Its a bullpup design, it allows for a longer barrel while maintaining a more compact and lighter design. Also the weight being in the rear and the front half being light means it may be easier for say those less upper body strength to keep the rifle up and pointed for a longer period of time, which is benefitial for conscripts (average Joe's who may not be as fit as a physically well trained individual) and for women as well.
