also refers to ascending to heaven after death, using the metaphor of the River Jordan, which in the Old Testament was the final passage before the Hebrews entered the Promised Land after their years in the desert.

As with many Negro spirituals, the biblical imagery can also be read as a hidden allusion to escaping slavery, with the river representing the Ohio River, which was a border between states where slavery was allowed and prohibited before the American Civil War.

The refrain of "ain't gonna study war no more" is a reference to a quotation found in the Old Testament: "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." This quote occurs twice in the Bible, in Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3, and is part of the swords to ploughshares motif.

I think it goes without saying that the advantage is enormous, so what about this trigger linkage issue? Does it impair the reliability of the gun significantly? I'm not as meticulous as some wrt maintenance, but I have a very long streak of zero FTF's on my personal firearms. Are bullpups less reliable?

There's this:

Luke 22:35 And He said to them, “When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They said, “No, nothing.” 36 And He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, ‘And He was numbered with transgressors’; for that which refers to Me has its fulfillment.” 38 They said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.

No.

Romans 13:1 Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; 4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.

Individuals may have a sword; governments certainly do.

:think: Well....I think that if they are designed well, I don't see why not. The Styer AUG is certainly well thought of and I've only heard good about the Tavor (So far...I haven't watched Nicks video yet) in this regard. Most of the legitimate complaints I've heard regarding the linkages of these weapons is centered around feel.

I just don't like the way all that linkage looks. ;)

I have never held one. I have no commentary than what I already said, it seems handy. The bullpups seem awkward to me.
