    I’m no weapon expert so tell me. What does that particular stock shape help with? I would have thought you’d want it mounted higher up to help with recoil? I guess specifically why is it attached at the bottom of the pistol grip

    Edit: I recognize how stupid that question is, since a stock mounted higher would likely be in the way of the firing mechanisms…

      Yes you’ve got it. A pistol with a portion that goes to the rear needs the room. In addition, making the stock higher also means the sights need to be raised, which would add even more complexity to this…thing.
