        Editor’s Note: The Kel-Tec RDB Survival is an interesting 5.56 rifle that can easily fill multiple roles. Its slim and compact bullpup design makes it ideal for use as a camping gun, survival rifle, truck gun, or even a home defense tool. The downward-ejecting design and reversible charging handle also mean this rifle is a true ambidextrous gun.

        Reliability
        We had a single malfunction that was user-induced. When the magazine was seated properly, the gun ran 100%.
        Customization
        Outside of attachments for the Picatinny rail, there are a few minor upgrades for triggers and charging handles. There isn't too much else out there for this gun specifically.
        Ergonomics
        The gun feels very lightweight and points easily. The controls are well laid out, but the bullpup manual of arms isn't for everyone.
        Value
        The price on these has dropped since launch, making the RDB and most of its variants the cheapest 5.56 bullpup rifles on the market.
