The Kel-Tec RDB is a compact semi-automatic bullpup rifle designed around a downward-ejecting action that keeps spent cases away from either shoulder. Its 17-inch nitride-finished barrel is chambered for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO, while the fixed synthetic stock and rearward action help maintain a short 27.9-inch overall length. An ambidextrous manual safety, standard sights, full-length top Picatinny rail, and compatibility with AR-15 pattern magazines provide practical flexibility for range use and field applications.
